When you think about solar panels, you might imagine endless sunshine powering your home—an endless supply of clean energy. But what happens when a storm rolls in, or the grid fails? Can your solar panels still keep your lights on during power outages? We’re here to dive deep into this question, share our expertise, and help you decide if solar energy is the right solution for your home. Let’s break it down together. Solar energy is an incredible resource that we’ve grown to rely on for its sustainability and long-term savings. But one of the questions many of you ask…
Improving Agrivoltaic Synergies by optimized tracking strategies Agrivoltaic systems, which merge agricultural cultivation with solar energy generation, are a strategic solution for the double challenge to meet the increasing global energy requirements and the guarantee of food security. By setting up solar panels directly above crops, these systems reduce conflicts in land use and provide extra benefits, such as the relief of water stress of crops and the shielding of plants against extreme weather conditions. They also promote ecological benefits, including creating habitats for pollinators and improving the availability of feeds. In dry regions, the Agrivoltaïschens have shown to delay…

BASF has commissioned a PEM electrolyzer of 54 MW at a place in Germany, while Sungrow hydrogen has obtained an important order for alkaline hydrogen production equipment from China Coal Ordos Energy. March 18, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Bass a 54 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer has ordered the Ludwigshafen site after two years of construction. The electrolyzer, which includes 72 installed piles, can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the main factory of BASF by a maximum of 72,000 tons per year. The German company said It invested € 25 million ($ 27.3 million) in the project, with the European…
Clean water flows from your tap each morning, yet 2.2 billion people across the globe lack access to safe drinking water. Our freshwater sources face unprecedented pressure from climate change, growing populations, and rising industrial use. Underground aquifers are depleting faster than they can replenish, while surface water sources grow more contaminated. These challenges affect both developing regions and major cities, making water scarcity a truly global concern. Seawater – An Untapped Resource Our oceans hold 97.5% of Earth’s water. Converting this vast resource into drinking water represents a solution that could transform communities worldwide. Through desalination, we can tap…
