Introduction Solar energy is no longer a futuristic concept in Nigeria; it has become an essential component of homes, businesses, and microgrid systems. Nigeria boasts some of the highest solar potential in the world, with average solar irradiation levels of…
In episode 83 of The AI Fix, Graham reveals he’s taken up lying to LLMs, and shows how a journalist exposed AI bluffers with a made-up idiom. Meanwhile Mark invents a “Godwin’s Law” for AI, and explains how to ruin…
The US will control the sale of oil from Venezuela indefinitely, according to US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, as reported by the AFP news agency. “We are going to market the crude oil that comes out of Venezuela. First, the…
Relatively new recycling outfit Comstock Metals announced it has received permission from Nevada environmental departments to process solar panels at its materials recovery facility in Silver Springs, Nevada. Comstock also received approval for an air quality control permit this week.…
By Martin McConnell January 9, 2026 Technical and marketing studies firm Zhar Research has released its 2025-26 market research report on the long duration energy storage (LDES) market. Covering the years 2026-2046, the report promises “the reality about LDES,” complete…
In this Q&A, she discusses the major trends and challenges in Germany, as well as the wider European energy storage market. The German market moved into a new era of scale last year, with construction on 700MWh projects launched by…
Abstract:Promising new receiver-reactor concepts with multiple apertures have been proposed for high temperature solar thermochemical hydrogen production. However, limited information about suitable solar concentrator designs consisting of heliostat fields and secondary concentrators is available so far.The goal of this study…
A Data-Driven Guide to Solar Energy Systems in Nigeria In Nigeria, the daily struggle for reliable electricity has led many households and businesses to seek alternatives to the national grid and fuel-powered generators. Solar energy is emerging as one of…
A new paper from researchers at PROMES-CNRS in France presents a control strategy to reliably deliver a precise thermal power from concentrated solar to meet industrial heat requirements. The objective was to design a proof-of-concept algorithm for operating a concentrated…
Around a fifth of solar panels examined in a new study fail much faster than expected and some may last for only half their anticipated lifetime. Graph showing the long tail problem of PV degradation rates. Image Credit: Yang Tang,…
