How Efficient Are Tracking Solar Panels?
There are a few different types of solar panel motors and designs. To power the tracking of a farm of solar panels there are two main options: a central drive system featuring one tracking motor that powers multiple panels simultaneously.
Evaluating the Growth Trajectory for Electric Service Vehicle Adoption
The electric service vehicle market lags behind overall EV adoption. Vans and trucks accounted for just 1% of EV sales in 2020, raising the total to 400,000 globally.
Solar Panel Cleaning and the Importance of Preventative Maintenance
There are several challenges, mainly due to the area where the cleaning is needed. For example, in Saudi Arabia, there are a lot of sandstorms. Therefore, the panels need to be dry cleaned almost every day.
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.
All-in-One Energy Storage System
When solar or shore power is available, the solar inverter charger can use the solar or shore power to charge the lithium iron phosphate batteries and keep the batteries topped off.
Beyond Fossil Carbon? Green Electricity Is Opening Doors to Low-Emission Alternatives for Making Fuels and Chemicals
With Extensive Data, Broad Analyses, and Detailed Models, NREL Scientists and Collaborators Stake the Boundaries of Producing Chemicals and Fuels From Carbon Dioxide, Biomass, and Renewable Electricity
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.
Understanding the Chemistries of Deep-Cycle Batteries
Advancements in battery chemistry and design have allowed deep-cycle batteries to deliver longer cycle life and higher capacity and cycle-up to full rated capacity faster than previous designs.
How Solar Drives the American Economy
The U.S. solar industry employs more than 230,000 workers, as of 2020, at more than 10,000 companies across every state. Imagine the possibilities, much like business leaders around the world are imagining today.
Innovations In End of Life Solar Panel Disposal & Recycling
Estimates are that approximately 8 million metric tons of solar panels will reach their end-of-life in the next nine years. That amount will increase to 80 million within 30 years. Where will they all go?
Can the Salton Sea geothermal field prevent the coming lithium shortage?
University of California, Riverside scientists will join a first-of-its-kind effort to map out California's so-called "Lithium Valley," and learn whether it can meet America's urgent demand for lithium in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way.
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.
A Trip to the Swiss Village Where the World Calibrates Its Solar Monitoring Instruments
Measuring the energy of the sun precisely is not as easy as tracking distances or weight. To set an international standard for solar monitoring instruments radiometers, the World Radiation Centre holds comparison events that result in the World Radiometric Reference.
