Until now, the generation and storage of electricity from solar energy has been dependent on various devices, leading to conversion losses. That may change soon, as chemists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and other research institutes in Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden and the U.S. are conducting research into a hydrocarbon molecule that can either convert sunlight into electricity or save the energy for a long time in a chemical form.
SEATTLE (KTVZ) -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that the Oregon Department of Energy has been selected to receive $86.6 million through the Solar for All grant competition to develop long-lasting solar programs that enable low-income and disadvantaged communities to deploy and benefit from distributed residential solar.

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is allocating more than $156 million to Missouri for forgivable and low-interest loans and other projects to increase solar energy capacity. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s $7 billion “Solar For All” program awarded 60 applicants with funds to create new or expand existing low-income and disadvantaged communities with solar energy capacity. The EPA received requests for more than $38 billion during last year’s...
The funds will help 900,000 low-income and disadvantaged households benefit from solar energy, including by lowering their electric bills.
As vast solar plants multiply, so does the scrap, set to reach 19m tonnes by 2050. But disposing of the waste often falls to informal traders who risk injury when dismantling broken panelsUnder the scorching sun, a sea of solar panels gleams in the semi-arid landscape. Pavagada, 100 miles north of Bengaluru in southern India, is the world’s third-largest solar power plant, with 25m panels across a huge 50 sq km site, and a capacity of 2,050MW of clean energy.India has 11 similarly vast solar...
