The Earth is getting hotter and the storms costlier. In March 2023, a hailstorm in Georgia damaged more than 13,000 vehicles at Kias West Point assembly plant. As the automaker sought a way to prevent this from happening again, it turned to Vehicle Protection Structures and the two worked on a hail protection project. The

A lead-halide perovskite crystal sample. Credit: ISTA Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a novel silver-staining technique, resolving a long-standing efficiency mystery. Perovskites made from lead halides are produced through low-cost solution processing and contain many defects. Even

Work involved installation of a 680 kWp rooftop solar PV system comprising 1,400 high-efficiency 490W modules, paired with 10 x 60kW SolaX string inverters and full TIGO optimisation across the arrays. Due to the site’s consistently high energy demand, 100% of the energy generated is consumed on site, with the system covering up to 30%

Omar Yaghi, a renowned chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, has pioneered a groundbreaking technology capable of producing up to 1,000 liters of clean drinking water per day directly from the air, even in regions with extremely low humidity levels of less than 20 percent. This innovation offers a potential solution to water scarcity
SolarPower Europe has released new technical due diligence guidelines for utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects, covering risk, engineering and lifecycle standards for co-located PV and battery systems. February 25, 2026 Pilar Snchez Molina Image: Sungrow SolarPower Europe has published two reports aimed at strengthening best practices for large-scale hybrid projects combining photovoltaics and battery energy storage systems.

Scientists at Kyoto University have developed a theoretical model examining whether disturbances in the ionosphere could apply electrostatic forces deep within the Earth’s crust. Under certain conditions, these forces might contribute to the start of large earthquakes. The research is not designed to forecast earthquakes. Instead, it outlines a possible physical mechanism showing how shifts
