Where clean energy intercepts with technology, the need to integrated advanced computing is the key to opening new opportunities. The endless journey to discovering a viable return on investment in renewable energy means ensuring absolute optimisation and the best possible method of deployment for all panels and systems. So how exactly can we achieve the […]
Costs of solar panels have plummeted over the last several years, leading to rates of solar installations far greater than most analysts had expected. But with most of the potential areas for cost savings already pushed to the extreme, further cost reductions are becoming more challenging to find. Now, researchers at MIT and at the […]
A Washington State University team has developed a more efficient, safer, and cost-effective way to produce cadmium telluride (CdTe) material for solar cells or other applications, a discovery that could advance the solar industry and make it more competitive. The researchers showed they could rapidly grow a large amount of high-purity CdTe material – a […]
University of California, Berkeley, scientists have created a blue light-emitting diode (LED) from a trendy new semiconductor material, halide perovskite, overcoming a major barrier to employing these cheap, easy-to-make materials in electronic devices. In the process, however, the researchers discovered a fundamental property of halide perovskites that may prove a barrier to their widespread use […]
The UK must recruit more than 100,000 people to fill green energy roles within a decade if the government hopes to meet its binding climate targets, National Grid has warned. A report by the company found that Britain needs to fill 120,000 roles in the green energy industry by 2030 to help develop projects that […]
Energy Trust of Oregon has been working to update incentives and that will benefit businesses in communities across Oregon and Southwest Washington to maximize energy savings. Here are a few Existing Buildings program updates to keep in mind. K-12 Schools program update Energy Trust is working collaboratively with the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) to […]
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) believe thinner solar cells are the key to even cheaper solar panels and scaling up production. The cost of solar panels has dropped remarkably over the past decade due to uptake and technology advancements – and it seems there’s still plenty of […]
The National Wildlife Federation and its New Jersey affiliate, New Jersey Audubon Society, applauded Murphy’s leadership in seizing the immense clean energy and job creation opportunity of offshore wind power. GALLOWAY, N.J. (January 27, 2020) — The future of New Jersey’s offshore wind power industry just received a promising boost with the announcement of Governor […]
Image: BayWa r.e A meeting of Loddon Shire councillors this afternoon may decide the fate of a proposed BayWa r.e. solar energy project not far from Bendigo in Victoria. The Shire of Loddon is located in the northern part of Victoria, covering an area of 6,696 square kilometres and home to a population of around […]
Duke Energy Florida (DEF) announced the locations of its two newest solar power plants which will provide clean energy solutions to its Florida customers. The Twin Rivers Solar Power Plant will be built on 460 acres in Hamilton County. Once operational, the 74.9-MW facility will consist of approximately 235,000 tracking solar panels, enough electricity to […]
