The Dutch love to cycle. So much so that there are more than 35,000 km (over 56,000 miles) of cycle paths snaking through the Netherlands. Two of those bike routes have now been topped with photovoltaic cells to produce renewable energy while they face… Continue reading Renewable energy rides solar cycle paths through Dutch provinces
Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a “twin technology solar system” (TTSS) capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than twice as much energy as a standard solar updraft tow… Continue reading Double-action solar tower promises clean energy all day and night
With most of Arizona in a state of moderate to extreme drought, the Gila River Indian Community and the US Army Corps of Engineers have signed a deal to begin a solar-over-canal project designed to cut down evaporation and boost solar efficiency.Contin… Continue reading Arizona solar canal project aims to save water while making power
Researchers have created a floating, solar-powered device that converts contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and drinking water. Because it works with any open water source and doesn’t require external power, the device could be used… Continue reading Sun-run device turns dirty water into hydrogen fuel & drinking water
MVRDV loves to draw inspiration from the natural landscape, resulting in geological designs like the Valley and the Canyon. Now the Dutch firm riffs on nature once again with an impressively energy-efficient university building in Toronto that will be … Continue reading Energy-efficient university hub arranged around light-filled “fissure”
For the second consecutive time, a team from Belgium has landed in first place in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC), a competition that sees dozens of innovative solar vehicles race across the often punishing continent of Australia.Continue … Continue reading Fin-topped solar car soars through winds and wildfires to victory
Many plants are capable of tracking the sun in order to get the most possible light. [hannu_hell] built a solar powered sculpture that replicates this light sensitivity for the benefit …read more Continue reading Solar Powered Flower Chases The Light
Keeping panels clear of dust in large solar farms can be a time-consuming, wasteful and costly business. A Sicilian technology startup called the Reiwa Engine has developed an autonomous robot called SandStorm to reduce maintenance and cleaning costs b… Continue reading Autonomous cleaning robot brushes away solar panel dust as it rolls
UK sustainable energy company GridServe has partnered with Cornwall Services to install an Electric Super Hub in the heart of the popular tourist destination, which includes a solar canopy and a huge battery to support the grid supply to a dozen EV cha… Continue reading Electric Super Hub taps solar and battery power to keep EVs moving
According to a study by Astrostrom for ESA, future Moon bases could be powered by a giant space butterfly called the Greater Earth Lunar Power Station (GEO-LPS) covered with solar panels made from lunar materials beaming microwaves to the surface.Conti… Continue reading Solar space butterfly could power lunar outposts around the clock
