The University of Warwick will be at the forefront of research into fast-charging batteries and solar power thanks to a £1.4 million grant. Dr Michael Hope from Warwick’s Department of Chemistry is the recipient of the new grant, which will investigate more efficient and durable materials in sustainability devices, such as solar panels. The aim of Dr Hope’s research is to find ways to drive the transition to clean, renewable energy through cheaper and more efficient ways of harnessing and storing energy. This is limited by the properties of current…

Suwannee County is now home to a new solar panel site that is split by Interstate 10. The site will add nearly 75 megawatts of energy to the Florida power grid. Read the story below to see why the town of Falmouth was chosen for the site and where solar energy lies in the makeup of Florida energy sources. BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT: Over 220,000 solar panels are now online in Suwannee County. You may notice them while driving on I-10. I’m First To Know Meteorologist Riley Winch here to let you…

The Israeli renewable energy company SolarEdge announced on Monday that it is laying off 400 employees, approximately 8.5% of its workforce. This will be the company’s second round of layoffs this year; in January, it laid off 900 workers, approximately 16% of its team at the time, including 550 in Israel. Around 200 employees based in Israel are set to be laid off this time around. Following the latest cutbacks, SolarEdge will remain with around 4,300 employees. These layoffs are an attempt to overcome a crisis the company has faced…

These projects can be delivered entirely off-grid, decreasing the strain that could occur. Anotcritical key component is that the project does not need an off-site water supply. Instead, it opts to use atmospheric water, which nullifies the water scarcity factor when considering developing the 10GW green hydrogen projects. Although currently in early-stage plans, the projects would be the “largest green hydrogen projects developed in Australia to date”, CIC said. According to a statement released by the company, CIC has been considering developing a 10GW renewable hydrogen project in South Australia…

La Nucia City Council invested €44, 315 into the installation of solar energy panels on the roof of the Caravan Library, making it the 11th public building with solar panels. The investment was made possible by the subsidy from IVACE (Valencian Institute of Business Competitiveness)  of the Generalitat Valenciana. The photovoltaic installation joined La Nucia´s Youth Centre, Police station, heated swimming pool, Muixara school, Social Centre Calvari, Pabellon, Almacen Municipal, Auditorium, Centro de Especialidades and edificio de Urbanismo in having solar energy panels in place. 64 solar panels were installed…

Solar energy company Nordic Solar, which operates in 12 European countries, has landed a financing agreement for one of its solar projects on the Danish island of Funen. Nordic Solar has signed a credit agreement with Jyske Bank for an unspecified three-digit million DKK amount, valid for 20 years. The agreement covers Nordic Solar’s Højby project, which was connected to the grid in the summer of 2023. The plant is today a fully operational renewable energy plant of 32 MW, which is roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of 11,000…

A research team at the University of Kansas have found that organic semiconductors known as non-fullerene acceptors demonstrate a high solar cell efficiency due to a reversed heat flow. July 15, 2024 Ryan Kennedy From pv magazine USA A team of researchers at the University of Kansas have studied a counterintuitive effect in organic semiconductors that may lead to solar cell efficiencies competitive with traditional silicon solar panels. The research is published in Advanced Materials. Researchers throughout the world are actively testing alternative materials to silicon for manufacturing solar cells.…
