Exploring everything within renewable energy like solar panels, wind turbines, hydro, geothermal energy, battery technology, and more.
Tesla made a huge splash in the solar panel world when they unveiled the latest version of the Tesla Solar Roof. But since then we haven't seen too much about it. Is it a bargain or a bust? Or are solar tiles about to go mainstream? I talked to Weddle & Sons Roofing to learn more about it from an in
With the growing popularity of solar and wind, we sometimes forget another powerful low-carbon energy source: nuclear. It can be a divisive topic, but there's a really interesting alternative to building out massive, expensive nuclear plants that's worth talking about: Small Modular Reactors. What a
Hydropower may not be The New Technology on the Block, but this old school tech may have a few tricks left in it. With other renewables like wind and solar gaining momentum, is there still room for growth? Are there any downsides hydropower has to address? And what about technology advancements ...
There's a lot of people that want to go solar, but just can't because of cost or they don't own a home where they can install it. What if there was a way for you to get the benefits of solar, but without needing to install solar on your roof?
It's been two years since I installed solar panels on my home in the Boston area. How's it been going? Let's take a look at how much it cost, how much it's saved, how it's been holding up and what type of maintenance it's taken.
The lithium ion battery is great. They power much of the world around us and in our pockets, but trying to scale the technology up for renewable energy grid battery storage is challenging. What if there was another way? A method that used air to store energy? This ... could change everything.
Tesla opened a fire hose of engineering, manufacturing, and battery advancements in their Battery Day event. Not to mention the new Plaid Model S and a future $25,000 electric vehicle. But I think we can break the jam-packed event down into three big takeaways. And it's really not about batteries.
Solar power has seen record growth over the past decade, created an incredible number of new jobs, and is one of the most affordable forms of generating energy. But with all of those panels popping up across rooftops and open areas, what happens when it comes time to replace them? And do the environ
I’ve been left wondering why so many companies, like Nikola Motors, Toyota, and Honda, are still supporting fuel cell vs lithium ion battery technology. What are the pros and cons? And is there a future for fuel cell vs battery beyond cars?
Exploring Tesla Powerwall and home batteries - worth it? I just got a Tesla Powerwall ... well, more like I've got a Tesla Powerwall ready to be installed. But with home batteries like this being so expensive, why would anyone want one? It goes beyond a simple "return on investment" discussion. In f
Supercapacitors explained - the future of energy storage? With Tesla’s battery day event not too far off, and their acquisition of Maxwell Technologies last year, I thought it was worth taking a closer look at what a supercapacitor is. Some believe that supercapacitors might be integrated into futur
Let’s talk about some hints that Tesla dropped in the last quarterly call around cell production, scaling manufacturing, and EV range expectations. And how Tesla is pulling something from Apple’s playbook.
