Soleeva

2025 could be your last chance to claim the 30% federal solar tax credit. ⚠️ Congress is moving to phase it out, and the clock is ticking. If you’re thinking about solar, now’s the time to act. #SolarEnergy #Soleeva #PowerForward

Solar panels that look like roof tiles retain 95% of normal power output! German researchers at Fraunhofer ISE built the coating by copying the Morpho butterfly, which creates color through microscopic structures instead of pigment. The aesthetic objection got harder to make!

Argonne National Laboratory tracked birds around solar farms for 17,000 hours. No panel collisions recorded. Birds were perching, nesting underneath, using the shade to cool down in extreme heat! #solar

This guy's fastest #drone hit 408 mph. He needed a second drone just to film it. His new challenge: how long can a #solar drone stay airborne? 5 hours, 2 minutes, 21 seconds. Manual flight the whole time.

Solar panels have been flat for 140 years. Kyosemi's Sphelar cells are spherical. They capture light from any direction! Still niche, but the question was worth asking!

Researchers modeled what happens if large solar farms cover a significant chunk of the #Sahara. The panels absorb heat. Hot air rises. Moisture condenses. It rains. More rain → more plants → more evaporation → more rain. A feedback loop that could slowly green the desert.

The Texas Horned Lizard and the Alligator Snapping Turtle (both threatened species) have moved in and are thriving underneath the solar panels. The shade and reduced disturbance apparently suit them just fine! #NatureIsAmazing

#Solar panels on #Shinkansen noise barriers? 1mm thick. Flexible. Survives 320 km/h wind blast from passing trains. Take a bow once again, Japan! #innovation #cleanenergy #solar

Johan Cruijff ArenA makes 930,000 kWh of solar per year! 😤 But the real flex is battery storage. Sun powers the @AFCAjax stadium by day → batteries save it → night matches run on clean energy! 🤩 #solar #ajax #netherlands #greenenergy

@MikeHudema Top club indeed

This football club put #solarpanels on its roof and it now 100% #renewable. Their pitch recycles rainwater, #solar robots cut the grass, and they serve only #vegan food. We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateaction #climatecrisis #energy #greennewdeal

@MikeHudema Fascinating visual, mind if we use it?

This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North. There is not time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Could this end up being more efficient than solar energy

Cleaning your solar panels? Dish soap… not ideal ❌ A study by the University of Turku found it can reduce light transmission (even if panels look clean).

A yacht that never needs fuel? 🚤☀️ Helios 11 runs on ~6kW solar: ~2kW usable daily power and 6–7 knots cruising speed!

There are so many climate days… we don’t mind, and we lost count! 🌍 World Climate Day. Earth Day. Environment Day. At this point every day = climate day. And that's GOOD!

In Minhang District, Koichi Takada Architects built “solar trees” that: ✅ Generate energy ✅ Provide shade ✅ Blend into public spaces Smarter mushroom-like design! 🍄

#Energy price shocks often accelerate renewable adoption. After the 2022 gas crisis following the Russian invasion of #Ukraine, Europe saw rapid growth in solar installations and battery storage. According to BloombergNEF, global solar installations reached 655 GW last year!

Did you know onion skins could help protect #solar panels? 🧅 Researchers at University of Turku created a transparent film using dye from red onion skins that blocks 99.9% of harmful UV radiation. #renewables

Rain usually means less #SolarPower! But researchers in Spain developed a solar panel that can also generate electricity from rain. Using the triboelectric effect, raindrops sliding across a special coating create a charge. Solar that works in sunshine and rain!🌧️

When Honda left #F1 in 2021, some of its engine engineers moved into the solar industry. Now Honda is back with the Aston Martin F1 Team, but rebuilding the team hasn’t been easy. The performance of Adrian Newey's team has been quite bad. Talk about the butterfly effect! 🦋
