Just try to count the batteries that you use every day — I bet you use over a dozen battery-operated devices by lunchtime. They have become so ubiquitous that our civilization would grind to a halt if we didn’t have these portable forms of power.

One claim against solar and wind power is that they cause fossil fuel power plants to release significantly more emissions as they cycle electric production up and down to balance the load of electricity on the grid. A new study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) essentially calls that concern hogwash and dispels the myth — again.
Over the next two weeks the Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon takes place in Irvine, California. Members of the media got a sneak-peek walkthrough yesterday at how 19 teams have translated their visions for energy efficiency, solar energy, and a l…

With no end in sight to the federal government shutdown — and worries mounting by the minute about its impact on the U.S. economy — what can the private sector do to help spur job creation and economic growth in the future? Here’s one good idea: The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has just released a comprehensive new report outlining
Analysis and quantification of PV system integration costs in key European markets shows that the widespread penetration of PV power in Europe between 2020 and 2030 can be accommodated at a relatively modest cost.

The U.S. Army is spending billions of dollars shifting toward solar energy, recycled water and better- insulated tents. The effort isn’t about saving the Earth.
Mandatory spending cuts triggered by the March 1st sequester (automatic spending cuts) in the U.S. are being felt across the renewable energy sector sparking fears that reduced federal investment could curtail research, development and commercializatio…
