REC Group has launched the REC N-Peak 2, the second generation of its n-type TOPCon cell-based solar panels. The second-gen panels are designed to further improve power density and energy yield per m2. The REC N-Peak solar panel, released in 2018, combines n-type mono half-cut cells with a twin-panel design, delivering good power output and long-term performance. The new solar panel takes forward the same

Victoria’s iconic zoos have become the first on mainland Australia to be powered by 100% renewable energy, thanks to funding from the Victorian Government. Healesville Sanctuary is powered by renewable energy produced by the Crowlands Wind Farm near Ararat, while Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo use 100% GreenPower. This builds on the 675 kW of onsite solar already installed at the three

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have found a way to prevent the initial loss of lithium (Li) ions in supposedly fully charged batteries, which should enable the mileage of electric vehicles (EVs) and usage time of smartphones to be drastically increased. When its batteries are fully charged, an electronic device will normally indicate that they are at 100% capacity.
