Solar energy expansion in California may accelerate the decline of some endangered species if projects fail to account for shifting ranges of plants and wildlife, according to a new study from ...

Wildfire smoke has “minimal” impact on U.S. solar power generation outside of active fire zones, according to a new study from Colorado State University. The study, published Monday in Nature ...

The placement of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands could help decrease water stress and increase plant growth by about 20 percent during dry years, a new study has found. In these semi-arid ...

A study from a federal lab found utility-scale solar farms don't significantly affect nearby property values – and the effect was only in rural areas.

The wildfire smoke that often wafts across the U.S. West may only be causing minimal disturbance to the output of photovoltaic solar panels, a new study has found. Smoke-linked losses of ...

The comparison shows the much lower efficiency of growing corn for energy, compared to solar production. In fact the study says that it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce ...

The study’s base case assumes flat horizontal installations – but if optimal tilt angles or solar tracking was used, the panels could be up to 39% more effective.

Coronal hole and spacecraft latitude effects on solar wind velocity at simulated L1/L5. Left: STEREO-B 195 Å images with segmented coronal holes and meridional slices (15°) for two events in May ...
