Meet the startups changing the future of energy
Bonnie Christian for Wired: At this years WIRED Energy conference, some of the sector's most innovative early-stage companies pitched their ideas.
Lamborghini's New Concept Electric Car is Energy Storage On Wheels
Dom Galeon for Futurism: Together with MIT, Italian carmaker Lamborghini developed a new electric supercar that can also store energy. With supercapacitors instead of batteries, the Terzo Millennio is able to carry more power, which it can store in its carbon fiber body.
This weird $9 trick increases solar panel efficiency 5-17%
John Fitzgerald Weaver for electrek: Instead of perfectly spacing those 60 out - with small, defined areas between the cells - the company has allowed the solar cells borders to overlap each other while increasing the cell count to 68.
Robotics principles help wave energy converters better absorb power of ocean waves
Phys.org: "We are working to create methodologies and technologies that private companies can harness to create wave energy devices that will enable them to sell power to the U.S. grid at a competitive price,"
New fractal-like concentrating solar power receivers are better at absorbing sunlight
Kristen Meub for Phys.org: India is interested in developing 1 megawatt or smaller CSP facilities that could provide the appropriate amount of power for a small village or community.
Why can't every object in your home be a solar power generator?
Sian Bradley for Wired: "Tables are this big empty space, a surface that's not being used a lot. I saw their potential to be an independent power source, wherever you want to have it,"
Possible tariff on imported solar panels makes the industry nervous
Keith Schneider for The Los Angeles Times: The trade commissions decision will be transmitted to President Trump on Nov. 13. Whatever the outcome, the tariff case has riven the $30-billion U.S. solar sector.
Saudi Arabia Just Made Plans To Build Mega Metropolis Powered Entirely By Renewables
Brian Spaen for GreenMatters: Visions include the sun powering large landscapes of solar panels, and the electrical grid will also be powered by wind turbines. All of this is, along with "whole new kinds of energy the world has yet to hear of," is expected to power the gigantic metropolis.
Leveraging Bitcoin & Blockchain For 'Solar Power' Sun Exchange Scores $1.6M From U.S. Investors
Roger Aitken for Forbes: Members of the market place can have their solar cells installed and rented to hospitals, factories, schools and rural communities in Africa and the Middle East, earning them income from solar powering the developing world.
Solar Panels Might Get More Efficient Thanks to a Butterfly
Avery Thompson for Popular Mechanics: By imitating the microscopic structure of a butterfly wing, a group of researchers designed a more efficient solar cell.
Industrializing Offshore Wind Energy Development
University of Delaware: UD-led research team determines that constructing offshore wind turbines in port is the most cost effective method
Solar farm in a box - 500 homes worth of solar power in a standardized kit
John Fitzgerald Weaver for Electrek: Their goal in designing the Solar Block is to lower the cost and speed the deployment of utility-scale solar power. The units can be daisy chained into larger plants.
The U.S. solar industry's new growth region: Trump country
Nichola Groom for Reuters: The 10 fastest-growing U.S. solar markets between the second quarters of 2016 and 2017 were Western, Midwestern or Southern states that voted for Trump.
Offshore wind farms have powerful advantage over land-based turbines, study finds
Eli Kintisch for Science: Floating wind turbines at sea could create up to three times as much electricity as turbines on land, increasing the energy potential for a technology that has yet to be proven at scale.
Solar-Powered Cars Compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge
Justin Hughes for The Drive: The 30th anniversary of the solar car race shows how far technology has progressed since its inception.
