That’s set to change, at least for the U.S., however, as the first-ever vertical agrivoltaics system is about to be built in Vermont. An agrivoltaics system uses solar panels installed on farmland so the land can be simultaneously used to grow crops and generate clean, renewable energy. Vertical agrivoltaics is where the panels are installed vertically, leaving more space for growing. The Vermont project is being…

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have discovered a new method to increase the efficiency of solar cells by a factor of 1,000. The team of scientists achieved this breakthrough by creating crystalline layers of barium titanate, strontium titanate, and calcium titanate, which were alternately placed on top of one another in a lattice structure. Their findings, which could revolutionize the solar energy industry, were recently published in the journal Science Advances. Solar cells currently in use are mostly silicon-based, but their efficiency is limited. This has led researchers…
