Delhi free solar panel scheme: Govt to provide 3 kW rooftop panels at zero installation cost for households using up to 400 units a month; How to applyDelhi free solar panel: Delhi's revised solar policy will provide eligible households using up to 400 units a month with 3 kW rooftop syste...- 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...
- Lambs grazing under an Oregon solar farm had 38% less grass than those in an open field, yet gained the same weight as shade made the pasture more nutritiousLambs grazing beneath solar panels at an Oregon State University research farm had access to 38% less forage than lambs in an open pasture,...
- 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...
- Silver rebounds from correction: Can the recovery gain momentum?Silver has rebounded sharply from its recent correction, supported by gold’s rally, a weaker US dollar and expectations of stronger industr...
- From Mars to interstellar space, NASA’s new giant antenna is now operationalNASA activated its new 34-meter radio antenna, DSS-23, on August 3, 2026. This new antenna will help communicate with spacecraft across the...
- 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 2025, a Finnish builder spent about $20,700 and 200 days making a 36-foot plywood solar boat. Earlier in 2026, it crossed more than 3,000 nautical miles from the Baltic to Spain on sunlight aloneA Finnish builder spent about $20,700 and 200 days creating a lightweight 36-foot plywood solar boat designed around efficiency rather than...
- In 2009, scientists began with a 3.8% perovskite solar cell. 17 years later, LONGi's silicon-perovskite tandem set a 35.5% world recordSolar cell efficiency has dramatically increased from 3.8% in 2009 to 35.5% today. This new crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cell was ...
- In 2009, German startup SkyWind first showed its rooftop micro turbine design. 17 years later, the machine has secured certification, with Utah testing verifying roughly 615 kWh of electricity per yearSkyWind's rooftop wind turbine has secured full certification after two years of testing. This compact machine produces about 1,000 watts o...
- Fire in the belly: Defence industry must move from 'Make in India' to 'Own in India'Amidst ongoing discussions in Indian defense, leaders emphasize the importance of fostering indigenous intellectual property and scalable p...
- In 2024, New Jersey regulators halted a floating solar project on the 2,000-acre Wanaque Reservoir. 2 years later, a 10-MW state incentive revived plans for what could become America's largest floating solar farmWanaque Reservoir floating solar is back in development, with New Jersey supporting a new 10 MW project on a major drinking-water reservoir...
- 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...
- Stanford ran water beneath mirror-like rooftop panels; they cooled it 3–5°C below the surrounding air by sending heat into spaceResearchers at Stanford have created innovative panels that cool water exclusively using sunlight and mirrors. These panels effectively ref...
- 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 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...
