Sustainable Construction in 2025 Will Include These 8 Innovations in Alternative Energy
While solar and wind energy are prominent options, other emerging technologies will impact the sector in 2025 and beyond. Sand batteries and FCEVs are only some options in store for professionals.
Space Solar and Transition Labs to deliver space-based solar power to Iceland by 2030
Space Solar's first plant, set to be operational by 2030 with an initial capacity of 30 MW, marks a groundbreaking step in the global transition to sustainable energy, with this partnership poised to accelerate the shift toward Net Zero.
Are Solar Batteries Worth It?
In this article, we'll explore how solar batteries work, the financial benefits, costs, and other factors you should consider when building a solar system for your home.
Aptera's First Production-Intent Vehicle Successfully Completes First Function Test
This vehicle, the first in a series, has been engineered to rigorously test Aptera's production-intent design, production components, and critical performance metrics such as range, solar charging capability, and efficiency.
EDP tests construction of its first solar park with automation technology
This is the first time worldwide that the technological solution, based on robotics and advanced computing, developed by Comau, has been tested in real installation conditions in an EDP solar park.
Solar Panels Need to Be Pretty: Adding Color to Sustainable Buildings

One technology that can help achieve this is BIPV. BIPV are solar power generation systems designed to be embedded within the architecture of a building, unlike traditional solar panels which are retroactively fitted to an existing structure.
September's Sunny Skies Make Perfect Day for Solar Calibrations
From Sept. 21 to 27, groups of scientists and engineers from around the globe gathered at NREL's Solar Radiation Research Laboratory (SRRL) on the top of South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado, for the 24th NREL Pyrheliometer Comparisons (NPC).
Floating Photovoltaics: Solar Power's New Frontier
A UK-based study (published in June 2024) found that many countries, mainly from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and Central Asia, could potentially meet between 40% and 70% of their annual electricity demand through FPV.
Ameresco to Revolutionise Stadium Sustainability with Innovative Thin Film PV Solution for London Stadium
£3.5 million contract to lead to a 6,500 square-meter solar installation with close to 1 million kWh of clean energy generated annually.
Powering the Future: Residential Solar Energy Storage Market Set to Surpass USD 205.4 Billion by 2032

Canada's first certified zero-carbon building, the evolv1 building in the University of Waterloo Research and Technology Park, is saving around $120,000 per year on energy costs. Project exemplifies that net-positive energy production can be achieved on a commercial basis.
Enabling Great British Energy - A zero-carbon grid requires specific technologies to ensure reliability
Starmer's government intends to invest £8.3 billion of funding into a new, publicly owned green power company as part of wider energy security and sustainability goals.
Sun-Ways solution turns the space between railroad tracks into removable solar power plants
By integrating photovoltaics into the railway ecosystem, we can directly power trains with renewable energy, but also power charging stations for electric vehicles, while reducing CO2 emissions and increasing the energy independence of an entire public transport system.
Insights from Data
Solar and storage plants aren't one machine; they're actually decentralized, interconnected ecosystems. Rows of solar panels capture sunlight and generate electricity, while BESS systems store that energy in rows of batteries packed together.
Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries
Because it doesn't need expensive energy storage for times without sunshine, the technology could provide communities with drinking water at low costs.
