Researchers from two universities in China are developing a smart solar window capable of adjusting the transparency of the glazing and at the same time generate electricity by the way of photo voltaic. This technology is in its early stages and can be applied to buildings and vehicles.
Have a look at the article for further details and advancement of this new technology!
The Netherlands is researching new solutions to help solar parks have a positive impact on the land underneath. Solar parks are installed and designed to last for about 25 years. As a result of this process the reduction of sunlight has negative effects on the soil below.
Check out this article and learn about two new solutions being tested in the Netherlands that provide a 77% ground cover ratio for crops and almost 100% of the soil receives sufficient sunlight at a higher degree of coverage.
The Netherlands is definitely Thinking Greener!
