It’s a bit tense here. We’re at an avocado farm near Puna Pau, a rock quarry used to mine for the hats on some of the moai. We’re reaching for rain hats at the moment, but after a few drops of rain it seems to have stopped. This is going to be a nail-biter. -- Jamie...
Solar panels catch energy directly from the sun and convert it into electricity. One of the world's largest solar power stations is located near Leipzig, Germany, where more than 33,000 solar panels generate enough energy to power about 1,800 homes. But unlike the burning ...
The authors hope that the plenitude of information collected in this paper can be helpful for all the people interested in this field, where significant research efforts are made in our times, and where radical improvements can be expected in a near future. Funding This research received no exte...
Even though the P&O strategy works well during the settled insolation, it too has few disadvantages of wavering near the MPP, a slow MPP tracking speed, and endures to locate the true MPP under partial shading conditions [13,16]. Therefore, an altered P&O technique has been proposed to conqu...
Signing up for a green power plan doesn't necessarily support clean energy development near you because the energy generation can be thousands of miles away from your home. With a green power plan, you buy renewable energy certificates, or RECs, so you can claim to run your home on renewabl...
Here we are in the Sahara, deep inside Morocco, somewhere near Mhamid close to the border with Algeria toward the end of a long tour around the northern edge of the Mediterranean. We cannot decide on which sights impacted us most in all our travels, but we did notice a shift over the ...
Solar power gardens set to be built near Meredosia, Murrayville later this yearBy Benjamin Cox on May 27, 2019 at 11:10amFour community solar projects will be constructed outside of Murrayville and Meredosia this year, providing energy credits to people who subscribe to the program. First ...

However, the tilt angle near 50 degrees presents higher performance between May-July. (3)Besides, the general trend of solar power on the solar collector heads in December, then dwarf in June. Table 7. Optimum tilt and azimuth angles by simulation approach. MonthsOptimum tiltOptimum azimuth...
Water ice has also been hypothesised to exist on the Moon in permanently shadowed craters near the poles (Spudis et al. 2013; Hayne et al. 2015), although a debate about alternative interpretations of data is on-going (Eke et al. 2014; Haruyama et al. 2013). Hydroxyl- and/or water-be...
