Solar panels rely on good weather. When clouds roll in and the sky darkens, solar panels tend to work less proficiently. Solar engineers have struggled with this problem for years now. Something is ...

Scientists in China have developed an innovative solar panel technology that could turn raindrops into electric power. The new solar cell design, which can be “triggered” by both rain and sun, is ...

Data centers located in poor weather climates may be able to harness the power of sun and rain using a hybrid panel developed by scientists at Soochow University. With an upcoming data tsunami ...

Solar power has the potential to generate about 40 percent of America’s energy, yet the technology still has limitations. One is weather. Clouds and rain diminish solar cell efficiency, a problem for ...
