Energy Equity: Bringing Solar Power to Low-Income Communities
While community solar initiatives vary widely, they tend to share two overarching policy goals. First, states and cities want to reduce living expenses for low-income households, which on average spend 8.2 percent of their income on energy bills — about three times more than moderate- to high-income households. For decades, …
Do Solar Panels Work in Snow and During Winter?
Sunny states (like California, Arizona, and Florida) are not the only places where solar makes sense fact, the top cities for solar in the U.S. aren''t the sunniest ones. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) ranks New Jersey and New York in the top 10 for states with the highest amount of installed solar in 2022, with large percentages of …
Let it Snow: How Solar Panels Can Thrive in Winter Weather
Although at first blush it may seem that solar power is ideal for the summer, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels actually produce useful power throughout all four seasons. Tackling weather-related challenges is one reason why the SunShot Initiative funds Regional Test Centers, where solar panel performance can be time-tested in widely varying ...

Why is This Research Topic Important?
Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer
Electric and magnetic fields are invisible areas of energy (also called radiation) that are produced by electricity, which is the movement of electrons, or current, through a wire. An electric field is produced by voltage, which is the pressure used to push the electrons through the wire, much like water being pushed through a pipe.
