Within 10 years, solar panels in orbit and clean energy on Earth.

Already heard it and does it sound like science fiction to you? According to the results of a 3-year study with 10 nations involved conducted by the International Academy of Astronautics, it could be a reality within 10 years. The biggest disadvantage of today's solar energy is that it doesn't work in the evening or when the sky is cloudy: in space, on the contrary, the Sun is present 24 hours a day, 24 days a week. No storms, no clouds. The obvious solution to the problem, therefore, is to move all PV capacity… Read more

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

Optivolt revolutionizes solar: efficient panels even in the shade

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
