A photovoltaic Dyson sphere is a theoretical megastructure that could provide vast amounts of energy for interstellar space travel and large-scale technological endeavors.
Researchers in Canada compared strawberry growth under uniform illumination from semi-transparent thin-film cadmium telluride panels and non-uniform illumination from semi-transparent crystalline silicon modules.
BloombergNEF reports that the world installed nearly 600 gigawatts of solar power in 2024, closely aligning with projections that annual global solar installations will surpass 1 terawatt within the next few years. Although projections for 2025 currently fall short of that pace, early forecasts often underestimate actual deployment.
New research from Stanford University has investigated the performance limits of transition metal dichalcogenide solar cells for indoor energy harvesting intended for powering internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors. The analysis showed these cells may reach a power conversion efficiency of up to 36.5%.
“A wide array of resources is needed” to meet growing electricity demand, including hundreds of gigawatts of solar and wind capacity that can be deployed quickly but would be reduced by half without tax credits, says a report prepared for ConservAmerica.
Distributed solar fell 11% in 2024, dragged down by the residential segment, according to Ohm Analytics’s Q4-2024 report. However, signs of recovery emerged with a strong fourth quarter and increasing installation volumes throughout the year.
A report by American Clean Power Association calls for improved energy efficiency, an all-of-the-above strategy and rapid policy reform that will address interconnection and permitting delays.
Energy storage prices saw slight declines in late 2024, but a new wave of tariffs and trade rulings is likely to reshape pricing in the months ahead.
Enverus report says battery storage increasingly crucial for maintaining grid stability.
