On Sept. 5, 1977, Voyager 1 began its epic journey through deep space with a glorious morning launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Voyager 1 initially launched on a mission to explore the outer planets. After flying by Jupiter and Saturn in 1979 and 1980, the spacecraft took a sharp turn and started heading straight out
The projects will use Inox’s Vega Series bifacial modules, available in single-glass and dual-glass configurations and using the company’s Galaxion N-type PV cells. Inox said the agreement reflects demand for modules manufactured and sourced to meet US domestic-content and supply-chain requirements. “This 767MW agreement represents a significant milestone for Inox Solar Americas and demonstrates the

The paper was submitted as part of a consultation on the BMWE’s 8th Energy Research Programme, the mechanism for public funding of energy R&D projects in Germany. The programme has run since 2023 and sets criteria for companies, universities and research institutes seeking funds for energy research. ISC Konstanz is urging the BMWE to give

Congress did something right last summer. The One Big Beautiful Bill ended the open-ended tax credits for wind and solar. A project must break ground by July 4, 2026, or be operating by the end of 2027, or it gets nothing. Yet Congress left a gaping loophole. It preserved the same rich subsidy for grid

Reaching another star within a practical amount of time will require something far more capable than chemical rockets. One of the leading ideas is a solar sail, a large reflective structure that can be pushed by light. If extremely powerful lasers are aimed at such a sail, they could accelerate it to speeds well beyond
Interstellar solar sails hit a strange problem at 75% of light speed Read More »
Latest Applicants will have until 8 October to bid for DOE funding. Image: European Space Agency. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a US$12 million research and development (R&D) fund that will support projects that will lower the cost, and expand domestic manufacturing, of solar panels for use in space. Led by the

Latest US module production is at near saturation, but bottlenecks exist further up the supply chain. Image: Qcells. If Part 1 of this series established that the United States is not short of PV manufacturing capacity announcements, the second article asks a narrower and more useful question: where in the chain does that capacity exist,
Part 2: Mapping the gaps in the US solar supply chain – from polysilicon to modules Read More »
Under the terms of the agreement, Westbridge will receive an upfront cash payment at closing, together with additional milestone payments. The total receivables could reach CAD$26.7 (US$19.3 million). Although the name of the company acquiring the project was not disclosed, three years ago, Westbridge had entered into an agreement with Greek developer Metlen Energy &
