Q: We have a relatively flat roof on our house that is covered with foam but that needs to have an elastomeric coating put over the foam every few years. But if I have solar panels installed on the ...

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 10, 2023 / The urge to maximize sustainable energy production has rocketed as scientists continue to remind us of the worsening climate crisis. Particularly because ...

Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can be a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can ...

(Nanowerk News) A University of Houston researcher has developed a nanoparticle coating for solar panels that makes it easier to keep the panels clean, maintaining their efficiency for longer and ...

It's important to give careful consideration to the direction that rooftop solar panels are facing in order to pull maximum energy from the sun, but a new type of material might mean their orientation ...

Researchers in India have demonstrated a wet chemical process to recover silicon with high purity from end-of-life solar panels, which they used to make functionalized silica nanoparticles. Tests of ...

Researchers at University of California Riverside have created a coating for solar panels that could improve solar photovoltaic efficiency by 30 percent or more. “The infrared region of the solar ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a transparent coating, an organic polymer called PEDOT. That could mean solar panels that are easier to manufacture and make installing on roofs even simpler. The ...

China’s latest innovation is a transparent coating technology that can turn ordinary windows into solar power generators. This remarkable advancement has the potential to completely change how we ...
