Translating electrochemical performance of large format batteries to microscale power sources has been a long-standing technological challenge, limiting the ability of batteries to power microdevices, microrobots and implantable medical devices. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have created a high-voltage microbattery (> 9 V), with high-energy and -power density, unparalleled by any existing battery design. […]
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) can be made with low-cost materials, are highly efficient, can surpass traditional silicon solar cells, and have the potential to revolutionize renewable energy. However, one of the current drawbacks preventing their widespread use has is their lack of operational stability. Now, scientists at EPFL and Sungkyunkwan University in […]
What is the largest solar farm in the US? The Solar Star solar farm produces enough renewable energy to power nearly 255,000 homes. Solar Star, which resided on more than eight miles of land in Kern and Los Angeles, California, took two years to build and generates the most power of any solar farm in […]
Solar panels at a photovoltaic solar park on the outskirts of the coastal town of Lamberts Bay, South Africa, Tuesday, March. 29, 2016. Italian company TerniEnergia started the solar park using a photovoltaic process that converts light into electricity through panels, with the plant expected to produce up to 75 megawatts, to be… Korean solar […]
French MPs on Tuesday moved ahead with a law to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, as the country’s nuclear plants suffer a maintenance crisis and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drives up energy costs. Having secured rare support from the left, President Emmanuel Macron’s minority administration is now a step closer to lowering hurdles to […]
ABC Solar, a solar energy company based in California, has released a statement regarding the impact of NEM 3.0 on the solar industry in California. The company’s founder and CEO, Bradley Bartz, has stated that while there is still some uncertainty around the effects of NEM 3.0, they believe the company will be able […]
