India Needs 10 GWh of Battery Storage Now to Stop Coal’s Inflexibility Wasting Clean Power
Batteries are the fastest fix to make room for India’s midday solar surge as coal-based power plants are unable to ramp down far enough for the same India needs around 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery storage immediately to stop renewable energy curtailment when the s coal fleet cannot ramp down … [continued]

Perovskite-Silicon Solar Cells Meet Matrix Shingled Interconnection Collaboration between Oxford PV & Fraunhofer ISE
Oxford PV and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have combined two high-efficiency technologies in a single photovoltaic module. To achieve this, they used perovskite-silicon solar cells from Oxford PV and connected them using the Matrix Shingle technology developed by Fraunhofer ISE. Oxford PV is a pioneer in … [continued]

Is AI Doomed To Fail?
In 1995, computer scientist Niklaus Wirth published the article “A Plea for Lean Software” in the magazine Computer. Its thesis seems to suggest that AI based on neural networks may be doomed to fail, not because of a lack of electrical energy, but because of software inefficiency. The experience of … [continued]

As Kenya’s Electric Motorcycle Ecosystem Grows, Local Firms Are Starting to Specialise and Forge Interesting Partnerships With Large Global Firms
Kenya’s electric motorcycle sector is starting to blossom now as several firms move from initial commercialisation of their products to full commercialisation, and scaling up their operations. In the beginning, several startups moved to validate their models using electric motorcycles built with off-the-shelf battery cells, BMS, controllers, motors, and other … [continued]

Sunshine & Heat Pumps — How Greece Does Net Zero
It’s always fun and inspiring to see how other cultures are finding their way out of fossil fuels and towards a resilient, renewable future. This summer, while traveling in Greece, I saw very similar net zero technologies and strategies to those we have in the US (which center around PV, … [continued]
