As Joe Biden’s time leading the United States approaches an end, various government agencies have been sprinting to get things done before they are at risk of being dropped and forgotten. Rather than try to cover each of these separately, let’s quickly roll through some of the announcements, and you … [continued]
ClearPower, the maker of a PV insert for windows was designated a top pick among new technologies by Architectural Record magazine.
It seems like yesterday that Ron Corio told me at a lunch with engineers that energy storage will be the next big thing since solar power. It was years ago. Well, development happened quickly, time went by, and now it’s here to stay. Residential energy storage installations just hit an … [continued]
Jennifer wrote a great piece about the fragmentation of the EV scene on social media a few weeks ago, pointing out all the challenges associated with getting the right messaging out in a universe of often purposefully biased media. The mass “X-odus” from Elon Musk’s social media platform continues, with … [continued]
Boston startup re-invents millennia-old firebricks for 21st century renewable energy storage and industrial decarbonization.
The world has gone cuckoo for artificial intelligence. AI is virtually all you hear in the news these days. NVIDIA is worth a gazillion dollars because it manufactures the specialized computer chips that data centers need to make AI possible. Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Google are all rushing headlong … [continued]
The scale of solar projects has gotten unfathomable. About 10 years ago, I visited a 100-megawatt solar power plant in Crimea, Ukraine. You could ride around the solar power facility on a 4-wheeler for about 15 minutes. The solar panels went further than I could see. 100 megawatts is tiny … [continued]
Floating solar power has been one of the most interesting and fast-growing trends in the solar industry in the past several years, and especially the past couple of years. Going from an obscure, niche idea to a more and more common solution at larger and larger scale, floating solar power … [continued]
Deciding where to build a solar or wind farm? MIT engineers show how detailed mapping of weather conditions and energy demand can guide optimization for siting renewable energy installations. Prior to now, there were few integrated sources for combining data from individual developers or utilities, which made it more guesswork … [continued]
The Philippines is working on the largest solar power plus battery storage project in the world, breaking ground on the project just a few weeks ago. Philippines President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. featured for the groundbreaking of the Meralco Terra Solar Project. The project is going to have a solar … [continued]
