Solar energy adoption challenges in rural Ethiopia by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 19, 2024 Despite decreasing costs and increasing accessibility of solar home systems, significant obstacles hinder their widespread use in remote areas of developing countries, such as Ethiopia, where they could greatly improve health and education. Inexpensive, […]
The role of Floating Solar in achieving Africa’s energy targets as an alternative to dams by Hugo Ritmico Madrid, Spain (SPX) Apr 19, 2024 Researchers from Politecnico di Milano have identified floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) as a viable alternative to traditional hydropower in meeting Africa’s energy goals, according to a new study published […]
USTC team enhances air-processed perovskite solar cells with new stabilizer by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 19, 2024 Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), led by Prof. XU Jixian, have developed a novel stabilizer, dimethylammonium formate (DMAFo), for air-processed p-i-n perovskite solar cells. This innovation significantly inhibits […]
A solar and battery storage system using “left over” PV modules has been installed at the site of a solar farm being built in Victoria, to slash the use of diesel in the construction of the large-scale project. Enel Green Power Australia along with contractor Beon Energy Solutions are developing the 93MW Girgarre solar farm […]
