The go-ahead has been given for constructing one of the largest solar farms in the United Kingdom. On Wednesday, South Norfolk district council approved Bloy’s Grove, a 200-acre (81-hectare) renewable energy project that could power 14,000 houses. The loss of agricultural land for the project has been criticized. The project’s backer, EDF Energy, claims the …

Among the most promising new materials for gathering solar energy are perovskites, which have a unique crystal structure. Flexible and lightweight perovskite solar cells could outperform thin-film solar cells and stiff silicon solar panels in terms of efficiency. Researchers have already achieved efficiencies comparable to silicon solar cells and are currently striving to put their …

A future powered by renewable energy may have been assured by farms where fish and algae thrive under solar panels. China’s Concord New Energy, a business that specialises in the development and operation of wind and solar power projects, has erected a 70-MW solar plant on the top of a fish pond in the industrial …
Solar panels will aid sustainable energy generation. However, their efficiency is limited unless they receive direct sun radiation exposure. These issues can arise when the sun is obscured by cloud cover or as it rises and sets over a day. Many rotating solar arrays can capture the sun’s rays. However, because of this, they are …

According to municipal officials, new solar panels in a council parking lot will save tens of thousands of dollars. Power generated by the council will account for around 70 percent of the total demand for electricity in Tewkesbury. The council’s offices in Gloucester Road, Tewkesbury, are getting a new solar panels canopy, and it’s estimated …

Solar panels have significant drawbacks as a popular method of generating renewable energy. Overcast and wet days might reduce the amount of energy they produce. For the time being, solar panels cannot function at night unless they receive direct or indirect sunlight. UNSW Sydney and the ARC Centre for Excellence in Exciton Science researchers have …
Solar panels capable of powering 2,500 homes have been proposed to be added to a moorland wind farm. This wind farm in Cliviger needs additional panels from Scottish Power Renewables. Thursday will be a public hearing for these proposals at Burnley Council. Firms that disturb upland birds must make a financial contribution toward purchasing alternative …
Medway Municipal has been advised to deny permission to install solar panels on council offices as part of its initiative. On Wednesday, June 29, the council’s planning committee will consider Medway’s application for eight new solar panels on its Gun Wharf headquarters. Despite this, the council’s planning officers have recommended against the project, citing the …
