Building Integrated Photovoltaics & Sustainable Architecture
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that can replace conventional building materials such as windows or facades. They are an important element in sustainable city building projects as a primary or secondary source of electrical power.
How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car?
Charging speed is one of the major impediments for drivers to switch from combustion engines to electric ones. Rapid charging stations can reduce charging times to 30 minutes, but they are still relatively expensive and low in supply. Therefore, knowing how long you have to wait for a full recharge is very useful in planning your car routes.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Energy
The sun provides enough energy in one hour to meet the entire global energy demand for a year. Without a doubt, the sun is the strongest renewable energy source available to man. However, every step in the quest for energy transition needs to be planned wisely. To give you clearer picture of what role solar power plays, we describe some advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
Why Electric Mobility Needs Rapid Charging Solutions
AC fast charging, DC rapid charging, DC ultra-quick charging. The realm of fast chargers comprises a large variety of EV charging stations. Most EVs are compatible with more than one charging type. Since charging speed is determined by a variety of factors, rapid chargers are important to even out these differences.
Community Solar – Unlocking Solar Power for Everyone
Many associate energy transition with the idea that solar cells will be installed on every roof. However, looking at the reality, it becomes evident that this is no more than a romantic pipe dream, as many cannot install a solar system on their property. Learn how community solar projects mitigate this problem.
How Do British Consumers Benefit Form the New Time Of Use Tariff UK?
Time of use tariffs will be introduced on January 1, 2022 in the UK. This new electricity billing model constitutes the next major step in the UK’s national energy transition plan. As opposed to a flat rate model, the time of use tariff UK builds on a dynamic hourly price that is responsive to supply and demand of green energy.
