Solar panels plus farming? Agrivoltaics explained. Could combining solar panels plus farming be a viable solution to the growing demand for food production and energy demand? Let’s take a closer look at electrifying our crops (not literally electrifying crops) … well, adding solar to our farm land as well as some of the side benefits... Continue Reading →
“Realists” argue that climate plans need to accommodate oil and gas, but that only perpetuates the climate crisis Toward the end of 2022, I was a panelist at a session on climate change held by a major scientific society. Near the end of the session, a prominent scientist declared that we needed to be “realistic”:... Continue Reading →

Abstract Green hydrogen produced by water splitting using renewable energy is the most promising energy carrier of the low-carbon economy. However, the geographic mismatch between renewables distribution and freshwater availability poses a significant challenge to its production. Here, we demonstrate a method of direct hydrogen production from the air, namely, in situ capture of freshwater... Continue Reading →
Hydrogen production from the air
"Our device shows excellent scalability at a low fabrication cost, says Tan Swee Ching. "Compared to other MEG structures and devices, our invention is simpler and easier for scaling-up integrations and connections." (Credit: Jacob Joaquin/Flickr) Researchers have created a self-charging, ultra-thin device that generates electricity from air moisture. Imagine being able to generate electricity by...

Flexible, super thin device generates electricity from air moisture
Researchers say their prototype produces hydrogen with greater than 99% purity and works in air as dry as 4% relative humidity Donna Lu Researchers have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen fuel directly from moisture in the air. According to its inventors, the prototype produces hydrogen with greater than 99% purity and can work... Continue Reading →
Out of thin air: new solar-powered invention creates hydrogen fuel from the atmosphere
Solar panels aren’t just found on rooftops and solar farms anymore — there are now numerous portable solar modules on the market for camping, RVs, and emergency preparedness. You can buy solar chargers with a small solar panel and battery to charge devices, larger DIY kits that can power an RV, and solar generators for... Continue Reading →

The Challenges of a Wind Turbine on Your Home
The truth about a wind turbine on your home. We’ve seen wind turbines popping up everywhere in the last few years for grid scale renewable energy installations. Solar panels for home has been a disruptive technology, but what if we could scale down wind turbines and install them on our home? In theory it sounds... Continue Reading →
A Smarter Way to Add SOLAR to Your Roof | Solar Shingles
One of the reasons that people don't want solar panels is that they are considered to be ugly. I don' think so, especially if the roof is designed to accommodate them. If you live in one of those communities that do not allow solar panels then you need to check out this video. These are... Continue Reading →
