(Natural News) Based on the study of data concerning energy figures, in 2017 wind farms in the U.K. produced more energy compared to coal plants for more than 75 percent of days in the last year. According to the website MyGridGB, solar energy also surpassed coal “more than half the time.” In general, figures up to […]

(Natural News) While solar energy is a clean source of energy, not everyone can afford the often expensive installation costs. Now, a recent article has revealed that we might soon be able to harness solar energy from hot pavements. Samer Dessouky, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at The University of Texas at San […]

(Natural News) Renewable energy is a type of energy that can be collected from natural sources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. It is also believed to have a much lower environmental impact compared to conventional energy technology, and because of this governments continue to lean towards renewable energy sources. Apparently, […]

(Natural News) Utilizing solar power can save homes around 600 British Pounds ($775) in electricity bills every year. This was the conclusion made by a team of researchers from the Swansea University who found that installing solar storage technologies in buildings could cut energy consumption by more than 60 percent. The concept has already been […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in Advanced Materials revealed that the so-called “green” element bismuth may be incorporated to solar panels in the future without the risk of potentially detrimental effects on human, animal, and environmental health. In the previous years, silicon has been the preferred material in developing solar cells. However, researchers noted that while silicon was […]

(Natural News) A prototype for a new solar cell that compiles multiple devices into a single device that has the capability of obtaining almost all of the energy in the solar spectrum has been designed by scientists at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The new model, which transforms direct sunlight into electricity at an […]

(Natural News) Solar energy sounds great in theory doesn’t it? What could possibly be better for the environment than making use of one of Earth’s most abundant natural resources: Sunlight. Plants use sunlight to create energy, and they do so flawlessly. It is no wonder that scientists have been seeking to use the sun as a […]

(Natural News) The United Kingdom has too much renewable energy and may have to limit the amount of green energy it produces during the summer months, according to a report by the National Grid released earlier this month. Over the past few years, the U.K. has spent a lot of effort in reducing its carbon […]

(Natural News) Camping is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the U.S. In order to properly enjoy it, it’s best to always be prepared. Access to electricity can be limited. This is where solar-powered gadgets can be useful. An article from SolarPowerAuthority.com features a list of 10 solar-powered gadgets that campers should consider bringing. […]

(Natural News) The time when energy – all energy – is free, clean and readily accessible is getting closer, especially with the development of a new solar fabric that can be used to power just about anything. As noted by the Underground Reporter, the new fabric can be used for solar and kinetic power generation, […]
