Need solar for your boat? Highest efficiency marine grade solar panels, max power per square inch available - because space is at a premium on boats. Panels are built to be shade tolerant as well. No questions warranty.

I’m very happy to see real progress being made. For too long has renewable energy been a pipe dream (or even a scam in the case of Solyndra under Obama). We need all the electricity we can produce.

"Those who manufacture, own their decisions." The UAE's strategy is straightforward. The Emirates is a place where companies actually build things, with AI sitting inside how factories and energy systems get run day to day, and with the existing energy sector funding the rest. Energy, technology, and industry are being run as one stack. Listen to Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, the UAE's Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Group CEO of ADNOC, in his keynote today at Make it in the Emirates 2026 in Abu Dhabi. AI is the thing redefining UAE industry.

The opening of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026 by HE Dr Sultan Al Jaber framed the energy transformation as a systems challenge that requires coherence across sectors, echoing the idea that “the corridor to the future runs through the UAE.” Partnership with ADSW #ADSW The delivery side matters: people, infrastructure, and long-term execution determine whether ambition becomes reality. Sustainability was presented as the result of alignment across energy, industry, finance, policy, and human development. This systems-oriented approach has guided Masdar since its early foundations, long before renewables were proven at global scale. Today, integrated green development is framed as a driver of prosperity, resilience, and opportunity. ADSW 2026 reflects a moment of maturity for the global sustainability agenda, where the focus is shifting toward delivery, infrastructure, and the ability to translate long-term vision into platforms that support progress over time.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 ELON: CHINA'S SOLAR SURGE IS HALF OF THE U.S. POWER "China's production capacity for solar is 1500GW/year. They're deploying over 1000GW/year of solar. For a continuous solar load, you divide that by roughly 4 or 5. That's around 250GW of steady state power paired with batteries. That's half of the average power usage in the U.S. China can provide steady state power, and batteries can do half of the U.S. electricity output per year just for solar. Solar is by far the biggest source of energy." Source: Elon Musk, WEF

NEWS: A massive new $450 million Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system is now operational in Victoria, Australia. It's the biggest completed battery project on Australia’s main grid, and one of largest battery projects in the world. It features 444 Tesla Megapacks and three Toshiba 500kV HV transformers, for a total of 600 megawatts of capacity and 1,600 megawatt hours of storage. It will soak up excess wind & solar power during the daytime and shift that energy to the evening peaks.

Elon Musk: The sun provides basically 100% of the energy in the solar system. “One way to look at civilization is progress on the Kardashev scale. Kardashev scale 1 means you've harnessed all the power of a planet. I think we've probably harnessed less than 1% of the power of Earth. Kardashev scale 2 is you've harnessed all the power of your sun. The sun is overwhelmingly the largest source of energy in the solar system. Everything else maybe amounts to about a trillionth of the energy in the solar system, compared to the sun. So, it rounds up to 100%. That's how much of the energy in the future will be solar, when you view things from a Kardashev standpoint.” Future Investment Initiative Conference, October 29, 2024

Building one gigawatt of solar capacity is not 'clean'. It requires around 18.5 tons of silver, 3,400 tons of polysilicon, and more than 10,000 tons of aluminium. Producing the polysilicon alone consumes thousands of tons of quartz, coal, petroleum, coke, charcoal and wood chips. Refining the silver for one gigawatt uses roughly 4,600 megawatt hours of electricity, the annual power use of 400 US homes. Producing the aluminum consumes nearly 2 million gigajoules of energy, enough to power more than 100,000 households for a year. Solar power is built with massive fossil energy inputs. Only the output is labelled 'green'. These are the realities campaigners never want to talk about.

Historic steps are being taken at Baku Stadium for energy efficiency and sustainability at COP29. Baku Stadium, the venue for the COP29 conference to be held from November 11-22, will use three main renewable energy sources to meet its electricity needs: Solar Energy System, HVO biofuel generators, and hydroelectric power plants. The complete supply of electricity during the conference from renewable sources demonstrates that the event is being conducted in line with the principles of sustainable development. All these initiatives ensure that the COP29 event serves as a benchmark for green energy and sustainability for both Azerbaijan and the world. #COP29 #COP29Azerbaijan

The clean energy mix is the key to Nigeria’s future. It is the pathway to 24/7 electricity, the end of decades of darkness, and the foundation of a sustainable industrial revolution. By harnessing solar, wind, hydro, natural gas as a transition fuel, battery storage, and other renewable energy sources, Nigeria can finally deliver reliable power to homes, schools, hospitals, farms, and factories. No nation has ever industrialized in darkness. A #Sowore2027 government will build a diversified, resilient, and affordable energy system that powers productivity, creates millions of green jobs, attracts investment, and restores Nigeria’s economic prowess.
