    Kitschy-Yet-Eco-Friendly reNEW Solar Battery Charger

    It looks like a battery-eating iPhone case, but the reNEW Solar Battery Charger concept is actually a clever little device that spits out fully-charged batteries while attaching to your windows with suction cups. Your back-of-the-house, no-one-will-actually-see-it-here window. Updated. More »

    Amazing Student-Made Solar Homes Compete in International Solar Decathalon

    The Solar Decathalon, a 10-criteria (it's a little bit of a stretch to decathalon, but that's okay) judging contest, just completed this year's competition, and there are some incredible works here. I love that each group used its hometown aesthetic. More »

    Super-Tough Solar Panels Could Make Every Road Into a Power Plant
