An expanse of blue solar panels stretches across part of the Yamakura Dam reservoir in Japan’s Chiba Prefecture. In two years, if construction goes as planned, 50,904 panels will float atop the ...

As the market for floatovoltaics explodes, scientists are studying how to make the systems also work for waterbirds and other ...

The 126 MW Omkareshwar Floating Solar Park spans 642 acres, boosting green power. Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson reports on this innovative solution to global energy challenges.

Floating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on reservoirs and open waters have gained prominence, as more countries tackle the critical transition toward cleaner energy.

Floating solar panel systems that have several advantages over traditional solar panels are gaining traction in the U.S. Floating panels are popular due to a lack of a land footprint.

The biggest winner in floating solar would be the US, which has the potential for 1,900 TWh under the 30/30 limitations. The US is using about 3,900 TWh a year, so that works out to be just under ...

Floating solar has been growing slowly in the U.S. over the past few years and could soon make a much bigger splash as more companies want to tap into federal incentives for solar while avoiding ...

New Study Shows Federally Controlled Reservoirs Could Host Enough Energy To Power Approximately 100 Million US Homes a Year Floating solar panels For the first time, researchers have used more ...

Vast arrays of floating solar panels near the equator could provide unlimited clean energy to countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa, according to new research. Engineering professors at ...

Solar prominences flow along a magnetic field the sun generates and can last for several months. The prominences can extend into space as far out as 200,000 miles, nearly the distance between the ...

A NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory photo shows a solar prominence erupting from the surface of the sun in March, 2010. These prominences can be tens of times larger than Earth.
