See new innovations from students, scientists, and cutting-edge companies developing solar energy resources and technology. Read up on new ways being used to harness the abundant power of one of the earth’s best sustainable resources. The solar industry is booming worldwide. Not only is solar power the most abundant source of energy, but it’s also turning out to be the cheapest as well in the end.
Various solar products available include Solar paint, solar streetlights, solar roads and parking lots, solar-powered boats, cars, and aircraft, solar glass panels, glitter-sized solar cells, solar paint, solar panels roof tiles, ‘Solar Skin’ panels that match roofs, solar panel retracting petals, origami shaped portable chargers, solar blinds, solar-powered backpacks, and water heaters.
Although we would love to see every home have solar panels installed, if you are not ready for that stage just yet, you can still support the solar industry by signing up for local solar energy projects for your community.
Check all our resources to keep up to date on the latest developments in technology, policy, projects in communities and entire cities and countries, and how solar power continues to expand.
