The summer solar surge is here for many. The challenge now is not scale, but flexibility

The summer solar surge is here for many. The challenge now is not scale, but flexibility

This shift is already visible. Since the US-Israel conflict in the Middle East began, one German renewable energy firm saw inquiries for solar panels rise by 30%, while the UK saw solar panels fitted on rooftops roughly every three minutes. Although this is good news, the challenge is that renewable energy generation is now accelerating

Giving away excess daytime solar for free

Giving away excess daytime solar for free

Australia is turning excess midday solar into a consumer benefit through free “solar sharer” electricity tariffs, enabling households to shift loads, charge batteries and EVs, and cut energy bills dramatically. With rooftop solar, storage, electrification, and smarter tariffs, Australia is showing how market innovation can integrate large amounts of renewable energy at low cost… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/17/giving-away-excess-daytime-solar-for-free/

August’s solar eclipse inspires science involving jets, balloons and Einstein’s general theory of relativity

August’s solar eclipse inspires science involving jets, balloons and Einstein’s general theory of relativity

On August 12 the sky will go dark for just two minutes and 18 seconds, at longest, across a swath of the world that includes Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain—and scientists everywhere will be scrambling to gather as much data as they possibly can. Total solar eclipses offer rare and brief opportunities to learn new

Solar PV offers significant untapped potential for Finland

Solar PV offers significant untapped potential for Finland

Despite its high-latitude, Finland is poised to build nearly 70 GW solar PV that complements rich wind power resources and outcompetes new nuclear power. A stream of energy system research reveals how the “midnight sun” and deep sector coupling makes solar PV the unexpected summer backbone of the Nordic nation’s carbon-neutral future to form a

Astronomers Discover Four New White Dwarfs in Solar Neighborhood

Astronomers Discover Four New White Dwarfs in Solar Neighborhood

Using near-UV spectroscopic data from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers discovered four white dwarfs orbiting nearby red dwarf stars. These binary systems are all located within 20 parsecs (65 light-years) of the Sun, and one of the white dwarfs is the ninth closest to our star. An
