China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology, the world’s biggest maker of batteries for electrical vehicles, said Friday it plans to build a huge new factory in Hungary, its second in Europe. German auto maker Mercedes-Benz said it would be the plant’s “first and biggest customer”. CATL said in a statement that it will invest 7.34 billion euros […]
With heat waves being reported around the world, causing wildfires and other environmental concerns, at least one energy sector is getting attention for its major production potential: solar power. But because solar panels harvest energy from the sun’s radiation, global warming may (unexpectedly) have little benefit to solar energy production. However, this does not stop […]
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 […]
Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have developed a new method to improve solid-state hydrogen fuel cell charging times. Hydrogen is gaining significant attention as an efficient way to store ‘green energy’ from renewables such as wind and solar. Compressed gas is the most […]
The DGIST (President Kuk Yang) Thin Film Solar Cell Research Center (Chairman Gang Jin-gyu) worked with Professor Kim Se-yoon of the Department of New Material Engineering at Kyungnam University (President Park Jae-gyu) to investigate the cause of pore formation, a problem in CZTS thin-film solar cells, which are eco-friendly general-purpose thin-film solar cells. It […]
What percent of solar energy does the world use? We look at this fix in detail here. In 2019, about 1% of the world’s energy comes from solar technology. What percentage of the sun’s energy is used? What percent of the world’s energy is solar 2022? Solar PV is poised to account for 60% of […]
