Building solar farms in the desert may have become a common practice, but one new solar plant unveiled on Monday in northern Jordan is anything but ordinary. This 12.9 megawatt plant made up of 40,000 solar panels will provide power to people living in the Zaatari refugee camp, victims of war whose lives were turned upside when the violence reached their doorstep. The solar power plant became the largest ever located inside a refugee camp

Powerhome Solar is among the nation's fastest-growing energy companies. However, it's facing complaints of botched installations and unresponsive customer service. Among the 11 unhappy Powerhome Solar customers Business Insider spoke with, some say they were stuck with expensive panels that don't work. And while the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ rating, the company has had 183 complaints made against it. The vast majority of the complaints registered with the BBB were categorized under 'Problem with a Product or Service.'
Chinese solar power company Panda Green Energy recently opened the most adorable green energy solar power plant in the shape of China's national animal, the beloved panda bear. The unique shape of the huge solar farm can only be seen from the air, as shown in drone footage from Datong filmed on Tuesday. Panda Green Energy used a combination of darker monocrystalline silicon and white thin film solar cells to create the unique shape, in what is a world's first for solar farms.
Scientists at Moscow's Skoltech may have found a way to dramatically reduce solar energy costs by making solar panels with a new inorganic super-efficient material called Perovskite. Perovskite is the name given to Calcium Titanate, a rare mineral found in the Earth's mantle and named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski. In 2009, researchers discovered that Perovskite can efficiently convert the energy of visible light into electricity, and experiments on using the material in solar panels began. Now, a new and improved Perovskite solar panel is just about ready to hit markets.
