SCALE-UP OF SOLAR AND WIND PUTS EXISTING COAL, GAS AT RISK
Solar, wind and batteries see dramatic gains in competitiveness over the last six months compared to longer-established energy options
What is the Cheapest Form of Energy?
Cheap renewable energy and low-priced batteries are anticipated to lead to wind and solar producing 50 percent of the world's electricity generation by 2050.
Installation Speed: the Murky Cost Creep of Commercial Solar
Industry suppliers tend to throw around a lot of different labor metrics. What do they actually mean? How do variations in modules-per-day or modules-per-hour impact your bottom line? And-a primary concern-will a given supplier stand behind their claims?
Automatic Charging of EVs
Charging stations can be an eyesore in inner cities, and the bulky cables and plugs can also be an inconvenience in people's garages. Contactless inductive charging with coils embedded in the garage floor or the road surface has none of these visual or mechanical annoyances.
How Blockchain and Other Online Innovations Help Alternative Energy
The Blockchain promises to deliver a decentralized energy system that can seamlessly incorporate the large companies providing energy to millions, the small businesses hoping to get into the market, and the individual user with excess energy to sell off.
Wind and Solar Call for PTC & ITC Safe Harbor Due to Coronavirus
Supply chain disruptions and other issues related to the pandemic have manufacturers and green energy companies worried their projects in development won't be able to benefit from tax credits set to expire at the end of this year.
NRL power-beaming demonstrated on International Space Station
Meir showed how NRL's LEctenna™, a light-emitting rectifying antenna, converted a wireless network signal, similar to home networks, into electric power. While the current generated and light emitted was a small amount, the setup proved the concept in space.
Wind is now America's largest renewable energy provider and the top choice for new utility-scale power
Annual market report shows wind industry topped 100 GW, employed 120,000 Americans, invested $14 billion in new projects, and provided $1.6 billion in local payments to communities and landowners last year.
Tigo's Integrated Optimizers in Residential Solar
With Tigo's TS4-A-O (Optimization Add-ons) units, the system complies with California's mandated NEC 2017 rapid shutdown requirements. This customer also has module-level monitoring with full visibility into his system via Tigo SMART Website & App.
How the Renewable Energy Market Is Being Impacted by COVID-19
The success of the sustainable energy industry is challenging to determine at this time. While it has some of the same obstacles to overcome as other industries, there are also some promising signs.
NREL Six-Junction Solar Cell Sets Two World Records for Efficiency
The six-junction solar cell now holds the world record for the highest solar conversion efficiency at 47.1%, which was measured under concentrated illumination. A variation of the same cell also set the efficiency record under one-sun illumination at 39.2%.
Switchgear Protection Solutions and Efficient Energy Management
If certain activities result in changes to the load, companies end up bearing huge losses because of failure of system or damage to expensive equipment. Therefore, the entire power system must be protected using a switchgear system.
SOLAR 20/20: Renewable Energy Vision Goes Virtual
After much deliberation, the NOC has ultimately decided to convert the live event in Washington D.C. to a virtual conference in order to ensure the safety and health of our attendees, speakers, and sponsors.
Wire Management: Materials, New Module Geometries and the NEC
The trends with the biggest impact that we are seeing all revolve around the design of module frames. There are a number of module manufacturers who have reduced the length of the flange found on the underside of a typical module frame.
ZERO-PLUS Project: Building the residential settlements of the future
The ZERO-PLUS project has developed and implemented a comprehensive and cost effective system composed of innovative solutions for the building envelope, for building energy generation and for energy management at the settlement level.
