-(Natural News) New York-based researchers developed self-assembling nanomaterials for solar technology applications. Photovoltaic cells made from these materials reached up to 44 percent higher levels of efficiency. Furthermore, the cells generated more usable solar charges. Sunlight is an abundant source of clean energy. Industries are switching from traditional, highly polluting fossil fuel energy sources to solar power […]

-(Natural News) In 2008, a winery in Napa Valley, California set up the first floating solar array in the world. The idea of floating solar panels became popular in Asia, but it only gained traction in the U. S. in recent years. Experts believe that floating solar arrays on artificial bodies of water might produce more than 400 […]

-(Natural News) Japanese researchers from three prestigious academic institutions took a hard look at the kind of technology needed by the hydrogen-based green energy industry to successfully compete with the fossil fuel energy industry. They estimated that Japan needs a new generation of cheap rechargeable batteries to produce clean, renewable fuel at cost-effective rates. Aside from the technology levels, the joint study also considered […]

-(Natural News) In order to conserve land, researchers proposed an alternative location for space-intensive solar energy farms. They wanted to set up floating solar photovoltaic arrays on the surfaces of the thousands of artificial reservoirs that provide drinking water and hydroelectric power to the United States. A recent study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) pointed […]

-(Natural News) The race is on to replace so-called “dirty” energy — which is created by burning fossil fuels from coal and oil and which pollutes the environment — with energy from cleaner sources like solar, wind and hydro power. Evidence of this change can be seen all around us in the form of wind […]

-(Natural News) Solar energy is often used to power the process that converts undrinkable seawater into potable liquid. Italian researchers found a way to vastly increase the efficiency of the solar-powered desalination process, resulting in at least twice the amount of drinkable water compared to older approaches. Desalination removes salt from seawater so that it […]

-(Natural News) Solar-powered technology has indeed come a long way since it was first invented. These days, it has come to a point where it can finally be used in large-scale applications, the latest of which is a fully working road that’s made to be used by motor vehicles. The road, colloquially referred to as a solar […]

-(Natural News) American researchers force-fed gold nanoparticles to a non-photosynthetic bacteria. The offering of precious metal bits gave the microbe the ability to turn light into solar fuel, reported a Nanowerk article. Moorella thermoacetica is not normally capable of photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) added cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to the […]

-(Natural News) Solar power is one of the most eco-friendly sources of energy. If you plan to live off the grid, you might want to consider solar power as a sustainable source of clean energy. The initial investment might cost you a hefty sum at first, but you will be able to save on your utility […]

-(Natural News) Staying in touch with family, friends, and allies is a must, especially when SHTF. But long-range active communications equipment will require quite a lot of power, especially if you are going to use a powerful radio transceiver that can reach very long distances. Solar power is one of the most efficient and reliable […]
