California is stepping up its capacity for energy storage. This is in order to achieve a 100 percent clean and renewable energy goal by 2045 To do this, several bills are to be enacted which can help utilities and other energy institutions and producers with their energy storage. People in the U.S. are probably used…
Solar panels, like any other technology, are not perfect and are always subject to the forces of nature. On one hand, this is what makes solar panels so effective, their exposure to the sun is what helps generate electricity. On the other hand, them being placed outside means they are subject to wear and tear.…
South Africa is entering its fifth round of bidding and proposal for renewable energy. The project will cost as much as $4 billion and will result in a 1.8 gigawatt (GW) capacity infrastructure The bidding is expected to come to fruition on November this year. Things have been a little complicated in South Africa in…
Digital methods can help simplify testing and developments for solar panel technologies. Developers can use digital simulation to make virtual setups and compare them to real setups. Field tests are now underway and we might soon have digital solar panel technologies. It is without a doubt that the solar industry is thriving right now and…
China is now the leading solar panel manufacturer in the world. It supplied half of the world’s total solar panels back in 2017. China’s growth in the solar industry has been staggering and justifies it being the top player in the industry. Despite this, China actually wants to slow down and decelerate its growth. While…

Germany is one of the leaders in the world when it comes to renewable energy. The European country is starting an aggressive phase-out of coal as an energy source. Soon, the country could be fully powered by clean and renewable energy such as wind or solar. The solar power and renewable energy scene in America…
Conventional solar panels are not that viable for low sunlight areas. A team of researchers managed to create a new type of solar panels which can work efficiently in low light. They used a bacteria called E.coli in order to replicate photosynthesis from plants and apply them to solar panels. They are not yet ready…
