2023-12-18 Solaria Acquires 500MW PV Modules For Euro .093/W
That seems to be about $40 for a 400 Watt panel. I just wish the average consumer could buy 2 dozen of them for that much. That’s less than a thousand dollars! Solaria acquires 500 MW of photovoltaic modules for €0.093/W, a price at historic lows

2023-11-17 UAE – World’s Largest Single-site Solar Farm
2 gigawatts divided by 4,000,000 panels equals 500 watts per panel. They must be large solar panels. They also talk about “clean coal” and other fossil fuels. This is greenwashing if they don’t give up fossil fuels. Quote: “”The 2-gigawatt (GW) solar farm is 22 miles (35 km) from Abu Dhabi and features almost 4

2023-11-07 Solar Floatovoltaics In The Ocean
Matt Undecided talks about solar PV floating on the ocean – it’s already being developed and scaled up in some countries. The big benefits are the solar panels stay cooler so they gain 4 to 7% in efficiency. And the panels reduce evaporation, saving water. And no land is needed or used. YouTube video.
2023-11-01 V2G Vehicle To Grid – Engineering With Rosie Australia
Things are different in Australia, but eventually the V2G will become common in America soon. Also VPP – virtual power plant, which combines many residential solar storage systems into a virtual power plant. This is being done right now in California. What is really heartbreaking is there has been so much badmouthing about EVs –

2023-10-24 Renewables Article Full Of Lies & Hypocrisy!
Andreas Lindström This “realclearinvestigations” article is full of lies and hypocrisies. Quote from article:“”Hyped as technological marvels, EVs are boobytrapped with a host of inconveniences and tradeoffs. By now many people have heard about range anxiety, exploding lithium-ion batteries, and the environmental destruction caused by global mining for battery minerals.”” Last first. The amount of
