Bill McKibben’s new book argues that sun power can displace fossil fuels.

Solar thermal energy is the process of concentrating sunlight to create heat, which can be used to create electricity or to heat a home, its water supply and more.

Efficient solar thermal technology making a comeback with innovative projects like IIT-Madras and IIT-Delhi's joint venture ...

Scientists at the University of Sharjah have secured a U.S. patent (US12341471B2) for an innovative cooling system designed ...

The same concept has been used for small camping stoves and enormous solar furnaces. And while solar panels that take advantage of concentrated sunlight to boost their power output already exist, ...

Solar thermal panels, on the other hand, uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight and is typically used for water heating. Solar thermal is more efficient but only is maximized when the sun is out.

Solar power can also be converted into thermal or electrical energy. Other examples of renewable energy include wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, ocean energy and bioenergy, according to ...

To keep solar power stations from getting lazy, Sandia National Laboratories scientist John Sandusky is looking to give ...

An innovative hybrid solar device that combines a PV panel and energy storage has achieved record levels of energy storage efficiency. Unlike conventional batteries, the molecular solar thermal ...

The annual solar thermal energy yield of this installed capacity amounted to 456 TWh (terawatt hour), which correlates to savings of 49.1 million tons of oil and 158.4 million tons of CO2.

Bills. About 18% of the energy you use in your home goes to heating up your water. A traditional electric water heater costs about $438 per year to operate, while a gas water heater costs about ...
