Christian Roselund kindly wrote a debunking article about a post published last week titled “How Fast are the Costs of Solar Really Coming Down?“. It was written by staff of the Breakthrough Institute, and it is full of false statements, but I’m repeating myself. One of the false statements says that cost … [continued]
[Update July 12] See a more in-depth post about this record day here: Sunday, Solar Sunday — Germany’s July 7 Solar Power Record In-Depth It has been a very sunny day here in western Poland, so I knew it was basically the same in Germany (it always is) and that … [continued]
Following our top solar states rankings and our top solar countries rankings, below are rankings that mix the two. The rankings are for total and new solar power capacity per capita as well as total and new solar power per GDP. I thin the results are very interesting…. If you … [continued]
–> Update: Also see the new top solar power countries vs top US solar states rankings. Following up on my top solar power state rankings, below are rankings of the top solar power countries per capita and per GDP. These solar power by country rankings are key to seeing who the … [continued]
While many countries still discuss whether or not a 100% renewable energy system – or “just” a 100% renewable electricity supply – is even theoretically possible, Germans seem no longer bothered by such unscientific doubts. To make matters “worse,” some of them (including myself) are even convinced that a transition … [continued]
Following my article on a GBI Research report about the Global Energy Storage Market to 2020 (April 2013), below is a teaser on another GBI Research report — a “Solar Photovoltaics Power Market to 2020” report (published in October 2012) that it recently just shared with me. (Note: CleanTechnica has a partnership with … [continued]
This article first appeared on the Lenz Blog Says Ashley Seager in this article at the Guardian titled “Renewable energy’s clean, cheap and here – what’s stopping us?” He knows that from his own experience running a company called AEA solar GmbH that is actually installing solar on German barn … [continued]
(If you’ve read the intro 4 times already, just skip to the final 10 articles.) We’re trying to get more solar energy stories going over on Planetsave. To catch readers up, I’m doing a short series on the top 50 solar energy stories of 2013 so far. Learning from the Top 33 … [continued]
The European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) has gone out and confirmed what others had already reported — the global solar PV market grew by about 30 GW in 2012 (31.1 GW by EPIA’s recording). But its report also includes a lot of other interesting and useful information about the European and … [continued]
This article originally appeared on Solar Love. A new study by the Reiner Lemoine Institut and Solarpraxis AG has found that solar and wind power generation complement each other better than previously thought. The study examined the surface area where solar photovoltaic systems and wind turbines were installed together. In that same surface area, twice … [continued]
