Image via Warren Entsch MP A feasibility study for a proposed solar-based microgrid project in Queensland’s Daintree region will be completed and delivered on time says Federal Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch. The project area has no mains electricity supply. Residents use diesel generators or solar power and battery storage – or a combination of both. […]
Ginlong Technologies sent word that its residential energy storage inverter is now available to U.S. installers. The Smart Home Solis Solution incorporates single-phase string technology into an intelligent hybrid platform to support maximum self-consumption, safely and reliably. /*** Advertisement ***/ “Designed for flexibility and performance, our new hybrid storage inverter brings industry-defining efficiency to solar-plus-storage […]
A flexible solar “skin” that could be used to generate power on homes, cars and phones is a step closer to development after the technology was used to break a world record for electricity conversion, researchers say. Engineers at the University of Queensland have been working with nanoparticles known as quantum dots that pass electrons […]
A new study reveals good news for the possibility of using perovskite materials in next-generation solar cells. The study, published in the journal Acta Materialia, finds that though perovskite films tend to crack easily, those cracks are easily healed with some compression or a little bit of heat. That bodes well, the researchers say, for […]
Contrary to theoretical predictions, oxygen inactivates biocatalysts for energy conversion within a short time, even under a protective film. A research team of the Resolv Cluster of Excellence at Ruhr Universitat Bochum (RUB) has found out why: Hydrogen peroxide forms on the protective film. The addition of iodide salts to the electrolyte can prevent this […]

For many families, solar can seem beyond reach because of upfront costs, home prices, or language barriers. To overcome these obstacles over the summer of 2019, Spark Northwest and Homestead Community Land Trust launched Solarize the Land Trust, holding workshops in King County, Wash. Here, homeowners could learn about solar, financing and the Solarize opportunity from a […]
