Dezeen's latest series hears from experts across the field to explain what the dizzying potential of the sun means for design, architecture and society as a whole, explains features editor Nat Barker.

This Dezeen guide to solar power explains the different types of photovoltaics from the well-established to the more experimental.

Next-gen solar parks that enable energy and food production as well as water conservation to work in synergy on the same plot can help to solve solar's growing land-use issue, according to the researchers making them a reality.

The sun offers an endless source of energy but solar technology is being held back by manufacturing limitations, says Dutch scientist and professor Wim C Sinke in this interview.

As the sun begins to set on our series exploring the enormous potential of solar power, Dezeen looks at some of the barriers to achieving a Solar Revolution.

A moving wall that evokes a sailing ship and a roof canopy modelled on a banana tree feature in this roundup, which collects 10 buildings that challenge conventional ways of fitting solar panels.

US company Ubiquitous Energy has invented a thin coating that turns windows into transparent solar panels, providing other ways to harvest renewable energy in buildings beyond rooftop panels.

Integrated solar panels could help electric cars rival their fossil-fuel counterparts by making them less reliant on charging points and potentially free to run, says Lightyear's Emanuele Cornagliotti in this interview.

The sun will power a key part of NASA's upcoming Artemis 1 mission via a solar sail developed by Alabama company NeXolve to fly a craft into deep space without needing fuel.

Designers must think carefully about their motivations for creating solar-powered products, argues solar expert Alex Nathanson in this interview.

Dutch designer Pauline van Dongen has unveiled a vision to "reupholster our built environment" using a solar-energy-generating textile she is developing with manufacturer Tentech.

A radical change in perceptions is needed for society to fully embrace solar power, write pioneering designers Marjan van Aubel and Pauline van Dongen.
