Off Grid

Once built, the projects are expected to generate over 100 megawatts of power, enough to supply approximately 19,000 Maine homes with solar energy. Representing over $130 million of capital investment, this project is currently the largest solar portfolio under construction in Maine, and is among the largest in the Northeast region.

In 2018, China enacted its "National Sword" policy, effectively banning the import of most waste plastics and materials heading for the nation's recycling processors in an attempt to stop the wave of soiled and contaminated materials that were overwhelming the country's processing facilities and threatening it with a major environmental problem.

Solar cells can now be made so thin, light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells, which efficiently capture energy from light, could offer an alternative way to power novel electronic devices, such as medical skin patches, where conventional energy sources are unsuitable.

Researchers have designed an off-grid, low-cost modular energy source that can efficiently produce power at night. The system uses commercially available technology and could eventually help meet the need for nighttime lighting in urban areas or provide lighting in developing countries.

What do you now purchase by the kilowatt hour? The new supercapacitors replacing batteries. The new IDTechEx report, "Supercapacitor Markets, Technology Roadmap, Opportunities 2021-2041", shows how supercapacitors have started to replace 10% of lithium-ion batteries and help kill lead-acid.

ALDI Australia has announced that following a successful 40% reduction of overall operational emissions intensity from a 2012 baseline, the supermarket is now committing to 100% renewable electricity to power its Australian operations by the end of 2021.

A brand new tonneau cover system with solar power integration, a platform for versatile and cost-effective solar power integrations for pick-up trucks.

Supercapacitors Turn the Corner - Supercapacitors and their variants have recently seen customer commitment to multibillion-dollar opportunities that were previously beyond their reach. Consider large peak-shaving ones for hybrid cars where the Geely orders will soon be followed by others.

What if you could solve two of Earth's biggest problems in one stroke? Engineers have developed a way to recycle plastic waste, such as soda or water bottles, into a nanomaterial useful for energy storage.

Solar Eclipse completed of the 220 nautical mile circumnavigation of Bali. The entire cruise was completed using nothing but the power of the sun to drive the catamaran's electric motors and charge the batteries.
