Distributed energy is harder to map than centralized infrastructure, but cutting-edge AI tools can help. Shown: identifying rooftop solar panels in a suburban neighborhood with Mapbox imagery, Meta's SAM3. Useful for utilities, grid planners, and solar prospecting.

Elon Musk predicts AI compute in space could become cheaper than terrestrial AI far sooner than most people expect....possibly within just 2–3 years Because solar panels in orbit can generate roughly 5x more usable energy than on Earth because there’s: • No atmosphere blocking sunlight • No day-night cycle • No seasonal variation • Continuous exposure to the Sun • Far higher solar energy efficiency than on Earth Space-based solar can eventually become cheaper than terrestrial solar because you don’t need massive protective structures, heavy glass, or weather-resistant infrastructure And once launch costs fall low enough with fully reusable rockets like Starship, deploying AI clusters in orbit could become economically compelling The future of AI will scale with solar-powered compute infrastructure operating directly in space

CHINA IS TURNING MOUNTAINS INTO SOLAR FARMS - WITH DRONES In a flex of scale and tech, China’s using drones to blanket remote hillsides with millions of solar panels - like a real-life game of renewable Minecraft. The project shown here is likely in Shanxi, part of a nationwide push to turn rugged terrain into clean energy engines. No country installs - or produces - more solar than China. And they’re not slowing down. Source: daily_learningfacts

We have stepped up our renewable energy market. Most households now have solar panels, first for their own use but ZESA has given everybody an opportunity to have a net metering meter so that when you are not using your solar energy you can send it to the grid and you will be given credit. At present we are already having 32MW in relation to what is coming from solar in terms of net metering."

Something remarkable just happened in Pakistan. In only 8 months, citizens built the equivalent of half the country’s national electric grid, without waiting for government or utilities. How? ☀️ Cheap solar panels ☀️ TikTok tutorials showing how to install them ☀️ Farmers leading the way, swapping diesel pumps for solar The results: ✅ Diesel sales dropped 35% in one year ✅ Families slashed costs and gained energy independence ✅ National demand on the grid actually declined because of so much distributed generation This isn’t just about Pakistan. It’s a glimpse of how fast the world can shift when technology gets cheap enough and people take energy into their own hands. These are the kinds of numbers that change the world. 🎧 Full Energy Capital Podcast episode with Bill McKibben here: #EnergyTransition #Solar #Pakistan #EnergyCapitalPodcast

Imagine if in your weekly shop, you could pick up plug-in solar panels that help save on your energy bills? Well, in some parts of Europe you can do just that. We’re working with industry to bring plug-in solar to UK shops within months.

IKEA has installed 1M+ solar panels, owns 49 wind farms and 26 solar parks, and now matches 94.8% of its electricity use with renewables. A furniture retailer has become one of the world's largest corporate renewable energy investors. The transition is bigger than utilities. Ingka Group (the company that runs most IKEA stores worldwide) has already invested €4.3 billion into renewable energy and plans to lift that to €7.5 billion by 2030. Its wind and solar assets already generate enough electricity to match the annual consumption of more than 1.47 million European households, while rooftop solar continues rolling out across IKEA stores and warehouses worldwide. This is what mainstream disruption looks like. Companies aren't waiting for governments or utilities to lead. They're investing billions because renewables increasingly offer the lowest-cost path to long-term energy security and resilience. Furniture retailer? More like a clean energy company that happens to sell flat-pack furniture.

Gigascale Founder and former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer says new solar startups will go after installation costs rather than compete with China on solar panels. "If you look at a solar farm, you lay down all this steel and put up all this framing for the panels. When that panel was the most expensive thing on the field, then [startups producing solar panels] made sense." "But solar panels are now the cheapest thing in the field. All the rest of the stuff costs more than the panel." "I think what we're going to see is startups saying, 'Let's rethink how we actually deploy solar from a form-factor and automation perspective. And just go after installation costs.'"

ELON: CHINA CAN MAKE ENOUGH SOLAR PANELS TO POWER THE U.S. IN 18 MONTHS “China has the ability to produce solar panels with a steady-state output roughly two-thirds that of the entire U.S. economy from all sources. Which means that just with solar alone, China can, in 18 months, produce enough solar panels to power all the electricity of the United States.” Source: The All-In Podcast
