The United States is standing at the cusp of a significant change, perhaps the most consequential since the New Deal. Shifting to cleaner sources of power demands a massive increase in solar power. Not just limited to home rooftop setups but also solar installations located near urban areas. However, a critical question arises, one that […]
What better way to showcase the amazing advantages of solar power than to help a whole district’s school system? The Batesville school district in Arkansas did exactly that and with inspirational results. The Woeful Situation In Batesville Before the introduction of solar power, the Batesville school district was struggling to pay the salaries of its […]
It may not be anything fancy and speed is not an option here, but Tesla owner and YouTube influencer, ItsYaBoi came up with a contraption so ingenious, it’s almost art. The influencer has built a large solar panel-equipped trailer that hitches to the back of his car. The panels charge the car’s battery, meaning he […]
The world around us currently requires substitutes for non-renewable sources of energy that would be inexhaustible. AeroMINE, a company specializing in wind power, has made a unique claim. They say their rooftop wind generators can deliver the most surreal of promises. The company states that its generators are motionless and can provide around 50% more […]
Over the last decade or so we have made many advancements in solar technology. Recently, MIT researchers have developed paper-thin solar cells that can essentially turn any surface into a source of power. These cells could change the way we look at solar technology. The Paper-Thin Solar Cells That Can Change Any Surface Into A […]
The Indian state of Gujarat is leading the solar revolution, with Modhera being the first solar-powered village in the country. This has set a precedent for Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations. He considers this to be “a reconciliation between humankind and planet.” This project has reportedly supplied the citizens of this village […]
There’s glamping, and then there’s this. A team of 22 Dutch university students recently completed a 1,800-mile Eurotrip in a solar-powered campervan they designed themselves. Their question? If a group of university students can make something like this, why can’t big companies? (1) Students Complete Eurotrip InSolar-Powered Camper Van The team of students set off […]
Living off the grid was once considered a fringe movement reserved for solitarians and individuals preparing for the apocalypse, but it has begun receiving a lot more attention and interest from the general population over the last several years.

The climate crisis is only getting worse. This means that scientists are racing to find sustainable solutions to power our world. Rather than constantly trying to come up with something brand new, many scientists are trying to make improvements to technologies that already exist. This group of scientists has come up with a new way […]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have engineered a groundbreaking solar device capable of transforming contaminated water into clean drinking water and hydrogen fuel.1 This breakthrough device exemplifies the power of innovation in addressing pressing global concerns. Its multifaceted approach to clean water production and renewable energy generation sets a precedent for future technological advancements. […]
One solar community was designed to weather hurricanes. So when Hurricane Ian came on September 28, 2022, the locals were ready. The Category 4 storm, near Category 5, devastated Florida and the Gulf Coast, South Carolina, and Cuba, and became documented as the deadliest storm since 1935. However, Babcock Ranch in Southwest Florida, just north […]
Some farmers harvest energy in addition to their crops. Take Fabian Karthaus, for example. His father built a photovoltaic system (solar panels) on the roof of their barn when Karthaus was a child. At the age of 33, the farmer keeps two large solar power systems in his field. Berry crops grow underneath one of […]
