Scientists at the solar research and development centre, Oxford PV, are entering a new era of solar innovation, researching the potential of perovskite to increase the efficiency of solar panels [...]
If a shadow was cast over half of a solar panel, then only half the amount of sunlight will be reaching the panel, and therefore the energy output of the [...]
Permaculture is a worldview and design system that aims to create sustainable human habitats through the integration of land, resources, people, and the environment by drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems [...]
Integrating solar panels onto buildings can be quite challenging. Sometimes the challenges might relate to the physical design and installation aspect, for example on curved rooftops and façades, rooftops with [...]
Necessity is the mother of invention, and also of innovation. What greater necessity could there be the need for a safe planet to live upon. Climate change has driven no [...]
The development of renewable energy and the ageing of existing electricity infrastructure means that new high voltage overhead lines, underground cables, and other electrical infrastructure is being planned and developed [...]
Humanity has come very far in its efforts for renewable energy in recent years. From using wind turbines to harness the power of the breeze, to angling solar panels to [...]
The fifth topic in the ‘Back to Basics’ series sets out the timeline for the development of modern photovoltaics. Alongside the sun naturally providing its energy to grow crops, ancient [...]
In our 7th article in our series on the Baltic States, we take a look at the prospects for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy production and explore recent proposed solar projects [...]
Human history is full of instances where what was once considered science fiction eventually materialised as an invaluable invention. As Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” One [...]
