In a lecture room at the Electrical Engineering Department of the Papua New Guinea University of Technology in Lae, Morobe Province, participants of a three-week long ‘Renewable Energy’ Training stood in awe as the lecturer demonstrated how a smart electricity grid works. Read More
Oxford PV says it has set a new world record for most efficient solar panel, produced in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. The panel achieved a 25% conversion efficiency, an increase from the more typical 24% efficiency of Read More
Moreover, for six months of the year, the gold mine’s electricity demand will be met entirely by renewable energy. Currently, much of the gold mine’s electricity is supplied by three hydropower stations. According to Barrick Gold Corporation, the Kibali gold mine is Read More
Oxford PV’s technology combines a thin layer of perovskite, a synthetic solar conversion material, with mainstream silicon solar cells to create more powerful solar panels that can generate around 20 per cent more electricity than silicon-only cell technology. The latest Oxford PV Read More
Researchers in Spain have developed a new system that simultaneously produces PV power and disinfects wastewater. January 31, 2024 Lior Kahana Researchers from Spain’s University of Jaen have developed a novel technology for wastewater disinfection and the production of PV energy. The Read More
In 2023, around three-quarters of global renewable energy capacity additions came in the form of solar power, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that this energy source will continue to account for the lion’s share of new renewable energy capacity to Read More
Scientists in China have used computer simulations to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the adoption of residential PV. January 31, 2024 Lior Kahana Researchers from State Grid Corp. of China, the nation’s largest state-owned grid operator and power Read More
The average U.S. household spends about $1,747 annually on electricity, according to electricity cost and consumption data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Over 25 years, that adds up to $61,520 (assuming 2.45% annual inflation). You can easily lower (and sometimes even Read More
Due to seasonal changes, photovoltaic systems in some areas may remain idle for a long period of time. In order to improve the utilization efficiency and working hours of photovoltaic systems, this paper proposes a concept of a mobilized photovoltaic system which Read More
Sol Systems has announced a clean energy project aimed at benefiting the village of Croton-on-Hudson and broader ConEdison downstate N.Y. communities for which Columbia University will act as anchor tenant. The Croton-Harmon community solar carport and battery storage project, a 4 MW Read More
