After a 20-year roller coaster ride, the US startup Aptera is gearing up for series production of EVs that can run on their own solar power. https://cleantechnica.com/2026/08/04/solar-powered-ev-aptera-qualifies-california-hov-lanes/ #evs #electricvehicles #electriccars #autocycles #solarpower #solarcar #solarev #solarenergy #cleanenergy #greenenergy #renewabeleenergy #renewables #sustainable #sustainability #automotive #startups #us #transportation #mobility #decarbonization #zeroemission

"Most of the new #solar installations recorded in the government’s official figures are on household rooftops, although these smaller solar systems make up slightly less than a third of the country’s total solar power capacity."

🌞 Choosing the right solar system starts with understanding your energy needs—not just comparing prices. Before investing, consider: ✅ Your average monthly electricity usage ✅ Available roof space ✅ Battery backup requirements ✅ Inverter compatibility ✅ Product warranties and after-sales support A well-planned solar installation can improve efficiency and provide long-term savings. Explore solar products, compare options, and learn more at https://solarbazaar.io/ #SolarEnergy #SolarPower

A Floating Solar Farm In The Netherlands Is Having A Big Effect On Underwater Habitats - BGR

This solar farm was designed to promote biodiversity through the installation of Biohuts – shelters and food sources for smaller fish – under the panels.

Over 30 years ago we were one of the first in our area to obtain a small PV panel. It cost a months wages and produced 45W. Now, for a similar amount of inflation adjusted money, we have just installed 4KW of panels and 10Kw/h of battery storage and have been independent of the mains since installation in early April. Yesterday we passed 1MWh of electricity production! #solar #solarpower #solarenergy #pv #photovoltaic #selfsufficiency

You've been lied to. A tale in two graphs. https://projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-capture-cant-solve-climate-change/ #climatechange #carboncapture #solarenergy

False Promises: The “Solution” to the Climate Crisis That Won’t Work

As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. While carbon capture may sound practical, there is no conceivable way it can work.

What if cutting your electric bill was as simple as hanging a lightweight solar panel on your balcony and plugging it into a wall outlet? As utility costs keep climbing, a growing “balcony solar” movement is giving renters and homeowners a new way to generate their own power. #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyCosts #ClimateSolutions #GreenLiving #Sustainability #SolarEnergyhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/27/balcony-solar-panels-rising-utility-costs

What if neighbours worked together to make solar, battery backup, and home electrification easier and more affordable? I'm exploring a community-led model for Ottawa that focuses on transparency, resilience, and reducing costs through neighbourhood-scale adoption. No sales pitches. No exclusive vendors. Just neighbours helping neighbours make informed decisions. https://mgifford.github.io/neighbourhood-solar/ #Ottawa #SolarEnergy #ClimateAction #EnergyResilience #OpenSource

Neighbourhood Solar helps Ottawa residents form local purchasing cohorts for independently owned home-energy upgrades. It complements existing advice, financing and utility programs by making contractor proposals easier to request and compare.
