Plant diversity under PV modules rivals grassland at Japanese solar park

Plant diversity under PV modules rivals grassland at Japanese solar park

Uncategorized / By

Researchers surveying a 55 MW solar plant on a former golf course in central Japan found that plant diversity under the panels was statistically indistinguishable from open grassland, with communities resembling forest edges, after five years of only twice-yearly mowing.

Heterojunction solar cell built with biomass lignin-based silver paste achieves 25.96% efficiency

Heterojunction solar cell built with biomass lignin-based silver paste achieves 25.96% efficiency

Uncategorized / By

Chinese researchers have developed a biomass lignin-based silver paste for HJT solar cells that reduces reliance on petroleum-based resins and improves electrical performance. The optimized paste increased solar cell efficiency from 25.01% to 25.96% while improving printability, adhesion, and conductivity.

Saudi 250MW solar PV site is base for endangered species breeding programme

Uncategorized / By

A seven-month proof-of-concept was launched in October 2025, involving several species, and sand gazelles were selected for their ecological importance and suitability for the site’s environment. Thirty-eight sand gazelles were introduced into the solar plant in May 2026, and are expected to produce offspring by December this year. Population modelling by the Reserve’s Scientific Services

X-energy and its helium-cooled nuclear reactors

Uncategorized / By

X-energy is developing small modular reactors to satisfy some of the planet’s most power-hungry users: industrial manufacturers that need high temperatures to produce billions of tons of concrete, plastics, fibers, and chemicals. Solar panels and wind turbines are great at producing electricity but what heavy industry also needs is raw heat—and lots of it. The manufacture

Coloured solar panels hold potential for NZ vegetable growers

Coloured solar panels hold potential for NZ vegetable growers

Uncategorized / By

A renewable energy researcher says coloured solar panels have “tremendous” potential for New Zealand vegetable growers. Published in Cell Reports Physical Science, a Swedish study has found broccoli grows well beneath magenta-coloured solar panels, although the vegetable takes 25 days longer to get to full size and has lower levels of micronutrients.
