Solar panels can only generate electricity; they can’t store it, so you must pair them with a stand-alone battery bank or a power station. For home emergency power (for a few hours of power), we ...

In the last five years or so, portable fuel-powered generators and battery-based power stations have become increasingly essential in extreme weather. But power stations (i.e., solar generators) have ...

Photovoltaic efficiency has come a long way over the decades, but there’s always room for improvement. A new study analyses how to make solar thermoelectric generators, or STEGs, more efficient by ...
