Russian forces carried out a targeted attack on a solar power plant in Ukraine's rear for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, the head of Ukraine's state grid operator Ukrenergo, said at a press conference on April 4.
Rehabilitated farmland used for solar energy facilities that are planted with native wildflowers and grasses can create lush habitats for insects, birds and bees, a new study has found.
“An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analyzing ancient tree-rings found in the French Alps. The radiocarbon spike was caused by a massive solar storm, the biggest ever identified.”
The European Union, EU, has provided a financing of 3.1 million euros to “Les Soleils du Benin”, an energy company, in the framework of “Initiative de Financement l’Electrification [Electrification Financing Initiative], to provide electricity to 3,000 households in Benin.
Rystad Energy believes China could be on track for another record year in 2023, with expectations for more than 150 GW of new PV capacity. The Norwegian consultancy says the country could also potentially install 165 GW in 2024 and 170 GW in 2025.
Germany connected solar systems with a combined capacity of almost 1.2 GW to the power grid in July, hitting a new monthly record and bringing the total so
The World Bank is aiming to help fund construction of 1,000 mini solar power grids in Africa's biggest economy Nigeria in partnership with the government and private sector, the lender's president Ajay Banga said on Saturday.

A solar-to-hydrogen facility with a capacity of 12 gigawatts will be built in Mozambique by Jearrard Energy Resources and its subsidiaries in the first quarter of the upcoming year. The primary objective of this project is to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly energy solutions by generating approximately 4,000 tonnes of...
Scientists developed a novel, sun-activated catalyst that reduces reliance on rare metals and enhances the efficiency of esterification reactions, crucial for products like medicines and polymers. This breakthrough in chemical synthesis promises significant sustainability improvements.
Although the sun provides nearly all the energy needed to warm the planet, its contribution to climate change remains widely questioned. Many empirically based studies claim that it has a significant effect on climate, while others (often based on computer global climate simulations) claim that it has a small effect.
