With solar panels and wind turbines sprawling across the globe, clean energy is taking over fossil fuels, which seem to be dead and buried, but are they? Is our renewable energy future really inevitable? The technologies that made recent history As of 2019, renewable technologies accounted for only 11% of
Last year a friend of mine and his wife sold their home, bought an RV, installed solar panels and a battery system, and then hit the road with their two dogs. All while working as a software developer from the road. I couldn't help myself ... between the solar
What you need to know before getting a Tesla Powerwall (first impressions and early review). There’s a few things I learned going through the installation process that might be useful if you’re thinking about getting a home battery installed. So let’s go through what you should know before getting a
Tesla made a huge splash in the solar panel world when they unveiled the latest version of the Tesla Solar Roof. But since then we haven't seen too much about it. Is it a bargain or a bust? Or are solar tiles about to go mainstream? I talked to Weddle & Sons Roofing to learn more about it from an in
Imagine a future where every home, office or building is painted with solar panels and its bricks operate as batteries thanks to nanotechnology. There's a lot of promise, but what is nanotechnology? And is it more science fiction than fact?
There's a lot of people that want to go solar, but just can't because of cost or they don't own a home where they can install it. What if there was a way for you to get the benefits of solar, but without needing to install solar on your roof?
It's been two years since I installed solar panels on my home in the Boston area. How's it been going? Let's take a look at how much it cost, how much it's saved, how it's been holding up and what type of maintenance it's taken.
Solar power has seen record growth over the past decade, created an incredible number of new jobs, and is one of the most affordable forms of generating energy. But with all of those panels popping up across rooftops and open areas, what happens when it comes time to replace them? And do the environ
In Tesla’s Q2 earnings call Elon Musk dropped the little bombshell that Tesla's solar panels cost $1.49 per watt after incentives. I found that it can be even lower than that. This is a huge step forward for the price of solar power. Why? Let’s get into it.
The past year has had some really interesting advancements with perovskite and multijunction solar cells, which are going to have a big impact. Plus, what if I told you it might be possible to harvest power from shadows?
The appeal of Carbon Nanotubes is their potential to dramatically improve energy storage and renewable energy... a topic that scientists have been attempting to tackle for decades. As it turns out, Carbon nanotubes can be easily mass-produced already, so why haven’t we seen the carbon nanotube revol
I'm joined by Ricky from Two Bit da Vinci for a Tesla year in review. We talk through everything that happened in 2019, which includes sales & competition, acquisitions, Tesla Energy, and where things are going in 2020.
