The Public Works Department will survey suitable buildings for...- In 1905, Einstein unlocked a mystery of light that seemed almost impossible, unknowingly laying the foundation for smartphone cameras, solar panels, burglar alarms and technologies yet to comeAlbert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect in 1905. This interaction of light and matter powers many modern devices. His theory rev...
- Scientists taught cameras to watch birds around solar panels; after 19,000 hours of footage, they discovered how the birds were actually using themResearchers are examining how birds interact with solar panel systems, utilizing AI-enhanced cameras to capture extensive footage of avian ...
- In a 2023 China tea-field trial, bushes grew beneath tracking solar panels; fresh-leaf yield was 15.3% higher while annual average PAR was 52.9% of the controlA recent Chinese agrivoltaic study revealed that solar panels can boost tea bush production. While these plants receive diminished light, t...
- In 2020, researchers tested a self-moistening hydrogel mat under solar panels; it cooled them by at least 10°C and boosted output by up to 19%New research introduces a cooling gel for solar panels. This gel absorbs moisture at night and releases it as vapor during the day. The coo...
- In 2025, First Solar began production at a 2.4-million-square-foot Louisiana plant. 1 year later, it can turn raw glass into 12 finished panels every minuteA massive Louisiana solar panel factory operates independently of new import tariffs. This plant produces panels using a unique cadmium tel...
- Australia used concentrated sunlight to split water directly into hydrogen without an electrolyzer; SunHydrogen’s coaster-sized module hit 10.8%, while its 1,200-cm² version reached 9%SunHydrogen and Australia’s Sparc Hydrogen are cutting out traditional electrolyzers to make green hydrogen. By placing semiconductor absor...
- In a Biosphere 2-linked Arizona study, cherry tomatoes grew beneath solar panels with 50% less irrigation; midday water stress was about 40% lower across cropsUniversity of Arizona researchers studied the effect of solar panel shade on crop growth. Their findings suggest agrivoltaic systems reduce...
- Avaada said to plan public filing for $800 million IPOAvaada Electro is gearing up for an initial public offering aiming to raise up to $800 million. The solar manufacturing company has partner...
- In 2022–2023, Bar-Ilan University grew tomatoes between 24 tracking solar modules; the most shaded rows saw fruit yields fall by up to 57%Research conducted by Bar-Ilan University delved into the concept of agrivoltaics, where solar panels and crop growth coexist. The findings...
- India bets on battery storage boom to reduce solar power lossesThe current grid infrastructure is causing marked energy loss during high-demand summer periods. To combat this, developers are integrating...
- Satellite researchers studied China’s desert solar farms; vegetation developed across 30.8 square kilometres within and around the installationsSolar farms in the arid deserts of China are transforming barren landscapes into vibrant green spaces. Between 2011 and 2018, researchers n...
- In July 2019, scientists watched mayflies mistake solar-like glass for water; females landed and deposited eggs on the dry surfaceFemale mayflies are confusing solar panels for water surfaces, which is causing difficulties with their reproduction. This issue, termed po...
- Rainfall experiments found solar panels cut soil erosion beneath their surfaces by 27–63%, while concentrated dripping created new erosion hotspots along panel edgesSolar panels significantly reduce soil erosion directly beneath them during rainfall events. However, concentrated runoff at panel edges ca...
- In 2025, researchers in Italy’s Puglia region grew grapevines beneath solar panels; the shaded vines produced 277% more grapes than those in full sunGrapevines under solar panels in Italy showed significantly increased productivity. This shade moderated soil temperature and retained mois...
- In 2010, researchers tested solar panels with white lines; the modified surfaces were up to 26 times less attractive to polarotactic insectsSolar panels, with their shiny surfaces, can inadvertently attract insects seeking water. This phenomenon leads to ecological harm, disrupt...
- In a 2023 Brazilian study, sheep under photovoltaic panels experienced 30% less radiant heat and up to 8°C lower wool-surface temperaturesA recent study shows sheep benefit from solar panel shade during hot weather. These animals experience significantly less radiant heat expo...

- In 1956, solar power was priced at about $1,865 per watt and survived largely because spacecraft needed lightweight power. Decades later, prices fell below 50 cents per watt and solar became the cheapest new electricitySolar power once cost a staggering $1,865 per watt in inflation-adjusted terms. Today, solar panels can cost only a fraction of a dollar pe...
