They do an amazing job (I think) at warming up and letting that snow slide right off. One thing I didn’t really expect was how shocking the avalanches are! […]

Charged via rooftop solar panels, the cells form a network that provides a building with backup electricity and that utilities can tap during peak periods.

The first space hurricane ever was spotted in August 2014, consisting of “an eddy of plasma, a type of superhot, charged gas found throughout the solar system,” reports Business Insider. “And instead of rain, this storm brought showers of electrons.” From the report: In August 2014, satellites observed a swirling mass with a quiet center […]

ReVision co-founder Fortunat Mueller and Insource Renewables CEO Vaughan Woodruff stood with Gov. Janet Mills as she signed the policy overturning “Gross Metering” rules in Maine. Union of two employee-owned companies accelerates solar transition With a goal of combining our strength to accelerate the regional transition to renewable energy combined with storage, ReVision Energy is […]

Manchester UK (SPX) Feb 18, 2021 Scientists at The University of Manchester have found a way to accelerate the uptake of solar technology, by increasing the environmental safety of perovskite solar cells. Perovskite solar cells have attracted interest because, unlike silicon solar cells, they can be mass produced through roll-to-roll processing. Additionally, they are light […]

Best Solar Lights There are many alternatives to power outdoor lights without having an electrical outlet installed in the yard. They involve using various types of solar garden lighting fixtures, battery operated lighting, Bluetooth operated lights, battery-powered outlet, wireless LED motion sensor lights, and real or LED candles. 💚List & Links 👇👇👇💚 1.

California-based Aptera Motors “is rolling out the first mass-produced solar car this year,” reports the Washington Post, after successfully crowdfunding a restart of their development effort: It’s a three-wheel, ultra-aerodynamic electric vehicle covered in 34 square feet of solar cells. The car is so efficient that, on a clear day, those cells alone could provide […]

Moscow, Russia (SPX) Feb 12, 2021 The research team of NUST MISIS has presented an improved structure of perovskite solar cells. Scientists have modified perovskite-based solar cells using MXenes – thin two-dimensional titanium carbides with high electrical conductivity. The MXenes-based modified cells showed superior performance, with power conversion efficiency exceeding 19% (the reference demonstrated 17%) […]
