Former Facebook staff member as well as present enfant terrible of high money Chamath Palihapitiya is making news again with a $1.3 billion twofer SPAC and PIPE deal into the solar power financing business, Sunlight Financial.

Primergy Solar unveils its 100-MWac Prairie Mist solar farm in Arkansas, powering Amazon and boosting local jobs and tax revenue—renewable energy’s bright future starts now!

Scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have actually fabricated a solar cell with an efficiency of nearly 50%.

Researchers at NREL have actually produced a solar battery with an efficiency of almost 50 percent. The cell currently holds 2 globe documents for solar conversion efficiency

McDonald’s Corp and Lightsource bp have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to construct a 145-MW AC/180 MW DC solar park in Louisiana. The photovoltaic (PV) farm will generate enough electricity to power 630 McDonald’s restaurants and meet the demand of 30,700 local homes.

Researchers have actually created as well as demonstrated a brand-new system that can spot defects in silicon photovoltaic panels in full as well as partial sunlight under any climate condition. Because current defect detection methods can not be made use of in daylight problems, the brand-new system can make it a lot easier to keep solar panels functioning ideally.

Solar cells made of perovskite go to the facility of much current solar research. The product is cheap, easy to generate and practically as efficient as silicon, the material generally utilized in solar cells. However, perovskite cells have a love-hate-relationship with the sun. The light that they require to create electrical power, additionally hinders the quality of the cells, drastically limiting their performance and security with time. Research study by scientists at the Eindhoven University of Technology and also universities in China and the United States currently sheds new light on the root causes of this deterioration and paves the way for developing brand-new perovskite compositions for the utmost steady solar cells.

Repsol SA breaks ground on the 595-MW Pecan Prairie solar park in Texas, boosting its U.S. renewable energy footprint and advancing its sustainable energy goals.

Scientists from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County are researching ways to make solar panels more efficient by using molecules found in plants, like chlorophyll, to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Learn more about the process and the potential of this sustainable energy source.

Primergy brings its 408-MW Ash Creek Solar plant online in Hill County, Texas, under a Microsoft PPA, powering 90,000 homes and delivering USD 100 million in local taxes.
