A new material can store solar energy and store it for years
Lancaster University almost accidentally discovers a material that could accumulate solar energy and store it for months. Maybe years.
Oasys, a solar-powered oasis to cool off Abu Dhabi
Oasys is the concept of a solar-powered urban oasis for Abu Dhabi. It can connect the urban fabric in a green way (literally), and freshen the air
Sunox Screecher: solar-powered personal mobility
Sunox Screecher is a solar-powered personal mobility device that combines pedal and photovoltaics.
SolarStratos, fly into space only with solar energy
An ambitious project: take a plane into the stratosphere using only solar energy. SolarStratos really believes it.
Solar energy in China now costs less than the electricity grid
The political efforts made, including cuts to new coal power plants and the closure of mines, are bearing the expected results: solar energy in China costs less and less.
Solar energy and clean water from the same device
While capturing and filtering steam and condensation, producing clean water, the device also captures and conserves solar energy. A revolution for everyone.
The solar-powered plane: the future of transportation?
The first solar-powered plane made its first flight and landed without any problems. At 8am yesterday, April 45, Italian time, San Francisco airport welcomed solar pioneer Bertrand Piccard, who flew aboard Solar Impulse, the first solar-powered plane, crossing the Pacific Ocean in three days. With the first solar journey, we want to give an impetus to the global community to accelerate the transition to solar energy. Solar Impulse left Abu Dhabi… Read more
Solar glass arrives: the future lies in windows that collect energy
The solar glass developed by ClearVue PV could seriously play its part, integrating perfectly into modern architecture.
SolarisFloat, the solar island that follows the sun to maximize energy
Sailing on a lake and coming across an island of solar panels dancing with the sun might seem like a scene from a science fiction movie: Portuguese startup SolarisFloat is working to make it a reality. This floating “island” is not only an engineering masterpiece, but represents a significant step forward in solar energy production. But how can an island of solar panels improve energy efficiency? And what benefits does it bring to our ecosystem? Let's find out together. SolarisFloat: innovation that floats In a world… Read more
Laser and solar: the innovation that illuminates the future of energy
A team at NREL has created a mini solar panel that turns laser light into energy. A small turning point from the many possible applications
Space solar, energy sent to Earth with radio waves: they did it
You don't need a cable to receive energy from space: at Caltech they have demonstrated that it is possible, transmitting energy to Earth with radio waves.
Earth Mount Solar, new solar method: more energy with panels on the ground
Erthos, an American startup, has developed a new method of installing solar systems directly on the ground: it promises great benefits.
Solar pavement, energy to step on and walk through. 3 yes and 3 no.
Integrating solar panels in the pavement: more and more photovoltaics of this type are being produced, both for urban and private areas. What do you think?
Windbox: a “magic box” that combines wind and solar energy
A "box" incorporating a turbine covered with solar panels obtains excellent results from the first systems installed
Solar, among the cleanest energy sources in the world: but it can get better.
Someone turns up their nose when it comes to energy sources and photovoltaics comes up: "yes, but it pollutes too". Sure, but there is a chasm.
Sun Rock, 'solar mountain' with 1 million kWh of clean energy per year
A real "solar mountain" capable of providing for its energy needs on its own, and capable of generating (for now) 1 million kilowatt hours of clean energy every year.
mySUN: human and solar energy for a renewable solution
A system that combines wind, solar and… kinetic to store renewable energy. A dove's egg that can revolutionize construction.
Photovoltaic solar continues to amaze: the cheapest energy in the world
Solar photovoltaics, undervalued in the forecasts of the best world analysts, is shattering all records. How did he do? I'll tell you everything.
2030: 100% solar, wind and battery storage energy is just the beginning
A new report from RethinkX analyzes the impact of an economy based entirely on renewables and SWB storage systems. In 10 years it would produce an unprecedented revolution.
'Solar petrol' stores energy from the sun for 18 years
One of the most important alternative sources of energy is photovoltaic. Solar energy, growing everywhere (especially in China), is available in abundance and 100% renewable. The problem that has always plagued solar energy researchers is not its availability and renewability, but the possibility of storing it for a long time in a battery. This has until now prevented it from being used for long-term solutions. A research team from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden… Read more
