Portable solar panels neatly ride the line between fallback options during a power outage and convenient sources of electricity on the go. Solar power is the fastest growing source of electricity in the US, and for good reason. In a world facing a rapidly changing climate and the unpredictable weather that comes with it, a self-sufficient source of power is a must these days.

If you want to get in on massive solar savings but don't want to install your own panels, community solar might be right for your household. Solar panels are practically magic, turning abundant sunshine into free energy. They save owners a ton of money over time — but they do come with up-front installation costs not everyone can afford.

This is the easiest way to massively lower your electric bill — with no rooftop panels needed

Do you know any self-righteous person who rarely apologizes? We all have different weaknesses and offend others once in a while. However, some zodiac signs’ pettiness and insecurity hinder them from seeking forgiveness when they cross someone’s path. Instead, they try to prove that they were right when they did something.

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart. It seems that customers at stores such as Walmart believe it's acceptable to grab perishable items, such as meat or dairy, and then place them on any available shelf if they decide they no longer want them.

With millions of Tesla vehicles sold in the US by now, more and more Teslas are inevitably going to be traded in for other vehicles by owners who decide they no longer want the car for one reason or another. And it may just be that these people wanted another vehicle that became available after they initially bought their Tesla. Now, with data from Edmunds, we have more insight into which vehicles Tesla owners who trade in their cars are trading them in for.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. A solar alliance of LONGi, one of the world’s largest solar technology companies, and Senergia, a leading Swedish wholesaler of solar energy, teamed up to support the Non-profit “Project Vita” by donating a solar-powered freshwater system for a maternity clinic in the village of Linga Linga in Mozambique. After constructing a water tower and installing LONGi solar panels on the roof of the clinic, the team was able to power a water pump that continuously fills the water tank, providing freshwater to the maternity clinic. The lack of fresh, running water remains a major problem in many parts of Africa. Sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to improving standards of living for people and at the same time decrease maternal and infant mortality. 58 babies have been born in the Linga Linga maternal clinic since the project was completed in May 2024.

One optimization strategy to provide backup storage for the power grid utilizes the electricity storage potential of the world’s electric vehicles (EV) and infrastructure. Today, battery racks of most EVs are used only a couple hours a day. Whenever an EV is idle, its approximately 1,000-pound battery pack (Figure 1) and the 50-KWh electric power it stores do nothing.

GM Defense, a subsidiary of General Motors, said it is providing commercial battery electric technology in support of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Pulsed Power and Energy Laboratory (PPEL) and Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD). The project, Evaluation of Electric Vehicle Batteries to Enable Directed Energy (EEVBEDE), is funded by the Operational Energy Innovation Office of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), through its Operational Energy Capability Improvement Fund (OECIF). GM Defense said UTA PPEL will evaluate the technology to understand the current capabilities of commercial automotive batteries under dynamic discharge and charge scenarios and the team’s evaluation of the technology will help provide pathways and options for domestically supplied energy storage for future use in military platforms.
