AAP: An aeroplane powered solely by energy from the sun is headed across the Atlantic on one of the longest legs of the first-ever flight around the globe without using a drop of fuel. The spindly, single-seat Solar Impulse 2 left John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 2.30am local time on Monday on a trip expected to take up to 90 hours, the 15th leg of its round-the-world journey. Swiss aviators Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg have been taking turns piloting the plane, which has more...

Overseeing the operation and coordinating its documentation with a film crew was Greenpeace campaigner Melina Laboucan-Massimo. "It's a big system," the 34-year-old Cree Lubicon woman told VICE from the job site last August. "It will probably be one of the biggest solar installations in...

Renew Economy: The largest Concentrated Solar Power (CPS) project to be built on a single site in the world will begin power generation in Dubai within the next five years, officials announced on Thursday. The long view is that the new CPS site will generate 1,000 megawatts (MW) of power by 2030 as part of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy to generate 75 per cent of Dubais power from clean energy by 2050. Concentrated solar power is generated by circular rings of solar mirrors called heliostats that direct...

Nations Largest Residential Solar Storage Project to Launch This Summer
2016-06-17 16:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: This summer, hundreds of homes Brooklyn and Queens will be recruited in an experiment to create a "clean virtual power plant" that feeds the utility grid with solar energy. New York utility Consolidated Edison (ConEd) is partnering with solar companies SunPower and Sunverge on a $15 million pilot program that offers high-efficiency rooftop PV panels plus a lithium-ion battery to more than 300 participating homeowners in the two New York City boroughs. The aim is to build a mini power plant...
