Can solar storms trigger earthquakes? Scientists propose surprising link

Can solar storms trigger earthquakes? Scientists propose surprising link

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

Misaligned from the start: how quality assurance gaps in tracker and racking systems put solar projects at risk

Misaligned from the start: how quality assurance gaps in tracker and racking systems put solar projects at risk

But increasingly, field failures are being traced back to an overlooked source: the racking and tracker systems that support every module on site. These components don’t produce power, but they keep everything in place—holding modules at the right tilt, anchoring them against wind and protecting them from long-term wear and tear. Unlike modules, which come
