Demystifying the myths about Solar

Solar energy is a topic that has received a lot of attention in recent years, and for good reason. It offers a clean and sustainable source of power that can significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to help combat climate change. However, despite its many benefits, there are still some common myths and misconceptions about solar energy that persist.

The dawn of Solarpunk: Cultivating a Sustainable Tomorrow

Much like the revolutions of the past, Solarpunk embodies the spirit of our times, leveraging innovative ideas and modern technology to reshape our interaction/relationship with energy, nature, and society. In a Solarpunk Utopia, society is a tapestry of interconnected communities. People are not just consumers, but active participants in the nurturing of our planet.

The Economic Model of Solar Net-Metering

In the pursuit of a sustainable and environmentally conscious future, the solar economic model of net-metering has emerged as a transformative force in the energy landscape.

Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources that provide a multitude of benefits, ranging from reducing carbon emissions, to fostering energy independence, and creating jobs.

3 Benefits of Solar Energy

Benefits of Solar energy

The question is, is there a way that the world’s increasing energy needs can be addressed while simultaneously fighting the predicament of climate change? The simple answer is yes! Among other clean and renewable energy resources, solar power is sustainable and easily accessible making it one of the most promising solutions.

Addressing Intermittency

Renewable energy technologies are often popularly dismissed as suitable for baseload generation based on their intermittency – their variability paired with their unpredictability. Energy storage mitigates this issue by converting surplus power to storable forms. Learn more about the fascinating energy storage technologies that are addressing renewable intermittency.

Recycling Solar

Are solar panels actually good for the environment if we can’t recycle them and they are only destined to pile up in the landfill? How this statement is projected reflects a persistent myth regarding solar – that the panels cannot be recycled. The truth is that they can.

EV Charging – Good for business

Commercial EV Charging is preparing forward-thinking businesses, developments, and municipalities for the future of transportation. As electric vehicle prices begin to compete with their ICE (internal combustion engine) peers, EVs are becoming a natural way to transition from fossil fuels to clean energy.

How Does Solar Work?

As long as we’ve been in the business of solar energy, we keep getting asked one question: How do solar cells work? In short, solar cells are energy converters. At the most basic level, they absorb the energy from sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. That is the simplest answer, but with just a little physics we can gain a deeper understanding.
