How innovations in energy storage technology support climate goals
Blackouts due to climate change related events are becoming commonplace. Energy storage can provide grid stability and eliminate CO2 but it needs to be more economical to achieve scale. We explore the technologies that can expedite deployment, ensure safety
How Long Does It Take For Solar Panels To Pay For Themselves?
Anyone considering investing in solar panels will of course expect that it will be a while before they have paid for themselves by producing valuable electricity. How long it will take to reach breakeven depends on many factors: The
Renewables made record-breaking 43.1% share of UK power generation in 2020
Renewables made up a 43.1% share of UK power generation in 2020, generating more electricity than fossil fuels in the year. This is the first time renewables have beat fossil fuels since the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
UK and Ireland among five nations most likely to survive a collapse of global civilisation, study suggests
Researchers say a worldwide breakdown could happen "within a few decades" and have identified five countries most likely to withstand future threats. The UK and Ireland are among five nations most likely to survive a collapse of global civilisation, researchers
Misconceptions continue to deter solar adoption as 13.8% believe PV to be costlier than fossil fuels
New research from Project Solar UK has found that a massive education campaign is required to tackle climate change, with misconceptions around solar remaining. Project Solar UK commissioned Censuswide to survey 1,000 consumers, with this data then multiplied by Office
For The U.S. To Become Carbon Neutral, Long-Term Energy Storage Is A Must
The Biden administration is pushing its Energy Earthshots Initiative that aims to accelerate innovation and bring life-changing products to market. That involves “long-term energy storage,” which could radically alter the way electricity is produced and consumed by permanently tipping the
Storage paired with solar shows steady growth, Berkeley Lab says
The report pegged the cost of adding storage to PV on the order of $700-1,300/kWh of storage capacity and the present-value benefit to the host customer of roughly $500-1,000/kWh. Berkeley Lab’s Behind-the-Meter Solar+Storage: Market Data and Trends report said that
