A proposal from Germany’s Energy Agency Umweltbundesamt (commonly known as UBA) would see the country’s lofty goal of an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 raised even further to 95%. With reductions in hydropower and geothermal having reached their potential, biomass, wind, and solar remain areas for growth. A reduction of this magnitude would represent a drop from […]
Advocacy groups 100% Renewable and Greenpeace staged a rally yesterday disrupting Origin Energy’s Annual General Meeting at City Recital Hall, Angel Place, in Sydney. A recent campaign from Origin citing renewables such as solar and wind as the cause of increasing electricity prices was cited as reasons for the protest, with the group hoping to […]
Your favourite children’s blocks may unlock the key to cheaper, more efficient solar panels. Researchers from Imperial College London with the collaboration of experts from Belgium, China and Japan have designed an improved manufacturing process that delivers more sunlight to the panel by covering it with a microscopic surface of spaced aluminium studs similar to […]
Solar Sunwerx partner Jinko Solar will supply approximately 319,600 high-efficiency JinkoSolar PV solar panels for a new Solar Power farm in Cape Town South Africa, enough to supply a total amount of 274 MWp following an agreement with leading renewable energy company ACCIONA. The Cape Town solar farm will eradicate approximately 198,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from coal-fired […]
Installing a solar power system can add up to 3-4% to the value of a home, according to a study by Wells Fargo Bank and the Journal of Appraisers in San Antonio. Reduced utility bills are an attractive proposition for home-buyers, and can add an average $9,000 to the sale price of a property. The […]
Entrants in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2013 concluded their epic journey on Sunday as the pack reached Adelaide with the Dutch teams Nuon Solar and Team Eindhoven taking out the elite Challenger Class and Cruiser Class respectively. Australia entrant Team Arrow placed 7th in the Challenger Class, the main competitive class that is focused on aerodynamic efficiency, […]
Melbourne picturesque skyline looks set to remain unchanged in an effort to preserve the feasibility of solar for urban rooftops. A report in The Age confirms that the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure is reviewing planning and building provisions that could affect existing solar power installations. Development of new high-rise buildings or extensions […]
Stretching from Darwin to Port Augusta and named for explorer John McDouall Stuart who was the first European explorer to travel the country from south to north, the Stuart Highway is the principal route through the central interior of mainland Australia. The terrain is grueling and often tormented by the unforgiving sun, making it the perfect scene […]
Amidst a request from electricity retailers to scrap the solar electricity feed-in tariff in South Australia, the Essential Services Commission Of South Australia (ESCoSA) have produced a draft proposal that recommends retaining a 7.6c/kWh return for individuals harnessing electricity through solar power systems. Feed-in tariffs in the state recently dropped to 9.8c/kWh, and the proposed […]
Sir David King has told The Guardian that research into solar power needs to be made a priority ahead of next year’s United Nations Climate Summit. With innovation and research the cost of producing power from non-carbon sources can be reduced, making it comparatively more expensive to produce electricity from mining coal, gas or oil. King […]
