  • Duke Engineer Builds Hybrid Solar Power System

    While roofs across the world sport photovoltaic solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity, a Duke University engineer believes a novel hybrid system can wring even more useful energy out of the sun’s rays. More…

  • Solar Innovation to Capture 95% of Light Energy

    Today’s solar panels only collect about 20% of available light, but a University of Missouri engineer has developed an innovative flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90% of available light.  Prototypes are expected to become available within the next 5 years, and the implications of this product on solar energy developments are significant.
