Australia's transition to renewables is gathering speed, but there's a looming problem with storage. We will need much more long-duration storage to get us through the night, once coal and fossil gas ...

The Chilean government recently gave the go-ahead on a massive solar thermal plant that is expected to produce electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week—a considerable feat for a plant that ...

Dominic Zaal receives funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), which is a Federal Government funding agency. Australia’s transition to renewables is gathering speed, but there’s a ...

Italian researchers have reviewed different system configurations for photovoltaic-thermal solar-assisted heat pumps in buildings. They say that using the PV-thermal collector as the heat pump’s ...

Two 650-foot-tall (200-m) towers have risen in China's Gansu Province. Combined with an array of 30,000 mirrors arranged in concentric circles, the new facility is expected to generate over 1.8 ...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Southern California Edison, a utility arm of Edison International, said on Wednesday it had signed contracts to buy up to 960 megawatts of power from solar thermal and wind ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades under real weather conditions. An international research collaboration has ...

Despite widespread global success and huge opportunity for reducing fossil fuel demand, solar water heating is virtually unheard of in the U.S. Evidence suggests our demand for simple fixes is to ...

Researchers in Malaysia designed a photovoltaic-thermal system that can be used in solar drying, space heating, rooftop systems, and off-grid thermal applications. It relies on a double-pass cooling ...
