Critical Skills the Next Generation of Engineers Must Develop
Transitioning from hands-on engineering roles in the field to strategic leadership, I’ve learned that the importance of communication in making complex technical concepts easily understandable and actionable for teams is essential for building alignment and driving growth.
How Can the Early History of Alternative Energy Inform Future Innovations?
Understanding this history enables today’s innovators to view alternative energy as a continuation of long-standing ideas that were once limited by economic and technological constraints rather than vision.
The Evolution of Commercial Solar: Lessons from Discontinued Solar Brands
As countries move toward decarbonization and grow the share of renewable energy in the total energy mix, the commercial solar panel sector has seen both meteoric rises and sudden declines among its most prominent brands.
Preventing Vermin Damage and Other Solar Hazards
Here’s a little-known fact about residential and commercial solar systems: wildlife damage is a real problem. Wildlife can affect system efficiency, lifespan, and create safety risks for both homeowners and business owners. The solution? Proactive prevention.
Scaling Laboratory Solar Cell Research with High-Purity Boron Nitride Crucibles
As laboratories move from proof-of-concept cells to reproducible high-efficiency prototypes, every component in the processing line must preserve purity, chemical stability, and reproducibility. This is where Boron Nitride (BN) Crucibles have become indispensable.
What’s Slowing Down Solar Deployment in Europe and How to Fix It
This paper analyzes this slowdown through a dual lens: first, the well-researched systemic barriers of market design, grid limitations, and policy friction & the critically under-examined operational and delivery bottlenecks within the industry's project execution model.
Why Compliance Documentation Matters in Electronic Recycling
Partner with the wrong ITAD and e-waste provider, and your business faces lawsuits and damage to your reputation. It’s beneficial to be very selective about who handles your e-waste.
