This summer’s hot and sunny days enabled Europe to set a new record for the output of solar PV. In particular, the spike in output in the UK allowed solar to take over from gas as the number-one energy source …
Here’s a video of the project you see here, a double-axis tracking solar PV device that retracts (partially folds up) at night. It sells for about $27,000 plus installation plus God-only-knows how much maintenance, making it a fabulous product for anyone …
Here’s an article pointing out: We can argue all we want and a solar power revolution will still happen. This, of course, is completely true.
Here’s a job opening for someone with the training in physics, engineering and computer science that are required to model the effectiveness of solar PV panels that float on water.
Installing solar panels in your home can be a tricky process. Not to mention the fact that there aren’t a whole lot of people out there with experience on the topic since these panels are a relatively new phenomenon. Before …
