By contributing author April 7, 2025 By Mary O’Kane | Ossila Ltd. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), investments in solar energy now surpass all other power generators. Yet the solar energy industry is now confronted with an increasingly powerful opponent: extreme weather. The intergovernmental panel for climate change (IPCC) has confirmed that people have already escalated the frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions by people. Hurricanes, heavy snowfall, hail showers and heat waves stimulate innovation in technology for solar panels to build systems that are resilient enough to resist these circumstances while maintaining efficiency and lifetime. Extreme…
Merit checks on an Enel Solar Energy site in Scurry, Texas. Sungrow has formed a strategic non-exclusive cooperation with American merit controls to offer North American developers a new option for streamlined controls and cyber security. Together they have created a disconnected, proven and safe solution that combines Merit’s Local Energy Management System (EMS), SCADA and network expertise with the best-in-class integrated energy storage systems of Sungrow-a combination that is intended to help projects to meet the increasingly complex utility and regulatory requirements. “As the infrastructure of clean energy becomes more distributor and digital, it is crucial that our industry…
A handful of aviation pioneers exudes life in the technology of the sun plane. The jury is still out whether they will remain prototypes forever. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Aviation accounted for 2.5% of the worldwide energy -related CO2 Emissions, which grew faster between 2000 and 2019 than train, road or shipping. At the end of 2022, ICAO Member States have one Long -term ambitious goal To achieve net zero carbon emissions of international aviation by 2050. Although this effort is expected to rely on hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels, groundbreaking work in other areas emphasize the…
