Everyday, people all over the world are working on new solutions to help reverse climate change. An Italian scientist is experimenting with a promising sustainable solution that uses renewable energy for powering a heat pump to replace gas or oil for domestic heating. This hybrid system combines a photovoltaic thermal unit with a vapor compression heat pump providing hot water and heating applications for use within buildings while increasing the efficiency of the PV system.
Here is the link to the article that is published in PV Magazine.
One of Think Greener’s favorite places to explore was the Netherlands that has strong emphasis on a modern sustainable economy, free market and is viewed as pioneers of capitalism. This article speaks about a Dutch pilot project that will combine renewable energy in the form of solar with row farming and touches on the need to expand UK’s EV charging station to meet the 2030 ban of new car sales using gas and diesel.
Thinking Greener With Solar & Row Farming!
New advancement for an old technology that will help the world achieve carbon neutrality. Thankfully, the solar industry is in high demand and the price per watt continues to drop allowing for photovoltaic (PV) solar technology to compete with the cheap cost of oil and gas.
As America continues to grow independent of other countries technology and resources, it increases job opportunities within the green sector. There is a large solar manufacture here in the US banking on moving away from the dominant crystalline silicon solar panel that is produced mainly in China and covers most rooftops, open land, and deserts around the world.
Cadmium telluride solar technology is a thin film that can be flexible if needed and has been around for some time.… Continue reading
New PV solar solution being implemented by German company. The unique, arched PV design will allow for the array to slide on a railed system offering greater flexibility for the ground beneath to be exposed to the sun for the needs of the crop. This adds to the meaning of regenerative agriculture! The solar array above can offer crops and animals protection from the harsh environment or extreme weather conditions such as hail, excess exposure to sunlight and drought allowing the harvest to be optimized. This process can be easily automated if desired.
Check out the article for further details. This new technology is expected to be available in the beautiful Netherlands come 2022.
