Energy Department announces $27 million in funding available for photovoltaics research and development.
The Energy Department announced the fourth round of the Solar District Cup—a collegiate competition designed to design energy systems for a campus or urban district.
PNNL researchers developed a new computer model of a device that acts like a translator, enabling renewable power sources like wind and solar to provide electricity to the grid while increasing system resiliency and stability.
DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory published a study that highlights the additive manufacturing (3D printing) of permanent magnets for large electrical machines. Additive manufacturing could be an attractive method for manufacturing permanent magnets.
DOE announced that it will work with 12 competitively selected remote and island communities around the United States to help strengthen their energy adaptability through the agency’s Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project (ETIPP).
Global Wind Day was on “Winds-day,” June 15. Meet some of the “Wizards of Wind Energy” from DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) who make the magic happen in several areas.
The partnership highlights ongoing DOE efforts and commitment work alongside states and industry to provide a roadmap that identifies key pathways for meeting state and federal offshore wind goals.
The members of People Power Solar Cooperative in Oakland, California, are demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of community-owned solar, a type of community solar in which residents of a community collectively own a solar system.
Pollinators—such as bees, butterflies, and other insects—are critical to the success of about 35 percent of global food crop production. Learn about the benefits of establishing pollinator-friendly plants under and around ground-mounted solar arrays.
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X), a new program that develops innovative solutions to enable faster, simpler, and fairer interconnection of solar energy, wind energy, and energy storage.
