Electric mobility is experiencing unprecedented growth, with global electric vehicle sales surging by 35% in 2023 alone. This expansion isn’t limited to cars — electric bikes have seen a 240% increase in sales over the past three years, while electric scooter sharing programs operate in over 600 cities worldwide. As these numbers climb, the infrastructure supporting this electric revolution becomes vital to its sustained success. If you’re considering an electric vehicle, bike, or scooter, you’re already thinking about reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner environment. You understand that traditional transportation methods relying on fossil fuels are contributors…
Scientists have placed fog mouths in a bifacial PV module and measured under an extremely hot climate. The module appeared to generate up to 37% more electricity on sunny days and up to 46% more on cloudy days compared to standard monofacial panels. May 22, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the United Arab Emirates (VAE) have developed a new Bifacial PV module cooling technique based on a fog cooler placed between the two sides of the panel. They tested it under the extremely hot climate of the VAE and achieved a number of important profit. “The novelty of our research…
“As a sponsor, we welcome a non-covered, pay-as-product inflation-linked purchase agreement with an FTSE100 company,” said Rosalind Smith-Maxwell, left. Image: Solar Media. Strong personal relationships and the combination of a purchase agreement from Merchant Power (PPA) and a contract for Difference (CFD) were important floating factors behind the successful financing of the UK’s Cleve Hill-Plus-Plus storage project.
