In #France, to be precise in Normandy, the first kilometer of solar #road was inaugurated this morning. This is a truly unique case in the world. The French Environment Minister, Segolene Royal, personally traveled this first stretch of photovoltaic road and announced the government's willingness to build roads of this type in other areas of the country. The solar road is the result of a new technology, but very expensive: in fact, 5 million euros are needed for one kilometre, costs... Read more

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
Solar energy, long celebrated as the ecological answer to our planet's energy problems, unfortunately still has several weaknesses. One among all? Its efficiency decreases dramatically in shade. What if we could overcome this obstacle? The American startup Optivolt has announced the development of a technology that can change the photovoltaic landscape, ensuring optimal performance even when the sun plays hide and seek. A head-to-head challenge The problem is clear: a shadow that covers only 1% of… Read more
