Saharan dust clouds are a growing risk for solar energy stability throughout Europe Since Europe is increasingly dependent on solar energy to achieve climate and energy independence goals, a persistent atmospheric issue of uncertainty is to the comparison: Saharan -material. Research presented on the European Geosciences Union General Meeting (EGU25) emphasizes how Windborne Mineral Dust from Noord -Africa has a significant influence on photovoltaic (PV) energy generation and complicating prediction models. Dr. Gyorgy Varga and a team of researchers from Hungarian and other European institutions investigated data from more than 46 Saharan events that were registered between 2019 and 2023.…

Zonne -Tracker manufacturer Idematec has expanded its strategic partnership with the Parliament Energy Holdings (PEH), the company responsible for the 640 MW, extendedDC Parliament Solar Project In Waller County, Texas. Parliament Solar has not suffered any damage from both Hurricane Beryl and 10 on-site hail events during the construction phase and is now going to operations. Parliament Solar, a 640 MWDC Site north of Houston, TX comprises more than 3000 hectares with more than 6,000 idematec L: TEC 1P trackers. Ideematec supplies its horizon L: TEC 1P trackers for PEH’s coming 2.1 GW Project Pipeline in Texas. The first project…

When our past and future become increasingly intertwined, the preservation of our historical and cultural heritage faces unparalleled challenges. While we’ve long understood the importance of maintaining ancient monuments, protecting priceless artifacts, and documenting living traditions, we’re now confronting a sobering reality: the energy systems that power our world are threatening these irreplaceable treasures. Climate change—fueled by fossil fuel consumption—has emerged as one of the greatest threats to our shared cultural heritage. Rising sea levels endanger coastal historical sites, severe weather events damage vulnerable structures, and changing precipitation patterns accelerate the deterioration of ancient materials. Meanwhile, air pollution from traditional…

On 1 May, 38 Huis Republicans sent a letter to the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who required a complete withdrawal of the Inflation Reduction Act in budgetary coordination. The signatories claim that the IRA will cost the taxpayers $ 1 trillion in the coming decade and will ‘endanger the return of America to Energy Dominance’. The letter focuses on the other Republicans of the House and the Senate who have written support letters for the legislation, and said that the caucus had a united attitude to completely dismantle the IRA. “If every faction continues to defend…

Solar Sheep Smaring helps to create a useful environment for double use, according to American Solar Gazing Association in a two -year study carried out at 31 different sun places. May 6, 2025 Rachel Metea By PV Magazine USA Solar -Begrazing makes healthier soil on northeastern solar projects, research of the American Solar Grazing Association (Asga) found. The two -year study started in 2022 and was intended to investigate the consequences of solar plots in the health of the soil, feed crops and grazing conditions. The research included 28 grazed and three non-engraved commercial solar projects in the Northeastern United…

‘Cold’ production approach to make batteries of the next generation Lithium ion batteries have been a staple in the production of devices for years, but the liquid electrolytes on which they trust to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazard and safety problems. Now researchers from Penn State are aiming for a reliable alternative energy storage solution for use in laptops, telephones and electric vehicles: Solid-State electrolytes (SSEs). According to Hongtao Sun, assistant professor of industrial and production -engineering, Solid -State batteries -that use SSEs instead of liquid electrolytes -are a leading alternative to traditional lithium ion batteries. He…

The WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF) in Switzerland is investigating how the solar yield can be optimized in snow covered with snow. It is foreseen that the results will help to place PV systems on mountains, so that they use light that is reflected by adjacent slopes. May 6, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research project in Switzerland Works to determine where and how solar modules can best be placed in mountain areas to generate as much electricity as possible. The research is being conducted by the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research (SLF), with PhD student…
