Lower costs and battery technology offer hope – but industry says it needs support
Climate watchdog raps government for missing decarbonisation plans
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has rebuked the government for failing to deliver a pipeline of decarbonisation policies across several sectors, stressing that the time for it to address climate matters is running out.Today the independent watchdog has issued its annual progress report to government, providing an update on measures taken by the government
Solar Storage Systems Have Finally Hit The Mainstream
Amid a rush of global offerings, solar storage systems are now commonplace and much improved, writes Melissa Hancock There was no shortage of innovative products and services vying for attention at this year’s Intersolar held in Munich from 20-22 June but it was arguably both the prevalence and prominence of new solar storage system solutions
Black to gold: The oil & gas majors plotting course for solar
An unavoidable transition towards cleaner power solutions is occurring. And as that transition accelerates, the companies that have historically dominated global energy markets through fossil fuel exploration and extraction are having to move with it.This has led to something of a tectonic shift in approach, with solar now a priority destination for investment. Both Shell

How your home could generate, store and sell energy
As we move towards renewables in our efforts to decarbonise our economies, energy storage is becoming increasingly important. Could householders become an integral part of national electricity networks?When Adam Courtney decided he wanted to reduce the energy bills at his “not particularly energy efficient” Grade II listed house in Godmanchester, England, solar panels were the
Residential Energy Storage: The Other Shoe
There are a number of reasons to expect residential storage will continue to break records in 2018.
Energy Storage Wars: The Next Big Thing In The Power Sector
In order to combat the devastating effects of climate change and ensure a clean future for coming generations, massive investments and research are being undertaken in renewable energy solutions. Arguably, numerous advances have been made in solar and wind power – but these systems have a major drawback: they are most effectively used when the
The Transition Trinity: Electric Car, Solar and Home Battery
The Global Energy Transition often seems to be about big infrastructure projects, like offshore windfarms and grid battery storage. However, what’s happening at the home level is arguably more important, in terms of the impact on the individual and on the future requirements for national grids.
