A recent analysis reveals the daunting number of variables that must be considered when attempting to link agricultural production and solar energy. Federal scientists know that solar panels and crops can coexist and provide mutual benefits in certain scenarios. A recent study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) confirms this, but also shows that […]
Early last year, I thought the wind and solar price hikes were a fluke. After all, one of the constants in my decade-plus covering energy was that the prices of wind and solar were in a constant state of decline. not anymore The trend is unmistakable. Prices are going up, a lot. But the good […]
A new startup, Quino Energy, aims to bring to market a grid-scale energy storage solution developed by Harvard researchers to facilitate more widespread adoption of renewable energy sources. About 12% of U.S. utility-scale electricity generation currently comes from wind and solar sources, which fluctuate with daily weather conditions. For wind and solar to play […]
A research team, led by Professor Hyesung Park in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has succeeded in manufacturing potentially high efficiency, stable, and scalable perovskite solar cells (PSCs) via vacuum deposition apparatus, a method of fabricating organic light-emitting display devices (OLEDs). Such method is also advantageous for the mass production […]
At the end of last month in Munich, the engineers of the European aerospace firm Airbus demonstrated what could be the future of clean energy. They collected sunlight with solar panels, turned it into microwaves, and transmitted the energy through an airplane hangar, where it was turned into electricity that, among other things, illuminated a […]
