Hooking up solar panels to batteries is the norm for storing extra energy produced when the sun is shining. To streamline this process, researchers now report a lithium-ion battery that can be ...

When the grid goes down, EV owners have a few options to keep their vehicle powered or to use their vehicle as backup power.

A fire at a battery supply bank in a house in The Villas served as a wake-up call about the potential risks of solar energy systems. The bank, which stored energy for a rooftop solar panel system, ...

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have unveiled an innovative method for repurposing high-purity silicon from retired solar panels, potentially revolutionizing ...

A new water-based “liquid battery” could make home solar storage safer and cheaper than today’s $10,000 lithium-ion systems. Using flow battery technology, it stores energy in liquids instead of ...

Scientists have devised an efficient method of recovering high-purity silicon from expired solar panels to produce lithium-ion batteries that could help meet the increasing global demand to power ...
