The US solar industry has seen advances in solar cell technology in recent years. In the race to make solar cells cheaper and more efficient, researchers are betting on new designs that exploit nanostructures—materials engineered on the scale of a billionth of a meter.
The development of hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles - the ultimate green dream in transportation energy - is another step closer.
Windows play an essential role in the overall energy efficiency of a home. Up to 40% of heat is lost and as much as 50% of unwanted heat is gained through windows. This heating effect is known as ‘solar gain’.
Plastic pollution is a global problem that is growing exponentially, mainly due to an increase in daily consumption of single-use plastic products.
