Clean Power Published on February 12th, 2020 | by Steve Hanley February 12th, 2020 by Steve Hanley In a series of tweets this week, Elon Musk said Tesla is ramping up the installation of its third-generation solar roof — called Solarglass Roof — in the San Francisco Bay Area, and it expects to announce availability […]
In January, authors from several institutions under the aegis of BiS, published The Green Swan[1] Central banking and financial stability in the age of climate change setting out their take on the epistemological foundations for, and obstacles against, central banks acting to mitigate climate change risk. The book’s early chapters provide a cogent and up-to-date analysis of climate change’s profound and irreversible impacts on ecosystems and society. The authors are critical of overly simplistic solutions such as relying on just carbon taxes. They also recognize the […]
How do you explain a prime minister who says he accepts the science of climate change, acknowledges the link between it and the devastating bushfires, and then chooses to do nothing about it? Morrison insists Australia is doing more than most, which is patently not true; that emissions are falling, when that is only the […]
Image: stevepb Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions stabilised last year according to the International Energy Agency. The IEA hopes it’s not just another pause in growth. The IEA reports energy-related emissions flattened at approximately 33 gigatonnes in 2019 following two years of increases, primarily due to declines from electricity generation in advanced economies1. This was […]
As the human toll from the novel coronavirus climbs, so too has the impact on manufacturing – including solar component supplies. More than 60% of the world’s solar panels are manufactured in China1, so any widespread interruption there can have significant knock-on effects over here. Events such as recent holidays in China are planned for […]
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the 20 competitors that have been invited to advance to the next phase of the American-Made Solar Prize Round 3, a competition designed to incentivize the nation’s entrepreneurs to strengthen American leadership in solar energy innovation and domestic manufacturing. The American-Made Solar Prize is designed to help […]
Deadly “day-night hot extremes” are increasing across the northern hemisphere due to climate change, a new study finds. And the number of people exposed to such events, also known as “compound hot extremes”, is likely to increase “several-fold” as temperatures continue to climb in the coming decades, the study authors tell Carbon Brief. If global […]

Researchers from three Japanese universities have developed a process based on inkjet printing they say could reduce the cost of perovskite solar cell production. The group fabricated small cells with efficiencies as high as 13.19%, a figure they claim is promising enough to offer the possibility of scaling up to commercial production.
