Interest in microgrids has grown in parallel with our fixation about distributed energy resources. Their purpose is to distribute electricity within a localized network, drawing upon onsite generation as needed, with the capability of islanding and operating autonomously from the grid during outages. Frequently, the justification for operating a microgrid has been economics as in […]

Developers are planning to install 17.8 GW of utility-scale solar capacity this year, EIA said. But from January through June, just 4.2 […]
Ammonia healing of formamidinium-based perovskite films. Credit: Li Zhipeng Since 2009, scientists have suspected that perovskite films, which are a combination of organic and inorganic material, could be promising for solar panel construction. Perovskites are very thin films with a specific crystal structure that are very light and flexible, efficient, and cost effective, in comparison […]
Shaving some money off rising energy bills by generating your own power is becoming ever more appealing – so much so that solar-panel installation firms are reporting a four-fold increase in orders this year compared with 2021. High installation costs have deterred households in recent years. But “[the] time it would take to recoup the […]
