DOE: US solar sector adds 18,401 jobs in 2023, leading energy industry

“Our policies are working. We are now starting to see the job impacts of investments made through the infrastructure and inflation reduction laws—first in construction and as America builds more of these factories, we’ll see hundreds of thousands more,” said secretary of energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “The data clearly show that clean energy means jobs—good jobs, […]

Hiding in Hudson: Photographs of the 2024 solar eclipse in New York

During a rare solar eclipse earlier this year, Colin Czerwinski visited the small city of Hudson, New York, armed with his Fujifilm X100V, to document its residents, landscapes, and everyday life. Instead of focusing on the cosmic event, he explored the subtle and often overlooked moments that define Hudson’s character. Hudson, located just over two

New process to recover silver from end-of-life solar cells achieves 98% efficiency

New process to recover silver from end-of-life solar cells achieves 98% efficiency

Scientists have used hydrometallurgical and electrochemical processes to recover pure silver from solar cells. The proposed technique also utilizes a method known as electrodeposition-redox replacement, which reportedly increases the silver recovery rate. August 26, 2024 Lior Kahana Researchers from Italy’s University of Camerino have developed a novel way to recover silver from end-of-life solar cells.

Stanford scientists design dichalcogenide solar cells based on tungsten diselenide

The researchers outlined a “scalable” manufacturing process that reportedly results in a tungsten diselenide film with an efficiency of up to 22.3%. The proposed technique could facilitate the mass production of high-efficiency multilayer WSe2 solar cells at low cost.
