Wind Industry enjoyed its second-best year but scaling-up for Net Zero requires policy breakthrough
Record years for several regions and offshore wind reflect strong market growth, but installations must still quadruple by the end of the decade to meet a net zero pathway.
Scientists achieve record efficiency for ultra-thin solar panels
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick (1μm), convert light into electricity more efficiently than others as thin.
Offshore Wind Farms Could Interfere With Radars
Environmentalists and marine professionals recognize a significant limitation with offshore wind farm expansions. Namely, ships are experiencing more frequent collisions. Wind farms are interfering with vessels' radar systems and creating safety challenges.
Hanwha pledges commitment to build a fully American solar supply chain
Hanwha Solutions to become the largest shareholder of Norway-based U.S. polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon after acquiring an additional 4.67% stake from Aker Horizons, increasing total investment to $204 million and ownership share to 21.34%.
How to clean solar panels without water
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin achieve record efficiency of 28.7% for 2-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
The joint achievement from Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin sets a new world record for 2-terminal tandem solar cell efficiency based on perovskite top-cell technology and using a mass-production-ready silicon bottom cell based on Q.ANTUM technology.
PEABODY TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR PV AND BATTERY STORAGE PROJECTS LOCATED ON PREVIOUSLY MINED COAL PROPERTIES
PEABODY ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF R3 RENEWABLES, A JOINT VENTURE IN COLLABORATION WITH RIVERSTONE CREDIT PARTNERS AND SUMMIT PARTNERS CREDIT ADVISORS. THE COMPANY WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR PV AND BATTERY STORAGE PROJECTS ON PREVIOUSLY MINED COAL PROPERTIES
Perovskite Solar Cells Taking the Heat
In a recently published Science paper, KAUST researchers have reported a significant milestone through the first-ever successful PV damp-heat test of PSCs.
What Is the Site Renewables Map for Energy Potential?
On February 8, the Nature Conservancy launched the Site Renewables Right map. The tool shows where the most impactful places to build new renewable energy infrastructure are within the central U.S.
Why Are Wind Turbines Getting Larger?
Larger devices produce more emission-free electricity than smaller variants. Sustainability policies and regulations, like the United Nations (UN) Paris Agreement, may influence wind power's continuous expansion.
Turlock Irrigation District Selected to Pilot First-In-The-Nation Water-Energy Nexus Project Involving Solar Panels Over Canals
Ground to break this fall, providing proof of concept for University of California academic study; energy storage to be incorporated
Solis Helps Beijing Achieve the First "Carbon-Neutral Winter Olympics"
The installed capacity of this project is 128kW, with an annual power generation of 140,000 kWh. The green energy generated by the solar roof can offset about 90 tons of carbon dioxide each year.
IGS to deliver vertical farming solution supporting first solar-powered commercial scale farm in Perth, Australia
The four-tower industrial scale farm will be the centrepiece of the site. It will generate 120 tonnes of produce per annum when it is fully operational next year - including lettuce, spinach, kale and basil, as well as the indigenous crops.
NUS research team sets new efficiency record for solar cell technology
Their solar cells made using perovskite and organic materials achieve a power conversion efficiency of 23.6%, approaching that of conventional silicon solar cells
State-of-the-Art Solar Training Centre in Ghana handed over
