ALLPOWERS has joined its competitors with its own Prime Day sale running through July 25, taking up to 50% off its power stations, solar generator bundles, and accessories – with extra opportunities for additional savings on larger orders. One particular offer that caught our eye is the R1500 Portable Power Station bundled with a 600W solar panel for $1,059 shipped. Regularly $2,099, this particular combo package has seen very few discounts over the last year, with the biggest of them being a short-lived fall to the $999 low at the…

Installing solar panels over fish farms can help boost seafood harvests by 50% while generating huge amounts of pollution-free electricity, according to a new study out of China. As the World Resources Institute detailed, this is an exciting example of how solar energy can help us create a cleaner, healthier future that benefits both people and the planet. The study looked at an aquaculture site near the mouth of the Yellow River in China’s Shandong Province. In 2021, solar panels were installed several meters above the water to generate clean…

Gavica/Cronkite News WASHINGTON – For 31 straight days last summer, temperatures in Phoenix hit or topped 110 degrees, the longest such streak ever. That searing Arizona heat dehydrates crops and evaporates water the state needs to conserve. Creating shade is one way to combat the problem. By using solar panels, farmers can simultaneously protect their plants, save water, and lower their…

French utility EDF on Monday inaugurated the 480-MW CEME1 solar farm in Chile’s Atacama Desert, and announced that is has a co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the works. The mega-plant, consisting of 882,000 solar panels covering 435 hectares (1,075 acres) of land in the middle of the desert, is Chile’s largest solar farm so far. It was built by EDF’s Chile-based joint venture (JV) Generadora Metropolitana, set up in partnership with Chilean energy company AME. PowerChina served as the construction contractor. Generadora Metropolitana started energising the solar…

In full boom of solar panels, appears on the market a photovoltaic flower that you can have in your garden. It produces up to 6,200 kWh. We are still talking about the furor caused by the wind turbine without blades that produces electricity. It left conventional solar panels shivering, a context that is being repeated with this highly efficient and aesthetic model. Solar energy has become one of the most efficient and relevant energy sources in recent years. With climate change and the need to lower greenhouse gas emissions, solar…
