Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), which balance transparency with photovoltaic capabilities, are emerging as pivotal solutions in the quest for self-sufficient green energy. Using ...

The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...

Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping buildings visually unchanged. The device, called a cholesteric unidirectional ...

In this video we dive into compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) and their incredible ability to focus light from multiple input angles onto a central target at once. This allows them to provide ...

This open-source project explores how to generate electricity in rural or off-grid areas using a solar-powered steam generator. The system focuses sunlight with a parabolic reflector to heat water ...

ABSTRACT: In the face of the traditional fossil fuel energy crisis, solar energy stands out as a green, clean, and renewable energy source. Solar photovoltaic tracking technology is an effective ...

ABSTRACT: This work aims at the mathematical modeling of a parabolic trough concentrator, the numerical resolution of the resulting equation, as well as the simulation of the heat transfer fluid ...

Julianna Varjopuro sprays the solar panel with a standard glass and mirror cleaner (Mellerud brand was used in the study), which was found to be almost as effective for the studied type of solar panel ...

Tracy's latest look is no exception to this. Tracy took to her Instagram feed on Wednesday, Dec. 4, where she showed off her absolutely stunning look, which ushers in a brand-new "era" for her. In the ...

New experiments by swiss researchers have show that industrial-relevant temperatures of 1,050°C can be generated from solar concentrators. Solar power for industrial heat would be able to decarbonize ...
