Electricity explained Electricity generation, capacity, and sales in
Electricity generation capacity. To ensure a steady supply of electricity to consumers, operators of the electric power system, or grid, call on electric power plants to produce and supply the right
Understanding Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems
Use of natural gas-fired generation differs in the United States by
Natural gas-fired power plants accounted for the second-most U.S. generating capacity additions in 2023, trailing only solar. Combined with increasing domestic supply and
Solar panel technology is set to be turbo-charged
Enter "tandem solar cells", the new generation in solar technology. They can convert a much greater portion of sunlight into electricity than conventional solar cells. The technology promises to fast-track the global
