President Biden's Action Saves Solar Jobs, Invests in American Solar Manufacturing
Following is a statement by Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association:
Major infrared breakthrough could lead to solar power at night
Researchers within the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney have successfully tested a device capable of converting infrared heat into electrical power.
Agrivoltaics: The New Frontier
The pairing of photovoltaics and agriculture is something that must be further explored, including more supportive legislation and regulations allowing for this dual use of land.
Rooftop Solar's Unspoken Truth: Fires and Safety Risks are Uncomfortably Common
Due to inconsistent installation practices, intense manufacturer competition, and sometimes conflicting motives between Operations and Maintenance (O&M) providers and end-owners, the risk of fires looming on rooftop installations is uncomfortably common.
NREL Creates Highest Efficiency 1-Sun Solar Cell
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created a solar cell with a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination. This is the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured using standard 1-sun conditions.
Making Solar an Even Safer Investment
As more businesses, utilities, and state bodies look to solar energy to help them meet their carbon reduction goals and cut energy costs, safety is coming under ever more scrutiny.
A Tiny Plexiglass House Featuring RT-MINI Closes Deals on the Spot
"I wanted my customers to see the product up close for themselves, not just view an iPad demo," he said. "So, I built a tiny house using plexiglass and mounted RT-MINI II on the roof."
PVEL Reveals Top Performing Manufacturers in 2022 PV Module Reliability Scorecard
PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), the leading independent test lab for the downstream solar and energy storage industry published its 2022 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, which names 122 model types of PV modules from 25 manufacturers as Top Performers in PVEL's testing.
Custom Installation Creates Net Zero SoCal Home
This project, like most, came with its share of challenges and requests from a discerning homeowner who wanted top quality. The ask: plan and install a solar system to handle the high electricity needs of this large home with a customized design and clean aesthetics.
The Future of Distributed Wind in the United States: Considerations for Unlocking Terawatt-Level Potential
NREL's Distributed Wind Energy Futures Study Finds the Most Promising Locations, Sectors for Distributed Wind To Play a Meaningful Role in the U.S. Energy Future
On-time Foundation Installation on Flood-prone and High Slope Site
When assessing the site, the installation team noticed some challenges that would make foundation installation difficult-a 21% north and south slope, rocky terrain, and drainage swales.
Case Study - Outfitting an Off-Grid Canvas Geodesic Dome - Part 1
The setup would consist of a 24ft canvas geodesic dome, an outdoor kitchen, a separate enclosed bathroom, and a utility trailer with solar panels mounted on the roof and all the required electrical inside.
NREL Scientists Advance Renewable Hydrogen Production Method
Perovskite materials may hold the potential to play an important role in a process to produce hydrogen in a renewable manner, according to an analysis from scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
California ISO hits all-time peak of more than 97% renewables
The peak, which occurred briefly at 3:39 p.m., broke the previous record of 96.4 percent set on March 27, 2022. The new milestone comes as the ISO integrates growing amounts of renewable energy onto the grid in support of the state's clean energy goals.
Stone Coated Steel Roofs - the Hidden Goldrush
There's a goldmine of solar installations out there waiting to be claimed. Adaptable teams could take advantage of the gap in the market and open an entirely new line of income for their businesses if they only looked a bit further than they are currently.
