Innovative photovoltaic technology could stabilise the EU energy
Large-scale deployment of innovative bifacial photovoltaic (PV) systems, oriented east and west instead of the conventional south-facing setup, could significantly help fix energy price swings, cut fossil fuel use, and strengthen Europe''s clean energy path, new research finds.. Traditional PV systems have been useful since their rise in the mid-2000s, but their

An update to the use of Starlink in the Falkland Islands. Part 2,
In Part 1, The Ascension Island story, the history of Starlink adoption on Ascension Island was outlined, although this story is far from finished.Part 2 focuses on Starlink in the Falkland Islands. Much has been written and discussed about Starlink in the islands'' media recently, as things seem to be coming to a head.
Photovoltaic energy systems: Summary of the JRC''s
2019 (9) foresees studies on energy savings potentials of PV panels and inverters. In particular, a preparatory study on sustainable product policy instruments for the product group ''solar photovoltaic panels, inverters and systems'' was launched in November 2017. The JRC.B5 unit is leading the study under an AA from DG GROW, with a specific
