How Solar Tracking Systems Increase Solar Productivity
A solar tracking system makes your solar system more powerful by orienting the solar panels such that the sunlight falls perpendicularly on the solar panels. In this way, a solar system with a tracking system produces more power than a traditional solar system. In this blog, we will discuss how a solar tracker works, and the different types of solar trackers commonly used in solar systems.

Analysts Say Solar Is Saving Texans From Widespread Power Outages Amid Extreme Heat
A sweltering heatwave has gripped Texas over the last two weeks, pushing temperatures to 115°F in parts of the state—but its status as a new leader in the development of solar power has reportedly protected many in the state from a catastrophic loss of power. An intense heat dome—in which an area of high pressure traps heat underneath it—has settled over northern Mexico and is expected to persist next week and potentially beyond, likely causing the heat index to reach high into the 100s across Texas and top 120° in the southern part of the state in the coming days.

New findings pave the way for stable organic solar cells that may enable cheap and renewable electricity generation
Organic solar cells show great promise for clean energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules made from organic semiconductors do not maintain their efficiency for long enough under sunlight for real world applications. Scientists have now revealed an important reason why organic solar cells rapidly degrade under operation. This new insight will drive the design of more stale materials for organic semiconductor-based photovoltaics, thus enabling cheap and renewable electricity generation.

Solar paint: the next big thing in renewable energy?
As of 2023, the U.S. solar industry is attracting private investment activity worth tens of billions of dollars. When that kind of serious cash starts flooding an industry, you know new innovation isn't far behind. And what sounds more innovative than ‘solar paint’? A paint that can generate electricity, but still works as normal paint? The ability to turn not only a roof, but an entire building into a solar-generating surface? If that doesn't scream innovation, then I don't know what does.
