The Shoprite Group now generates enough electricity to power over 1 100 households - 12 300 MWh of electricity - a year from solar energy, following the installation of rooftop PV panels at 19 sites in South Africa and Namibia.

A new project in Madagascar is using 3D printing to create new schools. Non-profit organisation Thinking Huts has partnered with architectural design agency Studio Mortazavi to create the world's first 3D-printed school on the campus of a university in Fianarantsoa, Madagascar. It is aiming to tackle the shortage of educational infrastructure which in many countries contributes to fewer children getting a good education.

Perovskites are a leading candidate for eventually replacing silicon as the material of choice for solar panels. They offer the potential for low-cost, low-temperature manufacturing of ultrathin, lightweight flexible cells, but so far their efficiency at converting sunlight to electricity has lagged behind that of silicon and some other alternatives.

Japanese Technology Company TDK Corporation Joins Alkaline Fuel Cell Manufacturer GenCell in Developing a Novel Low-Cost Approach to Green Ammonia - the Fuel of the Future

The equity together with public investments from Sweden, Portugal and EU brings the total funding secured for CorPower's HiWave-5 program to 38 MEUR, supporting CorPower's pan-European efforts in Sweden, Portugal, Ireland, Scotland and Norway.

SolarEdge Technologies Inc has entered into a strategic supply agreement with Sunrun. As part of the agreement, Sunrun will offer SolarEdge's next generation PV inverter, Energy Hub, for residential customers.

An eco-friendly energy-harvesting smart sensor could help make roads safer by identifying potentially dangerous driver behaviour.

The world's first self-powered cycling helmet which integrates an innovative light-harvesting material, which can convert any light source, indoor or outdoor, into electrical power.

Iberdrola is planning what will be the first industrial scale floating offshore wind farm in Spain, to which it would allocate more than €1 billion of investment to commission 300 MW of clean energy off the Spanish coast.

The laws of thermodynamics warn us that making electricity will always be less than 100% efficient. However rapidly we transition to renewables, it is therefore a good thing that both electronic and electrical engineering hardware have been trending to the use of much less electricity.
