Ultimately, every bit of energy in the world comes from the sun. He is the reason why plants and animals turned into fossil fuels. Solar power is the source of all our food, our energy for transportation systems, and the energy needed to run industries. While we think of water and wind as renewable energy […]
SOLAR: Mississippi’s two regulated electric companies push back against state regulators’ new rule that expands incentives for customers to install solar panels and other renewable energy systems. (Mississippi Today) ALSO:• A 317 MW solar farm that will be Texas’ second largest solar energy facility takes shape west of Houston. (KHOU)• A North Carolina solar business […]
Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2022 Contact: Interior_Press@ios.doi.gov PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — The Department of the Interior announced today that the Blythe Solar Power Project – a four-unit, 485 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic facility and 387 MW battery energy storage system in Riverside County, Calif. fully operational. The project, which will produce enough energy to power approximately 145,500 homes, […]
“I needed an improved tool for clearing snow and other debris from solar panels,” said an inventor, from Seguin, Ontario, Canada, “so I invented the SOLAR BRUSH. This efficient and quick tool can be used to remove snow buildup around the mounting bolts that attach the panels to the frame. It can also brush […]
Electricity-generating rooftop solar cells not only save on planet-warming carbon emissions, they also save a significant amount of water, say a pair of Duke University researchers who have done the math. A given household may save an average 16,200 gallons of water per year by installing rooftop solar, they found. In some […]
Organic solar cells (OSCs), which use organic polymers to convert sunlight into electricity, have received considerable attention in recent times for their desirable properties as next-generation energy sources. These include lightweight, flexibility, scalability, and a high power conversion efficiency (>19%). Currently, several strategies exist for enhancing the performance and stability of OSCs. […]
