Courtesy of its official Amazon storefront, Goal Zero is offering its Yeti 6000X Portable Power Station for $2,499 shipped. Normally fetching $5,000 as of late, it ended 2023 dropping from its original $6,000 MSRP to its current list price, which it has mainly kept to for the last six months. We’ve seen a few discounts pop up every few months, the first being to $3,500 in January, followed by a drop further to $3,000 in February, which has since repeated every so often, never falling further. Today’s deal, however, comes…

Indiana’s largest solar project is connecting to the grid in Starke and Pulaski counties. Starting this month, the 400-megawatt project will provide sustainable energy to 75,000 households. It’s called the Mammoth Solar Project. It’s a partnership between Indiana and Israeli-based Doral Renewables LLC. Their plan is to bring approximately $1.5 billion into Indiana over the next five years. Starke and Pulaski counties were selected because two electric grid systems intersect there, which leaders say makes it an ideal fit for power distribution. The plan is for the project to be…

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Nevada State Contractors Board is continuing to warn the public about scams and how consumers can protect themselves when purchasing solar panels, swimming pools, or finding contractors for home repair projects. On Tuesday, July 30, they will host a free tele-town hall, which is open to the public. “[Those] are big investments and residents need to make sure that they approach these purchases in a way that protects their pocketbooks and gets them exactly what they paid for,” said Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick. The…

Dertoit’s solar plan would build solar arrays in neighborhoods similar to the DTE O’Shea Solar Park located at Greenfield Road and Capitol Avenue, just south of Interstate 96.

I listened to the Jefferson County meetings and the Shepherdstown Town Hall meeting [addressing industrial solar energy facilities in the county]. I am very glad that I can divide my time between our farms and South Florida. Florida is more friendly because you know where you stand. The left shift that has occurred in Jefferson County astounds me. Everyone speaks of the county’s beauty, but the underlined vibe is far from that beauty. Instead of building, our family looked for a different way to farm and contribute to the county. During…

Researchers and labs are constantly advancing medical science. The noble cause of helping others to heal and feel better has improved greatly over the past hundred years. One health care company with several Arkansas branches is helping in a different way, however, and it’s going to help the chain of hospitals become more sustainable and self-sufficient along the way. Unity Health is partnering with Bernhard to update existing equipment and install an array of Earth Mount solar panels that will produce power for its rural hospitals and lead to greater…

A research team at the University of Kansas found that organic semiconductors known as non-fullerene acceptors demonstrate a high solar cell efficiency due to a reversed heat flow. July 10, 2024 Ryan Kennedy 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 worldwide are actively testing alternative materials to silicon for manufacturing solar cells. While silicon offers strong efficiency and durability,…
