Top 5 Solar Energy Advances Using Perovskites

For years, perovskite solar cells have promised revolutionary improvements compared to traditional silicon solar panels. Perovskite could hold the key to higher efficiency at lower costs and in some cases has shown a 250% performance boost. But scientists have been working on improving this solar energy tech since the 1990s. What do we have to […]

The INCREDIBLE Engineering of Japan’s New Space Solar Farm!

By now you’ve probably seen my solar panel experiments and how I built my own solar generator for an IoT prototype for Boston. As cool as solar power is, even the best solar array is dormant about half the time as the rotation of the earth gets into the way. But, what if you could […]
