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.

Quantum dots are manufactured nanoparticles of semiconducting material consisting of just a few thousand atoms. Due to the handful of atoms, a quantum dot's homes exist in between those of single atoms or molecules and also mass material with a massive variety of atoms.

The Emirati utility and the Chinese communications giant and inverter maker have discussed how they can work together to roll out solar and storage in Dubai as well as collaborating on cyber security and the use of AI to analyze cyber threats.

An accelerated transition to renewables could go either way, regarding the United States’ unique geopolitical strength. According to Indra Overland – head of the Center for Energy Research at the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs – the U.S. could surrender a major advantage if it abandons fossil fuel. The nation could, however, remain dominant in the global energy sector if it continues to lead on innovation and clean energy tech-related intellectual property.

The University of Oxford and the University of the Basque Country have made a breakthrough in the development of perovskite solar cells. Through the use of an additive, the cells have 25.7% efficiency, improved air stability, and longer longevity. Read on to discover more.

As renewables infiltration rises, transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure will call for significant reinforcement. Battery storage is becoming a crucial option to conventional ways of enhancing network framework, because it is rapid to release, can offer numerous services, as well as frequently comes at a lower resources expense. IHS Markit analyst Oliver Forsyth delves into the added worth streams that reinforce the situation for grid-connected batteries.
