The largest solar farm in Europe to be built on a closed landfill site has begun generating renewable electricity from a former rubbish dump in Essex.
This article was amended on 30 January 2023. An earlier version said that new solar is about a quarter cheaper than the cost for coal plants.
In 2023, advancements in technology have pushed the boundaries of efficiency, aesthetics, and functionality, making solar panels not only a viable energy solution but also an
Finally, remember that sustainability is a broad, relatively new field. Your dream job may not even exist yet, so keep an open mindset when exploring your options.
Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey
Solar panel technology has made enormous progress in the last two decades. In fact, the most advanced silicon solar cells produced today are about as good as the technology will get. So what''s

It''s here where UK firm Oxford PV is producing commercial solar cells using perovskites: cheap, abundant photovoltaic (PV) materials that some have hailed as the future of green energy.
These new solar panel technologies are making solar photovoltaics more accessible and efficient than ever. Dive in to discover the latest solar
“This is the next step. The technology is there but the regulations and architects have to embrace it. There are so many solutions and balcony solar is the latest trend.”
Labour is considering making solar panels optional on new homes in England, after pressure from housebuilders, in a move that would weaken low-carbon regulations, the Guardian has
Tandem solar cells promise to revolutionise the clean energy transition – but a shortage of materials means they must urgently be redesigned.
We would like to show you a description here but the site won''t allow us.
As we move further into 2023, the solar energy sector continues to evolve rapidly. New technologies are emerging that enhance the efficiency and affordability of solar panels, making them more accessible
This is a new phenomenon, but it has been coming for a while – since solar photovoltaic cells started to be installed at a rapid pace across Australia in the early 2010s.
I rent a flat so I can''t install a heat pump and put a solar panel on it, but when I can afford a house I will optimise for these big decisions that reduce my carbon footprint.
Learn how perovskite tandem solar cells could produce more electricity than silicon cells at a lower cost. Find out which companies are
