First Solar's new 3.5-GW factory in Alabama boosts U.S. solar manufacturing, creating 800 jobs and advancing its commitment to American-made energy solutions. Bright days ahead!

When Sony first commercially introduced lithium-ion batteries in 1991, the industry recognized their potential to revolutionize portable electronics. Ever since, there have been countless efforts to improve the technology, with many researchers focusing on energy density and longevity, in line with demand from emerging applications such as electric vehicles (EVs) and on-grid energy storage. Julian Jansen and Youmin Rong of IHS Markit discuss the effect of safety concerns on this rapidly growing global market.

Australia requires an enthusiastic long-term Renewable Energy (RE) Target policy to unlock future financial investments, according to Wood Mackenzie

What was a simple speculation for lengthy has now been confirmed by the Investment Minister of Indonesia, Bahlil Lahadalia. Based on reports, the construction could start by the end of this year.

Scientists from Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology as well as TNO (partner in Solliance) have actually made an integrated solar-assisted water-splitting system with a flow electrochemical cell and a monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell.

Laboratory breakthroughs in perovskite cell modern technology have been plenty, yet mass manufacture is a big deal indeed. Solar applications will explode worldwide if rates of flexible solar truly boil down to the degrees DaZheng has actually promised.

Most CleanTechnica readers are renewable energy advocates. Wind, solar, recovering energy from the water we boil to make our breakfast tea — anything and everything that makes zero emissions electricity without burning fossil fuels is welcome. But there is a dark side to the transition to renewables. Lots of people make their living working in the fossil fuel industry. If the renewable energy revolution is to be successful, those people must be able to transition to clean energy jobs

Australian power business Origin Energy has actually accepted obtain a 20% risk in UK power innovation team Octopus Energy, consisting of a permit for Origin to utilize Octopus's modern technology system Kraken in Australia.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the governments of New South Wales and South Australia, grid operator Ausgrid and insurer NRMA, have awarded almost AU$500,000 to e-mobility start-up Evenergi to help businesses and consumers plan for the electric vehicle revolution.

Senator Jon Ossoff has presented regulation that would establish a tax credit for US-based solar makers to help them much better compete with Chinese opponents.

CIGS thin-film solar cells have an optimum academic efficiency of about 33 percent, however the real-world efficiency has gotten to just around 23 percent. This shortfall is attributable to loss systems in the CIGS solar cell in the practical layers as well as at varied user interfaces. But where specifically and why these losses occur has been a point of opinion.

ReNew Power, with 100% of its generation from renewable energy sources, helped avoid 0.5% of India's carbon emissions and 1.1% of the emissions from the power sector. ReNew avoids carbon emissions which are 200 times its scope 1 and 2 emissions. 400,000 lives impacted across 200+ villages in 9 Indian states through community development initiatives in FY 20-21.

Plans to build a 400MW solar energy station on farmland near Taupō will be listened to by an independent resource authorization commissioner later this month.

DTE Energy's groundbreaking battery storage project at Trenton Channel Energy Centre will revolutionize clean energy in Michigan, powering 40,000 homes and reducing grid strain.

The Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) has issued two tenders for the supply and installation of 5,000 small solar irrigation pumps and 700 solar trees in the state.
