Podcasts about solar panels

Suvi Sharma is the CEO and Co-Founder at SOLARCYCLE. SOLARCYCLE is an emerging leader in the nascent category of solar panel recycling. The astounding ramp of solar panels deployed across the world rivals almost any technology adoption curve in history, and it's far from over. There were only five gigawatts of solar deployed globally between 2000 and 2005. By the end of 2025, a mere 20 years later, there will be around 2,000 gigawatts of solar deployed globally, and the growth is expected to continue to be exponential. That's billions and billions of panels that collectively make up a few hundred thousand square miles of space. And given the rate of installation, most of these panels are early in their expected lifespans. So, what happens when they do hit the end of life? Surely they aren't going to just be landfilled, right? Right? That's what Suvi's here to about. In this episode, we cover: ⁠ [01:16]⁠ Solar panel deployment vs. end-of-life lag⁠[03:40]⁠ Billions of panels, billions of square feet⁠[05:11]⁠ 1.2B panels produced annually—set to triple⁠[07:06]⁠ Why is now the time to build recycling⁠[08:36]⁠ Who's responsible for end-of-life?

Schickt uns eine Nachricht Sie sind umstritten, aber vielversprechend: Solaranlagen über landwirtschaftlichen Flächen. Über Vor- und Nachteile sprechen in diesem Podcast ein Landwirt, der vor drei Jahren europaweit die erste Solaranlage Europas auf seiner Obstanlage installierte, ein Wissenschaftler, der das neue FiBL Projekt "Agrisolar" leitet, und der Projektverantwortliche vom Amt für Landwirtschaft des Kantons Aargau. Auf Hausdächern sind Solarpanels inzwischen ein gängiges Bild. Dass sie jedoch frei in der Landschaft stehen, ist derzeit noch ein seltenes Bild – und auch nicht unumstritten. Bei dem System Agri-Photovoltaik (auch genannt "Agri-PV") werden Solaranlagen über Agrarflächen installiert. Dabei sollen die Lebensmittel, die unter den Solarpanels angebaut werden, vom Schutz durch die Solaranlagen profitieren. Ob dies wirklich funktionieren kann, untersucht das grosse Forschungsprojekt AgriSolar, das letztes Jahr gestartet hat und 25 Jahre lang Daten und wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse liefern soll. Im Gespräch sind der Projektleiter Stefan Baumann, der Projektverantwortliche des Kantons Aargau Matthias Müller und der Landwirt Mark Kugel, der auch Gründer des Startups «Sonntag Energy» ist, und Solaranlagen für Landwirte plant und baut.Gäste: Stefan Baumann, Matthias Müller und Mark KugelRedaktion und Moderation: Franziska HämmerliAn- und Abmoderation: Anke BeermannInformationen zum Projekt AgriSolar findet ihr auf der Website www.agrisolarforschung.ch.

Installing solar panels now stacks up financially for many households in all three of the country's biggest cities, as well as Queenstown thanks to plunging panel prices and rising electricity bills. Climate Change Correspondent Eloise Gibson reports.

Joe speaks to Scott McKechnie, a solar specialist and Technical Manager for a large global renewables developer, about whether or not solar panels are worth the investment.Here is a link to the website: https://airpv.io/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have you been enjoying the sunshine? Well not only is it good for the mind and the mood, it's also good for the wallet if you have solar panels which earn you money. And even though we don't get that much sunshine our capability of generating energy from it has soared by 48% over the past year to 1.7GW. Of that 50% comes from solar farms and 33% from domestic rooftops known as microgeneration. Ronan Power is the Chief Executive of Solar Ireland joined Joe this morning.

"I wish I had 640 days to do this trip, not 64." Bali-based Stuart McDonald, founder of Travelfish, is 34 days into an ambitious two-month overland trip across 18 countries from his Bali home to Leeds in the UK. So, why is he doing it? What has he experienced en route? And what have been the finest discoveries of the journey so far? This week, Gary catches up with Stuart in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, to track back across his train and-bus route so far, which has taken him from Bali to Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Stuart describes the dramatic natural landscapes viewed from numerous train windows. He also tells compelling stories about his encounters with Chinese backpacking culture, entire mountains clad with solar panels, the lowering of a giant Lenin statue, an under-construction China-Central Asia railway, and the cultured urban delights of Almaty. We preview the anticipated highlights of the rest of the trip, including Tbilisi, Istanbul, Bucharest and Budapest, before a rapid dash to Paris to catch the Eurostar to London - and a connection to the journey's end: Leeds. A remarkable journey, which Stuart describes as "exhausting" and a "gruelling mission", but - overall - the "trip of a lifetime".

See this episode in writing on our blog.The complicated relationship between solar panels and home sales takes center stage in this practical, eye-opening episode. When those sleek energy-savers adorning your roof become part of your home sale equation, the results can be surprising—and not always in the way solar companies might suggest.We dive into revealing research showing owned solar systems can boost home values by 4.1-6.9% and help properties sell up to 20% faster. But there's a critical distinction between owned systems and those with outstanding loans or leases that many homeowners don't discover until they're deep in the selling process. With roughly 20% of sellers reporting buyers walking away due to solar lease complications, understanding these dynamics before listing is essential.The episode features real insights from agents nationwide who consistently report that solar loans and leases narrow the buyer pool significantly. One Florida property languished on the market while identical homes sold quickly—the only difference being its solar panel loan. Another seller with a $38,000 solar obligation ended up offering to pay half just to close the deal. These aren't isolated incidents but part of a pattern every solar homeowner should understand before putting up that "For Sale" sign.For homeowners contemplating selling, we provide actionable strategies: gathering comprehensive documentation early, understanding payoff options, setting realistic price expectations, and working with knowledgeable agents. Whether you're a homeowner with solar panels or considering installing them, this episode equips you with the information needed to navigate this increasingly common real estate challenge.

This week's EYE ON NPI is a follow up to one we did a few years ago on the similarly-named BQ25792 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/05/06/eye-on-npi-ti-bq25792-i2c-controlled-1-4-cell-5a-buck-boost-battery-charger-eyeonnpi-adafruit-digikey-adafruit-digikey-txinstruments/). The BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) builds on the '92 by adding selectable dual inputs and true MPPT solar support. This chip is inexpensive, powerful and can handle almost any battery and power source matching you desire. Let's look at some specifications: High power density, high integration buck-boost charger for 1-4 cell batteries supporting USB PD 3.0 profile – Integrates four switching MOSFETs, BATFET – Integrates input and charging current sensing Highly efficient – 750-kHz or 1.5-MHz switching frequencies – 5-A charging current with 10-mA resolution 96.5% efficient: 16-V battery at 3A from 20V Supports a wide range of input sources Autonomously sampled open circuit voltage (VOC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for charging from a photovoltaic panel – 3.6-V to 24-V wide input operating voltage range with 30-V absolute maximum rating – Detects USB BC1.2, HVDCP and non-standard adapters Dual-input power mux controller (optional) Narrow voltage DC (NVDC) power path Backup Mode with Ultra-fast switchover to adjustable voltage Powers USB port from battery (USB OTG) – 2.8-V to 22-V OTG output voltage with 10-mV resolution to support USB-PD PPS – OTG output current regulation up to 3.32 A with 40-mA resolution Flexible autonomous and I2C mode for optimal system performance Integrated 16-bit ADC for voltage, current, and temperature monitoring Like the '92, the BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) supports any size battery. We have lots of battery packs in the Adafruit shop, and in particular we use 1S batteries – if there are more batteries, they are wired in series. But there's lot of folks who are building robotics that require higher voltages, so they have 2S, 3S, or 4S batteries. This charger can handle any of 'em, and you can configure the battery pack size using a simple resistor on the PROG port. In this case it also allows the chip to run in 'standalone' mode without the use of I2C to configure. The biggest improvement you get with the BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) is true solar MPPT support. The BQ25792 had VINDPM and IINDPM – the ability to track the input voltage to make sure it is not drooping from overdraw. While this lets you get pretty-close-to-MPPT it isn't true power-point-tracking which requires perturbation around the voltage to adjust as light and temperature affect the solar panel's efficiency. The '98 does this 'right' and even has a K Factor adjustment register - you can tweak this to get the best results based on different weather/temperature (https://www.ti.com/video/6287049638001)- or stick to the default value for good results. Another new feature is 'selectable dual-inputs' what this means if you can set up two power inputs - say DC plug and Solar - and then have the chip switch between them. This is particularly useful because you can't just use two OR'ing diodes to select the power source: the solar panel might have a higher initial open-voltage but can't supply as much current as a DC plug. I2C lets you select which one is priority! The BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) also has many of the cool features we liked in the BQ25792: On-The-Go mode where you can turn the buck-boost around and have it generate a variable voltage output, say 5V for powering other USB devices. Another thing that works is powering over USB where you can have the BQ negotiate 'high voltage' support from USB 3 ports. Note that this isn't USB Type C power negotiation, for that you'll want to get a separate USB Type C PD negotiation chip like the TPS25750D (https://www.tij.co.jp/jp/lit/ml/slpp103/slpp103.pdf)...we're hoping there's a future version with PD built in! There's also a built in 16-bit ADC that you can use to monitor various voltages and current draw. While you can charge the battery in 'standalone' mode - you really do need I2C to get the best performance and capabilities. Thankfully there's not a huge number of registers, and SDA/SCL can be 3 or 5V logic signals so you should be able to get it working on anything from an ATmega328 to a Raspberry Pi. We like the high integration: you really only need a few passives and an inductor to get a fantastic all-in-one charger for any lithium ion battery pack. If you're intrigued and would like more information, you've come to the right place! DigiKey has the BQ25798 (https://www.digikey.com/short/vnr279pz) in stock right now for immediate shipment. Order today and you can start designing your solar-powered products of the future by tomorrow afternoon.

With sunny days ahead, we're working on more solar projects. One thing that comes up often is we need is a diode to keep the PV panel current only flowing into a charging circuit. Often times folks use a Schottky diode (https://www.digikey.com/short/b5d8495f) for their low forward voltage. But as you get to an Amp or more, you're still looking at a loss of 0.5V, or 0.5W and that number only goes up with higher currents! Thus the need for an 'ideal diode': we've already got a breakout for an ideal diode but it's only 5V max (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5830). Let's look for one that can handle higher voltages and at least an Amp of current.

Welcome to episode 256 of The Clean Energy Show! This week, we explore the challenges of allowing Chinese EVs into Canada, the arrival of USB-C charging for electric bikes, and how small amounts of solar power are transforming lives in Africa. Plus, Canada's greenhouse gas emissions are trending downward, and James Whittingham claims full credit. The Downside of Chinese EVs in Canada China is testing whether the prospect of big EV investments could sway Canada's trade policies. The country's ambassador to Canada has expressed concerns over restrictions that have hindered BYD's expansion into Canada.
