March 16, 2022 – Researcher Technician Josh Parker checks wiring connections on small Perovskite Accelerator for Command Technologies (PACT) solar panels at the Outdoor Test Facility (OTF) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). (Photo by Werner Slocum / NREL) Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show great potential due to their high performance and low production costs compared to silicon-based cells, but stability and durability remain challenges. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, new research examined PSC degradation under outdoor sunlight versus LEDs. A hybrid polymer material improved UV stability…

A project eight years in the making to generate clean solar power underneath the sunny, wide-open skies of Box Elder County is now fully operational. A contingent of investors, managers, customers and construction workers gathered in late May at the site of the Steel Solar project in Plymouth, where approximately 250,000 solar panels are now working to generate 80 megawatts of clean energy for sale to communities all over Utah and several other western states.

North Carolinians concerned about climate change should know that Duke Energy is moving toward land confiscations in the state’s southeast on an “aggressive timeline.” The utility is poised to use solar projects in “red zones” as a pretext to build lucrative transmission projects, the land corridors of which would be cleared with eminent domain. Rural communities must be protected from this Duke Energy profit grab for moral and political reasons. Image credit: NC WARN Duke Energy only wants one kind of solar — huge fields of panels in southeastern North…

KING WILLIAM — King William County has drawn up a revised ordinance to help planners regulate the development of future solar farms. The amended ordinance says solar facilities should not occupy more than 1,000 acres of land and that no more than 3% of the county’s land mass should be approved for large-scale solar energy facilities. Under existing codes, a solar facility can be as large as 1,500 acres. The county’s planning commission discussed changes to the solar facilities ordinance favored by the King William Board of Supervisors on July…

The 55kW system is expected to produce more than .06 MWh a year and will help keep the vineyard’s distillery storage warehouse at the optimal temperature of 50 to 60 F throughout the year. July 8, 2024 Anne Fischer Truro Vineyards, a family-owned winery on Cape Cod, partnered with Sunbug Solar, which is now a part of ReVision Energy, to install more than 160 Q.PEAK solar panels from Qcells on the rooftop of the 4,000 square foot warehouse. The 55kW system includes Aire System racking from IronRidge and a SolarEdge…

Experts have begun to talk about the “end of all fuels,” and hydrogen is in serious danger. What has happened? We have just learned about a much better energy source for the vehicles of the future, and one of them has begun to circle the Earth without gasoline, electricity, gas, or hydrogen (or methanol or ammonia). How did it do it? Simply, with the Sun, and already known to stay at 39,000 feet of altitude, a milestone never achieved by mankind and that has passed through America on several occasions.…

Are solar panels worth it? Associated Press: Grant Goodrich, executive director of the university’s Great Lakes Energy Institute, described the steps homeowners need to take before installing solar panels. “If you are planning to replace your shingles in the next 10 years or anticipate needing to make some roof repairs in the near future, you’ll want to complete those before having solar installed,” he said.
