Efficiency is the name of the game, and automakers are striving for higher and higher numbers. Currently, the most fuel efficient gasoline-powered vehicle is the Toyota Prius at 50 mpg. Getting into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles ...
At first blush, the primary reason you may be considering solar power is to add value to your home, reduce your utility bills, or minimize your carbon footprint. Of course, these are noble goals, and solar power is a...
Photovoltaic solar panels are a really green way to generate electricity. They are simple, have zero emissions, and last for decades. They also take up space, and the more electricity required, the more space they use, and not...
Not long after achieving a 23.5% efficiency rating with its standard solar panel, Santa Clara-based startup Alta Devices is claiming to have the worlds’ lightest solar mats.
Alta Devices claims that its solar mats are more efficient, despite challenges to...
Experts believe that wind power will be the key in the quest for alternative energy solutions. After years of research, scientists have determined that adding superconductors to generators will increase the performance and generate 10 megawatts while also reducing...
