We understand solar energy to be an important alternative energy source to our daily living - but what are the ways we can utilise this on the everyday? Solar energy remains one of the most sought after alternative energy sources today, especially in the face of climate change and rising global temperatures. Many governments are making specific moves to phase out of using fossil fuel energy,...
Solar energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy available today. It is clean, efficient, and has the potential to meet a large percentage of our energy needs. Despite all of its benefits, solar energy still faces some challenges regarding public perception. In particular, some people find it difficult to believe that solar power can be a viable source of energy for the future. ...
As one of the new energy sources, solar energy not only brings convenience and clean energy to cities or factories, but also brings good benefits to farms. Photovoltaic energy systems can easily be converted into agricultural solar systems, that is, systems that grow crops in the shade of solar panels. The practice, dating back to the early 1980s, reduces the evaporation rate of summer irrigation ...
As the effects of climate change become more dire, the benefits of solar energy are now more widely known than ever. Most people know that solar system power is an energy alternative that doesn’t produce pollution or emit greenhouse gases after panels are installed. However, many people aren’t so familiar with solar panel recycling. Solar energy offers many benefits to the environment,...
Solar installation on a flat roof is one of the most common methods of integrating a solar system into any house. Solar panels have been well studied to determine how they can be installed on the roof without compromising the house’s structural integrity. Solar installation on a flat roof is not complicated and can easily be installed on domestic properties. This article focuses on everythin...
In today’s environmentally conscious world, finding smart solutions to save the planet’s resources is high on the agenda. Damage to our environment is pressing issue, and more and more people are making changes to reduce their carbon footprint. In light of the growing seriousness of climate change, and motivated by the uncertainty of the future, positive steps are being taken around th...
Homeowners with solar panels are spreading the word about how to save with clean, affordable, and reliable energy. It’s true that solar panel installations are more affordable than ever, and that traditional energy has become more expensive than ever. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that so many people are sharing their experiences with going solar, and creating a sizable boost in de...
Governments must ensure that their energy security policies are compatible with net-zero scenarios mapped out by the International Energy Agency (IEA) or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the UN’s Environment Programme (UNEP). The warning comes as countries make critical decisions about their energy future against the backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensi...
EDP is to acquire Polish distributed solar company Soon Energy, enabling its presence in Poland to grow fivefold, the company has claimed, as it targets distributed generation as a key growth area in the country. Soon Energy has over 25MWp installed in solar system projects across Poland, of which 10MWp was installed in 2021, accruing revenues of €6 million (US$6.6 million). The acquisition w...
China is expected to add 83 – 99GW of solar panel capacity every year from 2022 to 2025, while Europe is now its largest export market for solar products, according to a China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) report on the outlook for the PV industry over the next few years. China’s solar panels industry continued to surge in 2021 despite COVID-19 complications, with exports re...
