The study found that the large-scale expansion of rooftop solar capacity can lead to increases in the collective profitability of fossil fuel plants.

Measurements of solar photovoltaic production data were collected every 15 minutes since August 2021, as part of the study.

This holds true even if zero-emission energy systems power the technology deployed to extract carbon dioxide, the researchers say.

The process recovers critical metals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt, addressing supply insecurity.

This new study highlights the financial and ecological benefits of raising "solar sheep" on agrivoltaic farms, combining sustainable energy production with profitable sheep ...

MIT engineers show how detailed mapping of weather conditions and energy demand can guide optimization for siting renewable energy installations.

Research on solar–pollinator habitats reveals that establishing native vegetation under solar panels can enhance biodiversity, support soil health, and promote ecological benefits, but ...

Rooftop solar panels can raise daytime temperatures but cool nighttime conditions, prompting researchers to explore integrated solutions for urban areas.

Many of these false claims center on three categories of impacts commonly attributed to renewable energy development: impacts to the environment, impacts to ...

Residents living within three miles of a large-scale solar development generally support additional solar projects, with a 3-to-1 margin favoring expansion.

This new study shows that commercial and industrial properties have the capacity to host solar resources to fill in part of that gap.

As societies move to cleaner technologies, this MIT senior seeks to make the transition more sustainable and just.
