The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor geomagnetic activity on Jan. 31.

The boost in wind and solar production has also been larger than the increase in generation from natural gas, which remains the single largest source of power on the grid, generating nearly 44 percent of the electricity used in the US.

How Solar Panels Work Solar panels are marvels of modern technology, harnessing the vast power of the sun. These devices utilize photovoltaic (PV) cells to turn sunlight directly into electricity. At the heart of these cells is silicon,

"Rising generation from total renewables will cause natural gas generation to decline by 3% in 2025 and by another 1% in 2026," the EIA said.

The Abundant Resource Solar energy is the most plentiful energy resource available on our planet. Every hour, enough sunlight hits the Earth to power the entire world for a year. Imagine a source so abundant that it practically dwarfs any other renewable option in scope and promise.

The president’s executive orders don't single out solar energy, but his freeze on climate spending could affect the industry as solar growth stagnates

China raced ahead building renewable energy last year, installing more wind and solar power than ever before and continuing to leave all other countries in the dust.

A U.S. solar industry group on Wednesday unveiled an aggressive goal to deploy vast amounts of energy storage capacity by 2030 to help renewables serve power-hungry customers.

Springfield lawmakers will hash out a plan to move solar and wind projects forward after sluggish growth for clean power in Illinois and a recent rise in coal and natural gas demand.

A bill to empower Wisconsin municipalities to block construction of solar and wind farms in their backyards was introduced a second time.
