The U.S. solar energy market will get a 40% boost from the Inflation Reduction Act, according to a report released Thursday by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie. The report estimated the legislation would result in an additional 62 gigawatts of solar installations over baseline projections, boosting total total solar installations to 336 […]
Entanglement is a strange phenomenon in quantum physics where two particles are inherently connected to each other no matter the distance between them. When one is measured, the other measurement is instantly a given. Researchers from Purdue University have proposed a novel, unconventional approach to generate a special light source made up of entangled […]
BERLIN – Longer daylight hours have boosted solar power generation in Europe this summer, helping to reduce demand for natural gas imports, a report said Thursday. Energy think tank Ember said the European Union generated 12% of its electricity from solar energy from May to August, up from 9% in the same period last year. […]
TrinaTracker, a global leading tracking solutions provider, completes “Kesses,” a 55 MW PV installation located in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The project is owned by Alten Energias Renovables and built by Voltalia in partnership with TrinaTracker. The installation includes 103.936 ultra-high-power modules mounted on 928 single-axe Vanguard 2P trackers, with an […]
The design of efficient solar cells, which harness energy to generate electricity or produce hydrogen by splitting water, has received much attention globally. Another route to harnessing abundant, free solar energy: using it as a pumping source for lasers. High-power lasers are earmarked for several applications, including deep space communication, atmospheric sensing, high-temperature material […]
Solar power isn’t just for hippies or singles who want to “live online” anymore. In case you haven’t noticed, major manufacturers have been adding solar power to their operations lately. Lego A/S says its new injection molding plant in Virginia relies solely on solar energy. Sealed Air Corp. is investing $9 million to convert the […]
