A solar energy system mainly produces electricity during midday and afternoon. An electricity or battery storage system stores solar electricity that you don’t use immediately to reuse it later. For example in the evening or in the morning when you and your family need more electricity. Invest in the future Unlike on grid solar system, electricity storage […]

Silicon ingot and wafer. … STEP 3: Electricity is converted. … STEP 4: The converted electricity will power your home. … STEP 5: […]
According to London-based global energy think tank Ember, the United States’ electricity sector reached an important milestone in April, when wind and solar accounted for 20% of electricity generation for the first time in history. The 20% figure is notable because the International Energy Agency calculates that to avert catastrophic climate change, wind and solar […]
Solar thermal energy systems use powerful solar energy In most systems, the heat transfer fluid is heated and circulated through the receiver and is used to produce steam. Vapor is converted into mechanical energy by fans, which enables it to generate electricity. Why do we use solar energy? 7 Reasons Why You Should Use Solar […]
Van Geest Design’s new trimaran concept brings a whole new meaning to “floating home.” Named after the single-story abodes found primarily in ancient Rome and Pompeii, Domus sports a distinctive shape that results in an inordinate amount of real estate on board. Penned in partnership with Rob Doyle Design, the 130-footer claims to have double […]
Researchers have used a widespread species of blue-green algae to power a microprocessor continuously for a year – and counting – using nothing but ambient light and water. Their system has potential as a reliable and renewable way to power small devices. The system, comparable in size to an AA battery, contains […]
