Solar panel efficiency measures how well a photovoltaic cell or panel converts sunlight into usable electricity, with higher efficiency translating into more power output for the same amount of sunlight. The efficiency of solar panels depends on several factors, but the intensity and spectrum of the sunlight playing a significant role in determining the efficiency of any photovoltaic solar panel
Geothermal heating is a viable alternative to the more traditional forms of fossil fuel heating using the vast thermal temperatures beneath our feet to heat and cool our homes since the ground temperatures don’t change much no matter how warm or cold or warm it gets outside. How deep is geothermal heating loops depends whether the loops are placed horizontally or vertically
Net zero emissions refer to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere and the amount that is removed. In simple terms, achieving net zero means that for every ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other greenhouse gases produced, an equivalent amount must be removed or offset through natural or technological processes.
Seaweed energy refers to the production of bioenergy from seaweed biomass. As a rapidly growing marine crop that requires no land, freshwater, or fertilisers, seaweed energy sources offer both environmental and economic benefits, and as the world continues to transition away from burning fossil fuels, seaweed is a promising solution for generating low-carbon clean, renewable biofuel energy.
Composting and recycling are both essential practices for a sustainable future. By reducing waste, conserving resources, and improving soil health, these practices can help to protect the environment and create a healthier planet for future generations. It is important to incorporate both composting and recycling into our daily lives to make a positive impact.
A battery energy storage system, or BESS is an efficient energy storage solution which can be used to provide renewable backup power using rechargeable secondary battery technologies. Among the many electrochemical, chemical, and physical energy storage devices currently available, the technologies that have receives the most attention are still batteries. Battery technologies for energy storage devices can be categorised on the basis of energy density, and charging and discharging capabilities
Photovoltaic efficiency is the ratio of the electric power produced by a photovoltaic solar cell to the amount of solar irradiance on the device. Photovoltaic solar cells are solid state devices made from various types of semiconductor materials that convert the sun’s light energy directly into electrical energy. Their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are a function of the light source, design their silicon based materials.
Geothermal energy is a clean, sustainable, and renewable energy source derived from the Earth’s internal heat. One of the primary means of harnessing this energy is through geothermal wells, which are critical for accessing the Earth’s geothermal resources. Geothermal wells are drilled to access geothermal reservoirs, which are pockets of hot water and steam trapped beneath the Earth’s surface. These wells can be several kilometres deep, depending on the location and the geothermal gradient of the region.
The ability of a renewable energy system to withstand high voltage disturbances and transients, a concept known as High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT), has emerged as a critical factor in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of solar power maintaining the stability of the power grid
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the effects of greenhouse gases on climate change have become a pressing concern. As we delve deeper into the complexities of global warming and the greenhouse effect, it becomes crucial to comprehend the intricate relationship between greenhouse gases and climate change
