Understanding the Impact of Shadowing 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 solar panel will be halved, right? Unfortunately, the physics is not so straightforward, and shadowing just a single cell in…
Can the British Library’s Solar Heat Project Inspire Decarbonisation of Other Public Buildings?
In a commendable stride towards sustainability, the British Library has embraced solar energy by installing panels across its roof to capture both power and heat from the sun. This forward-thinking initiative is not just about harnessing renewable energy; it represents a significant commitment to mitigating climate change to reduce their…
WindRunner Takes to the Skies to Increase Onshore Wind
Onshore wind turbines are on the rise, including in the UK in the wake of Labour’s removal of the de facto ban on onshore wind in England . Usually located in more remote areas, the practicality of building onshore wind turbines can create an extra barrier for developers, especially as…
Railway Glint and Glare: What is Veiling Luminance?
Veiling luminance is intense light energy coming from a light source which reduces visibility of other objects in the field of view. It is another way of measuring the perceived intensity of a light source and it is particularly important to consider it in situations where good visibility is required. …
Underground Solar
Transport for London (TfL) has invited bids for delivery partners to install and operate purpose-built solar farms for their London underground network. Figure 1: London Underground. The Proposal From bike rental schemes to electric buses and vehicles, London continues to work towards reducing its carbon footprint. As part of the…
Sustainable Christmas Trees: An Overview of Eco-Friendly, Real and Artificial Trees
The decision between genuine and artificial Christmas trees usually comes down to personal preference. Convenience, longevity, and long-term cost savings are some of the reasons why more and more people are purchasing artificial Christmas trees, but the fact that they are made of non-biodegradable materials like PVC raises environmental concerns. A…
Well, This is a ReLeaf to Hear!
Around the world, 15 billion trees are cut down each year to make paper. But what about if we didn’t need to cut down the trees in order to make paper? Well, you best beleaf that a company has managed this! Releaf Paper was founded in 2021 in Ukraine…
Pager Power is Now a Member of RenewableUK!
My colleague, Harry Watson, and I attended the Onshore Wind Conference that took place in Edinburgh in September this year, which was organised by Scottish Renewables and RenewableUK. The conference lasted two days and it was great to see the excitement about the future prospects of the UK wind industry.…
