The Consortium for Battery Innovation has outlined research goals for advanced lead-based battery concepts, claiming the potential of the technology is “nowhere near fully exploited”. The group, comprised of lead-battery industry stakeholders, says such devices can play an important role alongside lithium-ion and other storage technologies in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and other applications.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the expense per megawatt to build solar plants is listed below nonrenewable fuel sources worldwide for the very first time. Public success tales like Elon Musk's solar as well as wind battery farm in Australia have actually helped move public view. All 4 IEA situations consist of a mix of renewables in addition to nuclear and the globe's continuing to be nonrenewable fuel source plants.

Solar energy systems with double-sided (bifacial) photovoltaic panels - which accumulate sunshine from 2 sides as opposed to one - and also single-axis monitoring innovation that tilts the panels so they can comply with the sun are the most cost effective to day, researchers report June 3rd in the journal Joule. They identified that this combination of modern technologies generates practically 35% more energy, typically, than stable single-panel solar systems, while lowering the expense of electrical energy by approximately 16%.

Capital Dynamics, an independent worldwide exclusive possession monitoring company, today revealed that the joint endeavor entitled Sol Customer Solutions between its Clean Energy Infrastructure (CEI) business as well as Sol Systems, among one of the most seasoned solar financing and growth systems in the United States, has actually secured a Distributed Generation (DG) Tax Equity Commitment from Bank of America.

Using a new method, physicists from TU Freiberg, together with researchers from Berkeley and Hamburg, are for the very first time evaluating at the femtosecond range the processes in a version system for natural solar cells This can be utilized to develop high-performance as well as reliable solar cells. Trick to this are ultra-fast flashes of light, with which the team led by Dr. Friedrich Roth operates at FLASH in Hamburg, the globe's initial free-electron laser in the X-ray area.

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.

Jolywood Suzhou has been selected as the only supplier of bifacial silicon solar panels to the Oman-based biggest bifacial photovoltaic array in the world.

AC Energy Corp (PSE: ACEN), part of Philippines-based empire Ayala Corp (PSE: AC), has begun constructing what will certainly be the biggest solar park in its residence nation, a 283-MW facility in Zambales province.

These facilities of the future are riddled with troubles-- but it's not far too late to locate fixes.

Deals for utility-scale solar installations are accelerating on tribal lands in the Southwest U.S., according to a report published by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

Feed-in tariffs (FiTs) in Japan for solar PV systems have actually now been provisionally set by the national Ministry of Energy Trade and Industry (METI) for the next financial year, which starts in April.

Walmart has stopped a court accusation it started against Tesla in August, when it associated a string of store fires to the Musk’s alleged carelessness with solar installs.

Where the challenge was once a lack of profitable storage opportunities in the Northeast, now the trick is keeping up. Here’s GTM’s handy guide.

Experience the world's top tandem solar cells with record efficiency values of up to 33.7%. Expert teams from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and other research institutes are now making these technologies available in principle and potentially low cost.

The energy ministry has published a plan to radically simplify the renewable energy permitting process. The new system is expected to come into force as early as next month and will be applied retroactively to address a 22-month backlog in generation license applications.
