Sandia-developed solar cell technology reaches space

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

Somewhere among the glitter of the night sky is a small satellite powered by innovative, next-generation solar cell technology developed at Sandia National Laboratories. mPower Technology’s DragonSCALES, consist of small, highly interconnected photovoltaic cells formerly known as solar glitter at Sandia. They are orbiting Earth for the first time on a satellite.

Mimicking mother nature: New membrane to make fresh water

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and their collaborators have developed a new membrane, whose structure was inspired by a protein from algae, for electrodialysis that could be used to provide fresh water for farming and energy production.

Sandia uncovers hidden factors that affect solar farms during severe weather

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Sandia National Laboratories researchers combined large sets of real-world solar data and advanced machine learning to study the impacts of severe weather on U.S. solar farms, and sort out what factors affect energy generation. Their results were published earlier this month in the scientific journal Applied Energy.
