Solar panels on bodies of water in the northeastern U.S. might generate renewable energy but could also carry risks for birds ...

New research has uncovered a critical challenge in solar energy with the discovery that a considerable number of solar panels degrade much more rapidly than expected. About a fifth of solar panels ...

But there might be another way for new data centers to get the enormous amount of energy they plan to use. A recent report from the nonprofit Rewiring America suggests that instead of building new ...

Summer solar data is noisy. Heat, smoke, and grid limits can distort performance. Here’s how to tell what’s normal, what ...

To the editor: While I recognize that solar would not meet the total requirements of data centers now sitting empty, rooftop panels could close the gap and shorten the timeline for occupancy (“Data ...

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI is moving to pair its massive Colossus data center in Memphis with a relatively modest solar project, an 88-acre field of panels that would sit beside ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...
