ThinkProgress: The world added more renewable energy capacity than ever before last year, despite tumbling prices for fossil fuels, a new report has found. An estimated 147 gigawatts of renewable capacity was added in 2015, the largest annual increase ever, the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21) said in its most recent report, unveiled Tuesday. For perspective, one gigawatt is enough energy to power Walt Disney World for nearly 17 days. Solar and wind energy saw record additions...

The Greens clean energy policy would put $192m for solar into schools, establish a solar ombudsman who would enforce a right to solar for renters and force energy companies to write-down pole and wire assets. The Greens would also put $5m into an information...

The Modi government has also set a target of installing 100 GW of solar power by 2022, which seems ambitious given that the existing solar capacity is only 6.9 GW. But nothing is impossible, and the best way to do that...

CoExist: It's easy to get a cheap solar panel in Uganda. You just pay a small deposit via a mobile phone and you can take home the equipment immediately. You install the system yourself and pay off the lease as if you were buying pay-as-you-go phone credit. This simplicity explains why San Francisco-based Fenix International has signed up 65,000 customers for its ReadySet battery and PV system in three years. By partnering with the country's leading phone operator, MTN, it's able to piggyback on a mature...

CleanTechnica: You would never expect the peaceful Lehigh Valley to be hosting a high-tech superstar of the 21st century. However, the areas coal mines and steel plants ushered in the American Industrial Revolution. Philadelphia and New York lie within a 100-mile radius, and the sub-Appalachian hills are the fastest-growing region in Pennsylvania. CleanTechnica reporters in the valley found that it also houses many light planes and a small airport designated international only a year ago. On weekends and...
