The food truck industry is experiencing explosive growth, with the market size projected to reach $6.6 billion by 2028, marking a 7.5% annual growth rate. Yet behind this vibrant culinary revolution lies a startling environmental cost: the average food truck generates approximately 9.1 metric tons of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to driving two passenger vehicles for an entire year. This environmental impact stems largely from traditional generators that power these mobile kitchens, which pollute and can cost operators up to $50 per day in fuel alone. Enter solar-powered food trucks—a revolutionary solution transforming the mobile food industry from the ground…

Researchers have analyzed the potential implementation of green methanol from CO2 recording in existing industries, based on European GIS data. Although they found 9,213 theoretically feasible municipalities, the number of up to 3,016 decreased when considering the space required for a PV installation around the factory. June 19, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group from the Spanish University of Sevilla in Spain has analyzed the potential implementation of PV-driven green methanol of CO2-catch in Europe. With the help of a geographical information system (GIS), the analysis is aimed at CO2 recording of existing industries. Methanol is a promising candidate for…

View the full webinar to see Maxwell’s comments about the financing of Cleve Hill and a Q&A. “It has been an experience of your life to let everyone look at you while you take something first,” says Rosalind Smith Maxwell, director of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, working on the Cleve Hill Solar Plant. The first nationally important infrastructure project of the VK (NSIP), the 373MW Cleve Hill Solar site is the first of its kind that reached every milestone past its realization. Speakingly organized in a webinar by Solar Power Portal, Maxwell explained that, after he started working on a project…
The prices for solar module in Europe have fallen to € 0.01 ($ 0.01)/W this month, according to pvxchange.com, because the PV market shows resilience in the midst of policy security and geopolitical risks. June 19, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com By PV Magazine Germany The market for solar module has shown little movement in both directions this month. Prices have only experienced a slight downward correction, mainly driven by weakening demand in recent weeks and slightly higher supplier stocks. To stimulate sales, some module prices fell selectively by € 0.005/W to € 0.01/W, but these reductions can reverse in July.…
A map of the proposed solar site East Pye. Image: Island Green Power. Island Green Power has opened the second round of Community Consultation for the East Pye Solar Project, a proposed 500 MW solar PV energy plant with a co-location battery energy storage system (BESS). The project, which is classified as a nationally important infrastructure project (NSIP) because of the capacity of solar generation, will be on land near Long Stratton in South Norfolk if a development assignment (DCO) will be granted. The proposed capacity for the on -site Bess has not yet been unveiled by island -green power.…
