PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia — The rapid transition of Southeast Asia toward clean energy is moving from the early adoption of electric mobility to a regional industrialization effort. When the 4th ASEAN Battery Technology Conference opens next month in Sepang, Malaysia, the focus will pivot from policy framework proposals toward the engineering … [continued]
Chatgpt generated: Solar canopies covering a large commercial parking area demonstrating one of Oʻahu’s largest untapped solar resources.
Any discussion of solar power on Oʻahu has to begin with the amount of electricity the island actually needs in a fully electrified system. Earlier analysis stripped out aviation fuel for overseas flights, fuel bunkered for ships leaving the islands, and military fuel use. It also electrified transportation, buildings, and … [continued]
ChatGPT generated a panoramic image illustrating "Laboratory vs. Field Reality": on the left, scientists examine small, high-efficiency perovskite cells in a lab; on the right, workers install conventional silicon PV modules across a sprawling solar farm
Perovskite solar is getting another moment in the sun, with outlandish claims matched by a lack of global perspective on advances. It’s worth stepping carefully through the various dimensions of this photovoltaic technology, weighing what enthusiasts say against what’s demonstrably true today. In doing so, it’s obvious that perovskite’s pathway … [continued]
Imagine your window shades doing more than just blocking the sun — they’re also quietly generating clean energy while keeping your space cool and comfortable. That’s exactly what the new ORENgE-powered ElectroShade system brings to the table: a sleek, solar-savvy solution that blends energy production with intelligent design. This new … [continued]
ChatGPT generated panoramic image of a Tesla Semi labeled "STALLED?" by the side of the road with a cloud of word bubbles hanging over it, specifically "Starship", "Cybertruck", "Boring Company" and "solar tiles"
Tesla says the Semi is entering high-volume production in 2025, nearly eight years after its 2017 unveiling. At the time, Elon Musk promised a revolution in freight: 500 miles of electric range, faster acceleration than a diesel, and a cost-per-mile figure that would make it a no-brainer for fleet managers. … [continued]
Fraunhofer ISE and Fraunhofer UMSICHT are out there innovating once more, as they tend to do. Could their latest advancement break through in a market that’s been hyped for at least a decade but never come to much? The sector I’m referring to is building-integrated solar PV (BIPV). In this … [continued]

Turkey’s largest solar manufacturer, Ankara Solar, recently came out with a line of walkable solar panels, which have a durable non-slip glass surface, that can be installed in floors and open areas both inside and out. Ankara Solar’s PV Floor is a building-integrated photovoltaic option for developers, architects, and builders … [continued]
