has been granted a patent for a mounting system designed for power-generating devices. The system features a frame with an opening and a bracket assembly that allows for adjustable clamping through a single bolt, facilitating secure interlocking with the frame.
At its core, a microgrid is a localized energy system that can operate independently from the main grid when needed. It typically includes one or more sources of electricity such as solar panels, wind turbines, or generators, and may include battery storage or other technologies.
In 2025, researchers found potential solutions to deficits in transparent, thin-film, and perovskite solar panels. They also discovered ways to tackle – and utilise – the effects of heat on solar installations. We've chosen our nine favourite advances to highlight and explain.
The concept of container solar systems takes the portability of foldable photovoltaic panels a step further. These systems integrate solar panels into shipping containers, transforming them into self-sufficient power generation units.
Illustrating solar power technology provides a comprehensive review of this exciting technology, from the fundamental science to systems design, development and applications.
