A federal competition is transforming basement prototypes into real solar technologies that could power America's clean energy future. Since 2018, the American-Made Solar Prize has helped entrepreneurs solve solar's biggest challenges, from installation costs to recycling.
Saudi Arabia is transforming its energy future with a massive solar expansion that will create $145 billion in clean energy infrastructure by 2034. The Kingdom has already installed 10.2 gigawatts across 14 solar plants and is building some of the world's largest renewable energy projects.
Britain just crossed a historic milestone with 2 million solar installations powering homes across the country, marking the fastest growth rate in over a decade. Rooftop solar is making a dramatic comeback as families embrace clean energy and slash their power bills.
The UK government has thrown its weight behind 780 solar projects since July 2024, from school rooftops to massive solar farms that will power hundreds of thousands of homes. It's a dramatic shift toward clean energy that's already transforming communities across the country.
The solar energy sector is outpacing traditional energy industries in gender diversity, with women making up 40% of its workforce. A Romanian policy director shares how diverse teams are driving innovation in renewable energy.
Britain just gave the green light to 157 new solar farms in its largest clean energy auction ever, bringing the country closer to its goal of powering homes with 95% clean electricity by 2030. The move will add enough solar capacity to power millions of homes while driving down energy costs.
For the first time ever, solar energy contributed the largest share of global electricity demand growth, meeting more than a quarter of the world's increased energy needs. The clean energy milestone signals a fundamental shift in how humanity powers itself.
A major energy company just made a move that could help power grids handle much more renewable energy. Siemens Energy is acquiring a specialist that helps networks manage the flood of wind and solar power coming online.
Solar energy installations have jumped ninefold since 2016, and new data shows solar will overtake all other electricity sources within eight years. Battery storage is following the same rapid growth path that made solar affordable for millions.
An Argentine renewable energy company is pursuing a $50 million loan to build solar farms across the country, with one project including battery storage. The investment could power thousands of homes while creating jobs in five communities.
Connecticut lawmakers just approved a major solar energy bill that extends clean energy programs for two decades and creates special rates for low-income families. The legislation aims to make renewable energy more accessible while reducing long-term electricity costs across the state.
Nordic Solar just flipped the switch on a massive 91-megawatt solar farm in Sweden, marking a major milestone for renewable energy in one of the world's northernmost nations. The project proves solar power works even in countries famous for long, dark winters.
New forecasts show wind and solar power will continue expanding across America, bringing the country closer to clean energy goals. The renewable energy momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Scientists in Japan have shattered what was thought to be an impossible barrier in solar power, creating panels that convert sunlight at 130% efficiency. The discovery could transform renewable energy by capturing heat that traditional solar cells waste.
Spain and Italy just broke their all-time solar energy records for March, helping push electricity prices to their lowest levels in over a decade. Clean energy is finally making power cheaper for millions of Europeans.
Japanese researchers just achieved 130% energy conversion efficiency in solar technology, smashing through a barrier scientists thought was absolute. The breakthrough uses a "spin-flip" technique that multiplies energy from single photons of sunlight.
Families across Europe are turning to solar panels and electric vehicles as a shield against volatile energy prices. The shift marks a potential turning point for clean energy adoption driven by everyday people seeking control over their bills.
A federal judge overturned guidance that threatened thousands of renewable energy projects, reopening a vital pathway for wind and solar farms to qualify for tax credits. The ruling marks a significant win for clean energy developers racing against a July deadline.
Scientists created tiny gold spheres that absorb nearly 90% of sunlight's energy, almost doubling the efficiency of current solar technology. The breakthrough could make high-efficiency solar power far more accessible and affordable.
