Solar power is now big enough in Europe to get its own weather insurance market. Germany just launched the first exchange where companies can protect themselves against cloudy days affecting their solar energy profits.
Scientists just witnessed how solar flares really work, and it's changing our ability to predict dangerous space weather. The discovery could help protect our satellites, power grids, and communication systems from future solar storms.
Boston University researchers have created a system that could cut the damage from catastrophic solar storms in half, protecting our technology-dependent world from trillion-dollar disasters. Their StormWall proposal uses spacecraft to create a temporary plasma shield around Earth.
A new satellite just reached its permanent home 1 million miles from Earth, where it will protect our planet from dangerous solar storms. SOLAR-1 is now standing guard between the sun and Earth, ready to give us early warning of incoming space weather.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew closer to the Sun than any spacecraft in history, capturing the first real-time data on how solar wind forms. The breakthrough could help us predict space weather that affects satellites, communications, and life on Earth.
A solar expert proved that panels buried under nearly a foot of snow still generate significant power on cloudy days. His real-world test shatters common myths about solar reliability in winter climates.
A UK-led space mission aims to create total solar eclipses on demand, giving scientists an unprecedented view of the sun's atmosphere to better forecast damaging solar storms. The innovation could protect our tech-dependent world from billion-dollar disruptions.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe just revealed a surprising secret about how solar storms form, bringing scientists closer to protecting Earth's power grids and satellites. The discovery could transform how we predict dangerous space weather before it strikes.
While big solar farms struggle with high interest rates, Brazil's rooftop solar sector is holding steady with $2.7 billion in financing. Homeowners and businesses are proving that local, small-scale renewable energy can weather economic storms better than massive utility projects.
A powerful solar flare erupted from the sun on May 10, sending a burst of charged particles toward Earth that could create stunning aurora displays across northern states and the UK by May 13. Space weather forecasters say the glancing blow could trigger minor geomagnetic storm conditions.
Scientists studying rare crimson auroras over Japan discovered the glowing lights reached unexpected heights, suggesting moderate solar storms may be far more powerful than current measurements indicate. The finding could help protect satellites and power grids as space weather becomes more unpredictable.
A groundbreaking satellite just launched to capture the first-ever images of Earth's invisible magnetic shield, helping scientists predict dangerous solar storms before they knock out power grids and communications. After more than a decade of international teamwork, SMILE will show us what protects our planet from space weather.
A floating solar farm off Taiwan's coast produces 12% more electricity than land-based solar panels, offering a breakthrough for space-strapped nations. The ocean installation also delivers higher profits while cutting emissions.
A spacecraft witnessed how solar flares really begin, revealing they start as tiny magnetic ripples that cascade into massive explosions. The discovery could help us better predict when these powerful eruptions might disrupt life on Earth.
One of the world's largest solar manufacturers just teamed up to bring breakthrough solar technology from the lab to mass production. The new cells could make clean energy cheaper and more efficient than ever.
Cuba just generated 900MW of solar power in a single day, smashing its own record set just 24 hours earlier. The sunny island nation has skyrocketed from 6% to 20% solar energy in just one year.
One of India's leading solar manufacturers is launching a massive production facility that will help the country build its own clean energy future. The move comes as India pushes to reduce dependence on imported solar technology.
A new solar company just shattered records by taking a cutting-edge solar panel from concept to production in just 38 days. The breakthrough could make affordable, efficient solar power available to millions more homes.
Scientists just solved a major solar panel manufacturing problem that was blocking the path to ultra-efficient solar cells. Their breakthrough brings silicon solar technology closer than ever to its maximum possible efficiency.
Brazil is preparing to add 47 GW of solar capacity over the next decade, pushing solar to become the country's second-largest electricity source. The plan would bring solar close to matching hydropower's dominant position in one of the world's renewable energy leaders.
