Through an arrangement with the Indian Parliament, the Punjab Energy Development Agency has invited bids for installing an 80 kW solar PV system. The solar array would provide battery backup for the Parliament building in the off-chance of a blackout, however over 50 percent of the generated power would be fed back into the grid. The project would help promote the use of solar PV systems which remain unpopular due to the high costs and lower efficiency when compared to other…

A brand new, cutting-edge hybrid solar collector, which incorporates both photovoltaic (PV) power generation with solar water heating, is taking the renewable energy industry by storm. The concept originated from the *Task 35, a task group from International Energy Agency that aims to spur the development and market introduction of high quality and commercially-competitive PV-T hybrid systems. The focus in a PV-T hybrid…

“Deep Green”, an innovative advancement in hydropower developed by Swedish start-up Minesto, has recently acquired €2 million ($2.5 million) from investors for research and development beginning early next year. Described as an “underwater kite”, the technology consists of a turbine attached to a wing and rudder that is secured to the ocean floor by 100 meters of cable. According to Minesto, anchoring “Deep Green” and steering the fastened “kite” allows the turbine…

An avant-garde technology is being implemented into wind turbines and solar panels which may potentially offer secure energy storage even when wind and sunlight is not readily available. By allowing electricity to be stored while environmental elements are out of reach, giant-sized batteries made with gravel are anticipated to improve renewable energy generation and will dampen constant criticism of opponents who claim that the renewable energy technology is not…
