The world´s largest solar photovoltaic farm in Portugal. The country expects to generate about one third of its power through solar energy. The farm, located at the top of the plain Alantejo near the small town of Mouro, will be twice as big than any other project of this type. The farm includes 2520 giant [...]
The ability of plants to capture and store solar energy through photosynthesis promises to be a good solution as a renewable energy for mankind. However, agriculture must maintain its primary role in energy production, creating healthy meals for the human body. Can we develop sustainable biofuels and ensure a continuous supply of food at a [...]
Even with the crushing Arizona sun, the electric meter at the home of Stephanie Feil in Rio Verde Foothills revolves so slowly that most did not pass on Wednesday. Until the air conditioning started working. At that time began to turn back. Feil is one of the residents of Scottsdale who got permits for solar [...]
With the administration of data centers to absorb enormous amounts of energy and concerns about the amount of gallons of water required to make semiconductors, one would never think that the chips would provide a solution to some of the problems of resources and environment. But the semiconductor industry really wants to use its chips [...]
The Atlantic City Convention Center has signed a 20 year agreement with Pepco Energy Services for a 2.36 megawatt solar roof installed on the building. When completed later this year, the project is estimated to be America’s largest solar energy building. This is 13.321 solar panels covering nearly two thirds of the building and saving [...]
A researcher from the University of Massachusetts MIT, has developed a new way to energize battery, which means that people can store energy and produce electricity to run appliances at night and at home. A new catalyst produces oxygen and hydrogen, and then the batteries are used to generate electricity, using much less energy than [...]
Turkey is drafting legislation to require owners of homes and businesses that install solar energy panels or batteries to cover 10 percent their consumption and meet the standards of the European Union, Milliyet said today. Turkey could produce 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, Soner Aksoy, chairman of the Parliament’s Committee for Industry, [...]
There are many ways to harness solar energy in residential, but the two are distinguished by their technology and their use: to use solar energy to heat water and generate electricity. One of the most common questions I receive in my mailbox for me is how much to install solar on my house? And then [...]
First, they discovered how to use solar energy to travel by land with the solar car. Then they developed the solar plane to conquer the skies. Well, by air and land is apparently not enough for the solar inventors. To complete the trio of solar travel, the solar boat is now being figured out. It [...]
A former professor Dr David Mills of the University of Sydney could not find funds for its large solar energy plants in Australia, but U.S. investors have not had the slightest problem in investing at least $ 40 million in the idea. The first of Dr. Mills factory for mass production of solar parks will [...]
