George Cove, a forgotten solar power pioneer, may have built a highly efficient photovoltaic panel 40 years before Bell Labs engineers invented silicon cells. If proven to work, his design could lead to less complex and more sustainable solar panels. Above: George Cove stands next to his third solar array.

Projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) show the share of renewable generation increasing from 18% in 2018 to to 31% in the U.S. by 2050.

Some of the environmental issues getting the most scrutiny have been toxic substanc...
