China leads the world in solar power, producing 64% of global utility-scale solar and wind energy. Its massive manufacturing capacity, one terawatt of solar panels annually, has driven costs down to record lows, making solar the cheapest energy source. This boom is transforming global energy markets and posing a major challenge to fossil fuels.

Poland added 637 MW of solar during Q1
Poland’s solar capacity neared 22 GW at the end of March, according to figures from the country’s Institute of Renewable Energy. There are currently 532 solar projects with a capacity equalling 950 MW with valid building permits.

🎵 Everything old [can be] new again 🎵
Rethinking Everything, Everywhere, All at Once can lead to amazing #ClimateChange mitigation solutions based on #ancient #technologies, we don't always have to create entirely new components.
Cost-effective, scalable, and #environmentally friendly storage of #energy generated by #rewnewables remains a problem with which current #batteries still struggle, and l this kinda low-tech alternative may be an answer.
This is so cool! The engineers at MIT discovered that cement and carbon black (paracrystalline carbon) can be mixed to create a supercapacitor that still behaves like cement. That means you can build cement structures that store energy. They estimate that 45 m³ of this material is enough to store 10 kWh (about a day’s worth of energy for a home). “New Breakthrough in Energy Storage – MIT Engineers Create Supercapacitor out of Ancient Materials” https://scitechdaily.com/new-breakthrough-in-energy-storage-mit-engineers-create-supercapacitor-out-of-ancient-materials/
