Pairing solar power with battery storage is becoming the ultimate resilience strategy. As climate extremes multiply, reliable power is no longer guaranteed. In hurricane-prone regions like Florida and the Caribbean, extended blackouts can disrupt everything from refrigeration to communications. According to a 2025 Stanford University study, roughly 60% of U.S. households could cut their
Great British Energy has continued its rollout of solar to cut energy bills for public services, including panels for 70 more NHS sites. As part of an expanded scheme to fund solar panels for NHS sites, military sites and schools, 34 NHS trusts across England, including 10 already in programme, will receive funding from

More and more people are investing in solar panels for their homes. In the UK, over 1.5 million households have taken the leap, with installations growing by more than 10% year-on-year for the last three years, according to government data. There are many reasons for this. Solar panels can save us money on energy bills,
More than 2.5 million Americans depend on durable medical equipment, such as oxygen delivery systems, ventilators, and dialysis machines. For these vulnerable customers, even brief power interruptions can cause their equipment to malfunction, and longer outages can be life-threatening, if power isn’t restored quickly. Yet the U.S. power grid is aging and under increasing
Solar is surging as costs fall and firms scale projects, with the International Energy Agency projecting PV Solar to be the largest renewable by 2029 Solar is central to decarbonisation. Costs have fallen sharply and deployment has accelerated, with solar photovoltaic (PV) on track to become the largest renewable source by 2029 according to
HOUSTON (AP) — Doris Brown was nearly asleep when a neighbor knocked on her door, telling her to look outside. “There were no lights, nowhere,” said Brown, recalling the power outage that summer night in 2023. “I didn't even know it.” Brown's solar panel and battery system was keeping her power on. She'd prepared
It generates 500W when fully extended and can add 1,864 miles of driving range annually. As we've seen with Toyota's Prius Prime, putting a solar panel on a car's roof is a nifty idea but can only gain you a few free miles a day due to the limited size. With a new prototype
In 27 years’ time, society as we know it will have collapsed. Food will be extremely limited. Lawlessness will have taken over the land. Gangs will roam the countryside scavenging for resources like food, water and fuel. This breakdown won’t be sudden. It will happen over a period of months. It might even have
A couple say they have cut their energy bills by hundreds of pounds thanks to solar panels, and they hope to recoup the cost of the installation within a decade Solar panels were one of the first improvements Rich and Carla New made when they bought their forever home in much need of renovation
