California is doing what appears to be an inevitability for many places in the future, however is making a bit of history in the process. The state is all set to become the first ever to require solar panels on all newly built single-family houses, which once passed by California’s Energy Commission will go into […]
Read MoreWater is one of the most basic needs of life, yet billions of people around the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Although major shortages occur in developing nations, developed countries also face unanticipated water shortages, especially after natural disasters that can disrupt supplies without warning. But in a recent tech breakthrough, a […]
Read MoreNumerous advances in solar cells have made them very efficient. But they’re still pretty much useless in rainy weather. In a big breakthrough, a team of Chinese engineers has created a new hybrid solar panel that can generate energy even from raindrops. Now solar panels can harvest energy from the movement of raindrops on its […]
Read MoreTesla’s Supercharger network is expanding across the country but not without a cost. The company has quietly raised prices per kilowatt hour for using the fast-charging stations at an average increase for pay-per-use customers ranging from approximately 20 to 40 percent, according to Electrek. The price has actually doubled from 12 cents to 24 cents in Oregon […]
Read MoreA team of researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia has developed a device to generate electricity from the Earth by turning excess infrared radiation and waste heat through quantum tunneling. Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon that occurs when particles move through a barrier that should be impossible to move through, […]
Read MoreConsidering the many problems associated with air pollution and the fact of worldwide climate change, electric cars give us the hope of building a cleaner and greener future. However, present battery technology, which requires frequent time-consuming recharging, and the lack of well-distributed charging stations combine to make electric cars less preferable. But things are going […]
Read MoreGreenhouses have a variety of applications, but they consume a lot of energy to grow our food. Temperature, lighting, and other systems are powered by electricity. To remedy this, researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have developed new electricity-generating solar greenhouses that make use of the same energy that grows the plants. This […]
Read MoreElon Musk made good on his promise of delivering the world’s largest lithium-ion battery to South Australia. Now, regardless of what the wind is doing on a day-to-day basis, clean wind energy can be provided to the grid 24/7, thanks to the 100MW battery farm. The South Australian Government says the farm, which has enough […]
Read MoreGiven the pace at which the renewable energy sector is rising, it is believed that the fossil fuel industry’s days are numbered. Companies are spending billions of dollars in the solar industry and thousands of people are getting work in this area. There are three major hurdles for the solar industry: the costs involved, efficiency, […]
Read MoreScientists have discovered a powerful weapon in the fight against global warming. The world’s first negative emissions power plant has opened in Iceland. With the vital issue of global warming in mind, Iceland has gone beyond zero by developing a power plant that actually removes CO2 from the atmosphere. World’s first power plant that eliminates more CO2 than it produces Researchers at the Swiss […]
Read MorePuerto Rico is still suffering from the devastation that occurred as a result of Hurricane Maria. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk is doing his part in working to rebuild the country’s power grid, starting with Puerto Rico’s Hospital del Niño. Yesterday, Tesla tweeted out some of the progress the company has made utilizing its Powerwall batteries, […]
Read MoreThe International Trade Commission has determined that American companies are being negatively affected by importing cheap solar panels from overseas. It remains to be seen what the ruling means for the future of America’s $29 billion solar industry, which has taken off in recent years, but many in the space fear solar energy becoming more […]
Read MoreOur inefficient buildings consume more than 40 percent of the electricity generated across the globe. To generate electricity through a building’s architecture, Tesla created solar tiles last year. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K. have created an innovative type of glass block designed to collect solar power and […]
Read MoreOn Monday, millions of Americans put on their glasses (hopefully) and took in a rare total eclipse. While 14 states were in the dark for a couple of minutes as the moon covered the sun, the power grid in the United States was put to the test. This was especially true in California where roughly […]
Read MoreIKEA is more than merely a furniture company these days. In fact, the company is collaborating with solar firm Solarcentury in order to sell solar panels and home batteries to customers in the United Kingdom. The solar battery storage package starts at £3,000 (approximately $3,970 USD), and will work with existing solar panels, enabling IKEA […]
Read MoreA new solar power plant in Datong, China is the cutest and the most adorable solar farm in the world. Most solar farms align their solar arrays in rows and columns; however, this solar farm is shaped like a giant panda. This project not only aims at providing green energy but it is also part […]
Read MoreChina, which was one of the worst offenders in the area of carbon emissions, is now a world leader in the adoption of renewables. China is on the way to becoming “green superpower.” Now the world’s largest floating solar plant in the South Anhui Province of China is finally online and generating renewable energy. This […]
Read MoreAccording to scientists, the global potential of wave energy is more than 500 GW of renewable energy. Today, wave energy is being developed so that within a few decades it will represent 10% of global energy supply. The current global installed capacity of wind is 360 GW, and solar power is 150 GW. Huge WaveRollers: […]
Read MoreThe nation’s largest offshore wind farm, 30 miles southeast of Montauk Point, has secured approval from the Long Island Power Authority. “For all the environmental groups, this project is very exciting and we want to see it be a success story,” says Neal Lewis, executive director of the Sustainability Institute at Molloy College. Operated by […]
Read MoreIn an effort to make ‘green’ beer, the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is now using Tesla batteries, in conjunction with solar power and a microturbine generator in the company’s brewing process. In fact, Sierra Nevada has installed a 1MWh Tesla Powerpack battery system at its Chico, California facility, which draws power from an existing 10,751-panel, […]
