A new solar panel farm in Nevada would generate a massive 690 megawatts of renewable energy

Worldwide investments in clean energy projects have hit a six-year low. Global spending totaled $117.6 billion in the first half of 2019, down 14% from a year earlier and the least since 2013, according to a report by BloombergNEF. Investments slowed in all three major markets -- the U.S., Europe and China -- but China’s decline was especially pronounced as the country continued its shift away from subsidies for solar and wind power.

The group of Prof. Yana Vaynzof at the Integrated Center for Physics as well as Photonic Materials (IAPP) and also the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at Technische Universität Dresden has demonstrated a novel concept for solar cells that exploits the ability of materials to exist in various crystalline phases. The relevant study has actually now been released in the journal Nature Energy.

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells guarantee efficiencies of over 30 percent, as well as it appears that new globe efficiency worths are gotten to in an increasing rate.

Just Recently, Junyou Yang and Yubo Luo from the Huazhong University of Science as well as Technology, in cooperation with Xin Li from the National University of Singapore, released an article labelled "Enhancing the stability of planar perovskite solar cells by green as well as affordable cellulose acetate butyrate" in Journal of Energy Chemistry.

A record quantity of utility-scale PV ability is anticipated to be linked to the grid in the United States this year, with Texas audit for more than a quarter of solar enhancements, according to brand-new data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The era-defining shift from fossil fuels to clean energy will certainly supply an unmatched brand-new boom for assets-- as well as an opportunity for financiers-- as a variety of relatively unknown materials come to be essential to supplying emissions-free power, transportation and also heavy industry.

A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cornell University, as well as Wuhan University have actually offered a completely rare-earth element-- free alkaline fuel cell with improved efficiency utilizing a carbon-coated nickel anode. At the same time, the Port of Rotterdam has actually supplied to provide northwestern Europe with 4.6 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2030. According to RMI, Europe will import green hydrogen in between 2024 and 2030. RenewableUK sees area for hydrogen exports from the UK to the EU.

The drive to electrify Sub-Saharan Africa will certainly need US$ 350 billion of financial investment and also might expose an alternative vision for the energy transition that concentrates on a decentralised, bottom-up solar-and-storage abundant grid that benefits from affordable solar power, according to research study company Wood Mackenzie.

Solar is the "brand-new king" of electrical power, the International Energy Agency has claimed, with the asset course set to release more brand-new capability after that any other innovation each year for the coming decades.

All-inorganic perovskites have actually recently confirmed to be extremely promising for the development of photovoltaics (PVs), as they could potentially accomplish better thermal stabilities than crossbreed perovskite solar cells based upon both natural and also inorganic products.

Shell's power supply department has actually released a new solar and storage tariff in the UK that aims to "change" just how domestic solar installations are used.

German energy company EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG is gradually putting Germany's largest solar park right into procedure in Werneuchen (Brandenburg). While the first kilowatt hours are being fed into the grid, the construction of the 187 MW Weesow-Willmersdorf plant proceeds. Around 70 percent of the modules have been mounted. Both transformer terminals, whereby the electrical power produced in the solar park is fed into the 110-kilovolt high-voltage line, are ready for procedure.

Dominic Buergi discusses exactly how, versus all probabilities, a fully working solar system has been set up in the Antarctic

The latest 7 MW of net metered solar capacity in Dubai indicates 11 MW were added across ten new arrays in just nine days as the Shams initiative continues to work up a head of steam.
