The Intertubes are buzzing about the new transparent solar windows being installed at Patagonia’s California headquarters, and for good reason. An ordinary solar cell blocks sunlight from passing through. It’s a tricky feat to design one that achieves double the sustainability of harvesting renewable energy while illuminating an interior space with zero-emission solar light. The […]
The Republic of Seychelles is one of the few countries on the African continent where the access to electricity is 100%. Seychelles has an installed electricity generation capacity of just under 100 MW. About 80 MW of this is diesel generators. With about 85% of the country’s installed capacity being diesel generators in order to […]
Hybrid perovskites are materials made from metal halide frameworks interspersed with organic cations. They have attracted a lot of interest in the field of solar energy because of their light-harvesting capacity combined with a low cost of manufacturing, making perovskite solar cells (PSCs) prime candidates for replacing current silicon-based devices. Perovskites also show great […]

Angry residents objected to allowing large battery energy storage systems in Riverhead Town during a public hearing last week, arguing that the safety of the systems and potential locations of the new use should be more carefully studied in the town’s comprehensive planning process. Residents objecting to adopting the code without further study cited incidents, […]
Minnesota winters are long, cold, and dark, which doesn’t sound like the best thing to do when it comes to saving money on your electric bill. But industry experts agree that even with shorter days, solar power can be a cost-effective cost-cutting measure for residential, commercial and industrial consumers. The amount of sunlight that reaches […]
