Homeowner''s Guide to Going Solar
Question: Suppose you have a car with a 85-hp engine. How large a solar panel would you need to replace the engine with solar power? Assume that the solar panels can utilize 20% of the maximum solar energy that reaches the Earth''s surface (1000 W/m2). 1 hp = 746 W. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are based on a high-tech but remarkably simple technology that converts sunlight directly to electricity. ... of PV technology helps to make PV systems more resilient to extreme …
Large sheets of transparent graphene that could be used for lightweight, flexible solar cells or electronics displays can now be created using a method developed at MIT. The technique involves a buffer layer of parylene for the graphene transfer process. Lead researchers include Jing Kong, Tomas Palacios, Markus Buehler, and Giovanni …

Solar Energy, Wildlife, and the Environment
Perovskites are widely seen as the likely platform for next-generation solar cells, replacing silicon because of its easier manufacturing process, lower cost, and greater flexibility. Just what is this …
That''s if we spread solar panels evenly across the entire country. If we concentrate solar production in the sunniest regions, the total land footprint falls to 12,000 sq-km. Those sound like big numbers. On the one hand they are. Massachusetts (where I reside) spans about 27,000 sq-km, for comparison.
