The Adani Group fully commissioned the 648 MW Kamuthi Solar Power Plant in September 2016. Back then, it became the largest solar plant, surpassing the Topaz Solar Park in California, USA, which had a capacity of 550 MW. It spans over 2,500 acres and was completed in a record span of 8 months.

A retired gas industry executive, a shadowy “grassroots” group and a controversial media company are spreading misinformation while turning residents against a proposed solar farm — and each other.

After the announcement of PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the demand for solar panel installation has reached a new high in India. 1.28 crore new registrations were done and 14.84 lakh applications were submitted (as of 12 Aug 2024) on the portal For solar subsidies, getting the correct solar system at the correct price is also important. Most of the customers don’t know too much about the technicalities of solar systems. Therefore, you must choose a genuine, trusted solar system installer with good experience. Here are the top 5 checklists to choose solar installers in India.

A solar tracking system makes your solar system more powerful by orienting the solar panels such that the sunlight falls perpendicularly on the solar panels. In this way, a solar system with a tracking system produces more power than a traditional solar system. In this blog, we will discuss how a solar tracker works, and the different types of solar trackers commonly used in solar systems.

Solar energy continues its meteoric rise as a sustainable and cost-effective way to power our lives. But what if we could harness the sun's power while simultaneously creating valuable shade? Enter the solar carport – a unique structure that combines a traditional carport with a rooftop solar panel array. In 2024, solar carports offer a compelling solution for businesses and homeowners seeking to embrace clean energy and enhance their property.

For years, farmers have danced with the whims of rain, their livelihoods dependent on unpredictable downpours. But a new dawn is emerging, powered by the sun's abundant energy. Solar-powered irrigation systems are transforming agriculture, bringing in an era of sustainability, economic empowerment and increased food security.

The breakneck speed of solar and wind energy expansion will see Chin surpass its 2030 renewable targets six years ahead of schedule, according to a state-owned research body’s forecasts.

A solar system should work for at least 25-30 years. To keep it well-functioning, you must maintain it throughout its lifespan. You can buy an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) to have trained professionals regularly check it. Here’s how to maintain a rooftop solar system for long life and top performance.

La energía solar se ha consolidado como una de las fuentes renovables más prometedoras y en constante evolución.

Solar and wind projects are on course to make up more than 33% of global energy capacity by 2030, the Rocky Mountain Institute reports.

A sweltering heatwave has gripped Texas over the last two weeks, pushing temperatures to 115°F in parts of the state—but its status as a new leader in the development of solar power has reportedly protected many in the state from a catastrophic loss of power. An intense heat dome—in which an area of high pressure traps heat underneath it—has settled over northern Mexico and is expected to persist next week and potentially beyond, likely causing the heat index to reach high into the 100s across Texas and top 120° in the southern part of the state in the coming days.

Due in part to strong Q1 2023 numbers and a demand surge, the US solar market is now expected to triple by 2028, according to a new report.

The IEA estimated that $2.8 trillion will be invested in energy globally this year, with clean energy accounting for $1.7 trillion.

People ask me why I’m always smiling at environmental events. When I look back at the past 20 years and see how far we’ve come in California, how could I not smile? A few weeks ago, I plugged in a huge solar roof on a 180,000 square foot warehouse at the port in Los Angeles. It was made possible by California's million solar roofs initiative.

Governments worldwide are encouraging private companies to move away from fossil fuels and invest heavily in green energy and related technologies. In doing so, they are also trying to expand the consumer market, pushing the public to accept a movement away from fossil fuels, such as the natural gas used for heating water and houses, to green alternatives, such as wind, solar, geothermal, and green hydrogen power.

Last year, the world built more new solar capacity than every other power source combined. Solar is now growing much faster than any other energy technology in history. How fast? Fast enough to completely displace fossil fuels from the entire global economy before 2050.

When Joe Seaman-Graves, the city planner for the working class town of Cohoes, New York, Googled the term “floating solar,” he didn’t even know it was a thing. What he did know is that his tiny town needed an affordable way to get electricity and had no extra land. But looking at a map, one feature stood out.

Organic solar cells show great promise for clean energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules made from organic semiconductors do not maintain their efficiency for long enough under sunlight for real world applications. Scientists have now revealed an important reason why organic solar cells rapidly degrade under operation. This new insight will drive the design of more stale materials for organic semiconductor-based photovoltaics, thus enabling cheap and renewable electricity generation.

In its quest for green energy, Europe is looking to North Africa, where vast solar and wind farms are proliferating and plans call for submarine cables that will carry electricity as far as Britain. But this rush for clean power is raising serious environmental concerns.
