By [email protected] Tighter rules on the carbon footprint of new-build homes in England could likely trigger a fresh boom for residential solar. New homes will be required to produce 31 percent less carbon dioxide than they do now, according to plans laid out this week, which will require better energy efficiency and being “heat pump…

By Kelly Pickerel Panasonic has promoted 13 U.S. solar installers to the Elite and Premium tiers of its Residential Solar Installer Program. Not only will installers and homeowners gain access to the entire suite of legacy Panasonic solar modules, they will also receive access to the new high-efficiency Panasonic Solar EverVolt Modules, available beginning in…

By [email protected] Study after study over the past decade has concluded that expanding the U.S. transmission grid will play a key role in decarbonizing the country’s electricity system. But a new Massachusetts Institute of Technology study indicates that a massive U.S.-wide transmission build-out could also slash the costs of reaching a zero-carbon grid with wind,…
By mmillikin Researchers in China led by a team from Fudan University have demonstrated the electrochemical reduction of CO2 toward C2+ alcohols with a faradaic efficiency of ~70% using copper (Cu) catalysts with stepped sites. In a paper published in the journal Joule, they suggest that the results show great potential for the electrocatalytic conversion…
By [email protected] Over the past 20 years, the increasing recognition that climate change poses a grave threat to our society has given rise to an entirely new clean energy economy. Almost every ambitious clean energy plan recognizes the importance of innovation in renewable generation, distributed energy resources, energy efficiency and electrification. However, these plans often…
By [email protected] (Bengt Halvorson) Tesla approaches its pre-pandemic delivery goals for 2020, and its plant in China might have some lessons for Fremont. Fisker’s driver assistance system forgoes lidar, like Tesla. And could Fisker’s product after the Ocean be the world’s most efficient electric pickup? This and more, here at Green Car Reports. Tesla reported……
Researchers demonstrate the first transparent solar cell. Their innovative technique rests on a specific part of the solar cell: the heterojunction, made up of thin films of materials responsible for absorbing light. By combining the unique properties of titanium dioxide and nickel oxide semiconductors, the researchers were able to generate an efficient, transparent solar cell….
By [email protected] (Bengt Halvorson) Could an edgy-looking electric pickup be next for Fisker after the late-2022 rollout of the Ocean electric crossover? CEO Henrik Fisker last week suggested that the next model might be a lifestyle-oriented electric pickup truck. Based on the first sketch of the project released last week, it appears that the truck…
Polarons affect a material’s behavior, and may even be the reason that solar cells made with lead hybrid perovskites achieve extraordinarily high efficiencies in the lab. Now scientists have used an X-ray free-electron laser to directly see and measure the formation of these ephemeral atomic lattice distortions for the first time. Read Full Article Here…
When solar cells are exposed to sunlight, certain bound ‘charge pairs’ are generated in its components, which need to be separated for photocurrent generation. Ferroelectric materials, due to their spontaneous electric polarization, are highly efficient at charge separation but do poorly in light-to-electricity conversion. Now, scientists have demonstrated using theoretical calculations that antiperovskite oxides, a…
