Organic cathode for high-energy, fast-charging lithium-ion batteries

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a new organic cathode material with an energy density higher than most cobalt-based cathodes. It can charge–discharge in as little as six minutes. Automaker Lamborghini has licensed the patent for the technology.

Solar is a team sport

How amplified quality incidents can send ripples through the industry, affecting solar perception and adoption.

Building not your average dream home: The roof

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that areas in the totality, where the moon completely blocks the sun, will see a 100% loss in solar generation for the duration of the totality.

Solar canopies to help IRA-driven energy transition

With so much of the space in United States cities allocated for parking, the dual pronged approach of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – production tax credits to drive investment in domestic manufacturing and investment tax credits to attract consumer-side investment – means solar canopies can make a huge contribution to the net zero drive.

The wild side of rooftop solar

While keeping rooftop solar panels clean and regularly maintained can deter most unwelcome visitors, householders may sometimes have to take more concrete measures to avoid wildlife taking up residence.

EPCs and solar developers share top 5 concerns and opportunities

Leveraging partnerships can help overcome challenges such as supply chain and price volatility as well as embracing opportunities such as meeting domestic content requirements.

NYC solar mecca created by policies and incentives

At the close of 2023, the city passed a series of zoning amendments, as part of Mayor Adams’ ‘City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality’ initiative, which will relax burdensome zoning restrictions on solar development.

Red Sea tensions set to drive up solar module prices

The costs of transporting a container from China to Rotterdam have already almost tripled due to ongoing tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Houthi militants have been attacking merchant ships there for weeks, preventing them from entering the Red Sea and transiting through the Suez Canal.

Has the U.S. caught up with European agrivoltaic deployment?

With so much more agricultural real estate than Europe, the United States is building on the body of research and rolling out solar panels on farmland at an impressive rate.
