The Role of Hydrogen and Iron in an Innovative Solution for Solar Energy Storage
Although solar energy currently available in many countries could meet a significant portion of electricity needs, certain challenges are associated with this energy source. Solar energy is not consistently available. For example, there is more of it during the summer…
Australia is Building the World’s Largest Solar Area
The world’s largest solar area project, named the Australia-Asia Power Link, will power three million households and is located in the Northern Territory of this continent. The project has already received the green light. It will cover an area of…
Giant Clams – Master Engineers of Solar Energy and Efficiency
It is well known that answers to many questions can often be found in nature. Have you ever heard that there are natural solar systems that can serve as examples of efficient use of sunlight? Recently, researchers from Yale University…
Germany: As Solar Capacity Grows, Equipment Production Declines
Germany is making significant progress in developing renewable energy sources. The German Federal Statistical Office—Statistisches Bundesamt—confirmed this by providing data on solar energy capacity. As reported, in April 2024, about 3.4 million solar systems were installed on rooftops and parcels…
First Net-Zero Academy to Train 100,000 Workers in the EU Solar Photovoltaic Value Chain
The Commission has launched the European Solar Academy, the first in a series of EU Academies to be set up under the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) to have in place the necessary skills along the net-zero technologies value chains. The…
Global Solar Installations Almost Double in 2023 But Leaves Emerging Economies in the Dark
2023’s new solar installations would cover more than half of India’s annual electricity needs or more than Brazil’s entire consumption. Compared to Europe, the annual installations would exceed the total yearly electricity consumption of Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Czechia, Austria,…
Can Floating Solar Power Plants Cover the Entire Energy Consumption of a Country?
Certain countries have huge potential when it comes to floating solar power plants, and new research shows that some of them could be entirely dependent on this energy source. Researchers from Bangor and Lancaster Universities and the UK’s Centre for…
