From rolling blackouts in California to windstorms toppling forests (and power lines) in Washington State; hurricanes devastating communities along the eastern seaboard to electrical grid failures in ...

Solar panels can only generate electricity; they can’t store it, so you must pair them with a stand-alone battery bank or a power station. For home emergency power (for a few hours of power), we ...

Before purchasing a solar generator for home backup, it’s important to first assess if you want a full solar generator setup (power station + solar panels), or if it would be more cost effective to ...

A Rochester team engineered a new type of solar thermoelectric generator that produces 15 times more power than earlier versions. By enhancing heat absorption and dissipation rather than tweaking ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

When it comes to solar power, solar cells and panels tend to get all the attention. But there's a different kind of solar power generator known as a STEG, and researchers have just figured out a way ...

The double-punch of the surprise May derecho and Hurricane Beryl spurred many Houstonians to consider backup power options. Even before this year’s natural disasters, one in four households in the ...
