The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a vital system of ocean currents that transports tropical heat to Europe, appears more resilient than previously feared. While climate models have long warned that global warming could trigger a catastrophic collapse of this "conveyor belt" by freshening North Atlantic waters, recent data from ...

Ningbo Deye Technology Co., Ltd. showcased its latest line of solar-powered air conditioners at SNEC 2026, highlighting a hybrid approach to residential cooling. These units are designed to operate using direct current from connected solar panels during the day while seamlessly switching to grid power at night. By integrating solar ...

Stellantis has reached a significant milestone in electric vehicle development by initiating the first North American road tests of a solid-state battery integrated into a Dodge Charger. Developed in partnership with Factorial Energy, this technology utilizes Factorial Electrolyte System Technology (FEST) to replace traditional liquid electrolytes with a semi-solid hybrid ...

Europe has established itself as the world’s leading region for inverter manufacturing outside of China, with total capacity now exceeding 100GW. This milestone, highlighted by PV Tech Market Research, places Europe ahead of the APAC region, the United States, and India. Driven by strategic policy shifts and the Net-Zero Industry ...

Researchers at Western University in Canada have successfully demonstrated a foam-backed floating photovoltaic (FPV) system capable of operating in freezing conditions. Tested in an Ontario stormwater pond, the array generated 7.7 megawatt-hours of electricity over one year, outperforming standard floating solar models by approximately 2.7 percent. By utilizing flexible solar ...

The debate between battery-electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles centers on how they store and utilize energy, rather than a fundamental difference in propulsion, as both rely on electric motors. While both technologies offer zero tailpipe emissions, battery-electric vehicles are significantly more efficient, converting over 70 percent of electricity to ...
