Extruded aluminum framing improves solar-thermal collector efficiency, economics. • Solar-thermal plants must concentrate energy on the small focal band or efficiency drops off dramatically. • New ...

A solar tree is a structure resembling a tree that generates solar energy using photovoltaic (PV) panels. It employs principles of biomimicry, using a natural system—in this case the form of a tree—to ...

A recent study indicates that vertically designed “solar trees” can generate electricity on par with conventional solar farms while reducing associated forest loss by up to 99 percent. “Through 3D ...

Solar energy is often praised for being cleaner and more sustainable than other power sources. For example, fossil fuels are finite, their sources are depleting, and they cause air pollution.

A new species of trees is taking root in some Miami city parks. The first of 11 solar trees was topped off this week at the Bay of Pigs Memorial Park in the 300 block of SW 56th Ave. Standing 24-feet ...

A researcher from South Korea’s Korea Maritime Institute has found solar trees have the potential to generate the same power of a solar farm while reducing the loss of forest cover by up to 99%. In ...
