A strip of track in the Swiss Jura carries 48 solar panels laid flat between the rails and thousands of trains have run over them, but the array covers only 330 feet of a national network
17+ hour, 40+ min ago (812+ words) A single track railway in the western Swiss mountains, pasture on both sides, a station a short walk away. Between the rails, where there is normally gravel and nothing else, a run of dark blue panels lies flat. They sit…...
Spain's first floating offshore solar platform has docked in Valencia, and its modular catamaran design is already being replicated to power coastlines far beyond Mediterranean waters using industrialized shipbuilding methods that could make offshore solar as scalable as wind
21+ hour, 49+ min ago (592+ words) A catamaran-shaped solar platform measuring 64 meters by 41 meters — carrying 600 solar modules and 500 kilowatts of generating capacity — has arrived at the Port of Valencia, marking Spain’s first floating offshore solar PV installation. Built at a Galician shipyard and developed by BlueNewables,…...
SunPower has raised $26.2 million in fresh capital to give its U.S. solar business more room to grow
22+ hour, 34+ min ago (530+ words) SunPower is headquartered in San Jose, California, which is the leading solar energy-producing state in the U.S. SunPower was founded in 1985 by Richard Swanson, an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. TotalEnergies purchased a controlling interest in the company in 2011 before…...
More than 2,000 fish cages dot these Taiwanese islands, and engineers designed a floating solar machine around the grouper, sea bass, eels, clams, and scallops already living there
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (578+ words) A monsoon-prone island nation is deploying floating solar power to maintain aquaculture operations. Climate change is accelerating, making weather predictions more volatile and storm events more extreme. For densely populated island nations like Taiwan, this makes reliable backup power supplies…...
Half a million German balconies are now generating solar power while America is still tangled in red tape and the movement keeps growing as renters win court battles and strangers trade energy tips like neighborhood gossip
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (519+ words) Across European cities, a subtle shift is taking place along multi-story residential facades. On a typical morning in Kiel, Germany, Matthias Weyland looks out over a neighborhood where brick apartment buildings are undergoing a quiet transformation. Without major construction or…...
Panels stretch across 110 feet of open canal in California's Central Valley and the water beneath runs cooler, but the evaporation number that would justify a solar canal statewide has not been published
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (780+ words) A canal runs through farmland east of the valley floor, carrying water to almond groves and tomato fields. For most of its length it lies open to the sky. Over two short stretches it does not. Steel trusses cross the…...
Floating solar can add about 50 times more new hard surface to the sea per gigawatt than offshore wind, and mussels, anemones, and baby jellyfish may be among the first creatures to move in
3+ day, 19+ hour ago (478+ words) The offshore deployment of floating solar offers distinct benefits, but it also affects the marine environment. Offshore wind has been leading the shift toward marine power generation, but other technologies are quickly gaining momentum. Will this technology prove to be…...
Spanning three time zones, one power line could quietly reshape how America shares electricity, but only if utilities, regulators, and landowners can align across a decade of obstacles
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (469+ words) America’s power grid is divided into regions that rarely share electricity across their boundaries. That’s largely still true today — but a 420-mile transmission line now in development could change it in a way nothing has before. The U.S. power…...
A solar cell bent 5,000 times around a curve tighter than a thumb kept 91 percent of what it started with, while the flexible tandem inside it reached 33.6 percent certified efficiency on a silicon layer thin enough to roll
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (829+ words) The jig takes both ends of the strip, folds it toward itself, holds it, and lets go. Then it does it again. It ran that way for days, and the film in the clamps looks like nothing at all. Not…...
China sent a flying power plant 13,000 feet into the sky, and a new bird study found tiny songbirds can climb into the very same layer
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (537+ words) Wind power plants are rising thousands of feet into the sky, but so are concerns about potential wildlife impact. Renewable energy capacity must rapidly expand globally to relieve the pressure of increasing electricity demand. The nation is overcoming this by…...
