A recent Cornell University study highlights the tension between agricultural land use and renewable energy goals in New York, where solar energy is anticipated to contribute significantly to the state’s target of 70% renewable energy by 2030. The study reveals that approximately 84% of land identified for solar development is agricultural, with around 40% of […]
Floating solar power represents a promising avenue for clean energy production while maintaining water quality in aquatic environments. Studies reveal that floating photovoltaic systems (floating PV) do not adversely affect water quality or aquatic plant growth, as evidenced by research conducted on various lakes in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Germany. Despite these benefits, floating PV […]
Norway’s hydrogen energy policy, which began with high hopes in 2020, underwent a significant change in 2024 after facing various challenges. The country had originally planned to use blue and green hydrogen for ships, industry and perhaps homes, investing more than NOK 1 billion. However, thermodynamic and market economic realities – green hydrogen consumes large […]
Chint Power Systems has successfully completed the grid connection of its 1.6MW/3.34MWh liquid-cooling energy storage project in Kumamoto, located in Japan’s Kyushu region. This advanced AC/DC-integrated solar-storage hybrid solution marks an important milestone in supporting Japan’s clean energy goals, enhancing both grid stability and local energy resilience. The project brings together a range of cutting-edge […]
Sungrow, in partnership with BKE, has successfully delivered a 22kW rooftop solar system to Khoen On Primary School in Lai Chau, Vietnam. This meaningful initiative is designed not only to provide a reliable and sustainable energy supply to the school but also to spark interest and awareness among students about the importance of renewable energy […]
Prysmian has officially announced the upcoming addition of the Alessandro Volta, a new state-of-the-art cable-laying vessel, to its fleet. Set to become operational in 2027, this new vessel will bring Prysmian’s total to eight operating ships, forming the largest cable-laying fleet in the world. The Alessandro Volta has been designed to meet the evolving demands […]
GoodWe is proud to contribute to the #100SolarSchools initiative led by the Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation, delivering reliable solar energy to the Bobryk Gymnasium in Kyiv Region. In partnership with We@Voltalia, GoodWe supplied ET hybrid inverters and Lynx Home F batteries for a 42.3 kWp solar system. This project ensures that students can continue […]
Scientists have developed silicon-free and longer-lasting solar panels using perovskite cells. In the study, led by a research team from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, assistant professor Juan Pablo Correa-Baena and his team investigated perovskite crystals as a new material that could replace silicon. Perovskite has emerged […]
China is advancing a groundbreaking project to build a massive space-based solar power (SBSP) station, potentially generating near-limitless clean energy. Compared to moving the Three Gorges Dam into orbit, the system would collect intense sunlight in space, convert it into microwave energy, and beam it back to Earth. The kilometer-wide array, expected to be operational […]
Solis has successfully contributed to a significant step towards sustainability with the installation of a 388.93 kWp solar power system at JJ Food Service Limited in Newcastle. This state-of-the-art system, powered by 4 x Solis S5-50K and 1 x S5-60K inverters, is now actively generating clean, renewable energy to meet the facility’s energy demands more […]
