Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, but they can do it around the clock, even when the sun isn't shining. Here's how.

Interested in a solar-power system to reduce your electricity bill? Here's how the whole business of converting sunlight to electricity works.

The researchers skipped the acid bath. Instead, they melted the solder at 450 degrees Celsius (842 degrees Fahrenheit) to separate it from the copper. Then they used vacuum distillation at 1,150 ...

Scientists have found that a compound extracted from camphor trees can make solar panels work better and last longer, ...

Solar panels do harness the sun’s energy even on cloudy days — but at a reduced rate. Read more about panel performance in cloudy conditions.

Solar panels do work on cloudy days, because despite cloud cover — which blocks, reflects, and absorbs sunlight — some diffused sunlight still penetrates through to reach the panels.

India’s buying of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells from China went up by 141%. This big rise is likely because India is now making more solar panels within the country.

If you have solar panels, you may be wondering how to maintain them or even if they work in the winter. This complete guide has everything you need to know.

PosiGen is seeking to transform the world by providing solar power, not just for those who can afford enormous up-front payments, but for everyone.

An MSU researcher is at the leading edge of work to figure out how to keep solar panels from becoming an environmental problem of their own.

News No, Your Solar Panels Won’t Work in Power Outages Most rooftop solar is still connected to the energy grid. If the grid goes down, the panels generally switch off.

Solar panels use photovoltaic cells that release electrons when sun shines on them. This creates an electrical current. Inverters turn it into useable power.
