As the International Space Station orbits Earth, its four pairs of solar arrays soak up the sun's energy to provide electrical power for the numerous research and science investigations conducted every day, as well as the continued operations of the orbiting platform.

WKEP is an integrated renewable energy and irrigation project with several key components: renewable energy production via hydropower and solar photovoltaic generation, coupled with pumped hydropower and battery energy storage to shift most of the project's output into the nighttime peak.

ARMOR solar power films and Nano-C, Inc have expanded the color options for all types of product offerings including BIPV, achieving a true gray color sought after by architects and design professionals.

Over 500 solar panels are being installed on the roof of one of the University of Huddersfield's largest buildings as part of a major carbon reduction scheme across the institution, in response to the climate emergency.

To increase the performance of solar panels, a team of researchers has created a bifacial, or two-sided, tandem solar cell, built by bringing together the best of the perovskite and silicon technologies.

The Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility has been connected to the power grid and began operation. At 300 megawatts/1,200 megawatt-hours, the lithium-ion battery storage system, located on-site at Vistra's Moss Landing Power Plant in Monterey County, California, will be the largest of its kind in the world.

The UK has the largest wind farm market, beating other world leaders such as Germany and China - so much so, that 20% of the UK's energy comes from wind turbines. However, there is currently an even bigger drive to increase wind energy use in Europe.

VALID is a 3-year project designed to develop a Hybrid Testing Platform for accelerated testing with methodologies by combining the virtual and physical environment, reducing cost in the product developing process, tackling scaling challenges and lowering uncertainties once fully demonstrated in the ocean.

Electricity generation from renewable energies is growing on a daily basis and, to integrate their variable nature, energy storage systems are growing in parallel. IDTechEx have investigated the evolution of the energy storage market, forecasting its growth in the next ten years, in the new report: "Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2021-2031".

IDTechEx currently have a number of energy harvesting related webinars available to watch on-demand. These include presentations on triboelectrics, self-powered electronics, photovoltaics, hydrogen economy and smart cities.
