The US plug-in solar divide: A state-by-state race to unlock the market

For Stryker, the case for balcony solar in the US begins with affordability and energy security. Rising energy costs, she argues, have made consumers increasingly eager to generate their own electricity and reduce their dependence on volatile energy markets. “Folks are eager to be empowered to produce their own energy,” she says. “It is not

Solar panel waste silver turned into catalyst for carbon monoxide production

Solar panel waste silver turned into catalyst for carbon monoxide production

South Korean researchers have recovered high-purity silver from end-of-life silicon solar panels and used it to produce electrocatalysts for converting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide. The recycled-silver electrode sustained CO production for more than 600 hours, with its rough surface helping to prevent electrolyzer flooding. The post Solar panel waste silver turned into catalyst for
