Efficient solar energy storage is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition: allowing flexible renewable energy production and guaranteeing its integration into the grid. Electricity can be easily generated, transported and transformed. However, up until now it has not been possible to store it in a practical, easy and cost-effective way. This means that electricity needs to be generated conti...
Photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse is a new type of solar system project that combines photovoltaic power generation with agricultural production, roof solar power generation, and agricultural production in the greenhouse. It is a new mode of modern agricultural development and a current investment hotspot. 1.The advantages of solar panel agricultural greenhouses Compared with the construction o...
As hurricane season approaches, many people living in coastal areas wonder if their homes and businesses are prepared.

According to research by the design industry association VDMA, in the second quarter of 2022, demand for solar panel production equipment made in Europe surged by 62%, with orders from Europe surpassing orders from Asian countries for the first time. solar energy system sales by European manufacturers increased by 62% in the first quarter, with European sales soaring fourfold. European orders rece...
According to a report by GCube Insurance, the underwriter of the renewable energy project, the current testing of solar panels is insufficient to cope with the increasingly severe extreme weather events in North America. The frequent loss of solar power plant revenue during a series of extreme weather events suggests that PV technology is "behind the times" when it comes to improving the weatherab...
