-(Natural News) The summer of 2018 is shaping up to be historic as temperatures soar around the country to new highs, especially in the desert areas of the West and Southwest. One state that has been particularly hard-hit is California. On a recent day, temperatures climbed to 122 F in Palm Springs. Besides creating new […]

-(Natural News) Promises of total independence from fossil fuel energy in the “green”-leaning Golden State are being broken, as grid operators throughout California are now having to ask customers to use as little energy as possible during peak hours in order to keep the electricity grid from completely collapsing. Reports indicate that, due to a […]

-(Natural News) When you choose to move off the grid and start prepping, this doesn’t mean you have to give up access to all modern conveniences. Some urban preppers who wish to save on their electricity bills use solar power, which is also a suitable choice for those who don’t want to rely on traditional power sources. (h/t […]

-(Natural News) As the solar industry keeps growing bigger, the search for more efficient and more cost-effective solar panel construction materials goes on as well. There are a number of known alternatives available on the market, but none of them can quite come close to the standard material of choice – silicon. Still, there is […]

-(Natural News) If the U.S. wants to completely rely on solar power, it will need to set aside a lot of land. But solar energy can fulfill the world’s power needs, and an article on Inverse states that the average nation can set aside a relatively small percentage of its land area for solar farms. […]

-(Natural News) In a Stanford News article, researchers have invented a cheap water-based battery. If successful, a much bigger version will serve solar and wind farms, storing excess electricity for later redistribution in the power grid. The three-inch tall prototype stores enough power for a small LED flashlight. The researchers believe they can scale up this […]

-(Natural News) As the saying goes: “All good things come to an end.” Solar panel technology is certainly no exception – this doesn’t mean that solar power technology is about to go away soon, but that solar cell technologies currently offer limited lifespans that can still be greatly improved. Now, new research shows exactly how it […]

-(Natural News) Most people dismiss stray leaves fluttering in the wind as one of those everyday, ordinary things. They seldom stop and take a second look unless it’s autumn, and leaves burst into flaming colors of orange, red, yellow, and purple. But do you know that the humble leaf can someday be a source of […]

-(Natural News) Concerned with the prevalence of useful but toxic perovskites in photovoltaic cells, a group of Iowa-based researchers devised alternative materials. They reported creating cheaper and eco-friendly semiconductors with similar performance, according to a ScienceDaily article. Perovskites are light-gathering materials used as semiconductors in solar panels. While highly efficient – called “wonder materials” by […]

-(Natural News) Solar panels have proven to be highly effective sources of electricity, and they are shaping up to be the absolute best source of renewable energy now and in the future. A team of researchers wants to improve it even further, and now they’ve announced their latest innovation: Solar panels that can generate power […]
