The world is experiencing a rapid shift towards renewable energy sources due to the increasing demand for energy and the need to address the climate change crisis. Among these sources, solar energy is one of the most promising and rapidly growing forms of renewable energy. In this article, we will discuss the rise of solar energy and its potential to revolutionize the world’s energy systems.
Solar energy is harnessed from the sun using solar panels, which capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The energy generated by solar panels is known as solar power and can be used for various purposes, including powering homes, businesses, and even entire cities. The use of solar energy has gained popularity over the years due to its numerous benefits, including its environmental friendliness, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

The world is currently facing a number of pressing challenges, including climate change, environmental degradation, and the depletion of natural resources. Renewable energy is widely seen as a key part of the solution to these problems, and education has a crucial role to play in enabling the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
One of the most important contributions of education to renewable energy is in the area of research and development. As more and more people become aware of the need for renewable energy, there is a growing demand for new and innovative solutions to the challenges of generating and storing clean energy. This has led to a surge in research and development in the field of renewable energy, and education plays a key role in producing the scientists and engineers who are driving this research forward.

Renewable energy has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and for good reason. Not only is it more sustainable for the environment, but it’s also cheaper than fossil fuels. In this article, we’ll explore why renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.
Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro are low-cost to operate because they do not require fuel. Fossil fuel power plants, on the other hand, require fuel such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which can be expensive to extract, transport, and store. The cost of fuel can also fluctuate, which can make it difficult to predict operating costs. Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, have no fuel costs, making them more predictable and less volatile.

The world is becoming increasingly conscious of the impact of climate change and the role of human activities in exacerbating it. As a result, there is a growing interest in finding sustainable solutions to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of global warming. The transportation sector alone accounts for approximately 23% of global carbon dioxide emissions, with road transport being the largest source. With the increasing demand for mobility, it is crucial to find sustainable alternatives that can reduce emissions and prevent further damage to our planet. Electric vehicles and renewable energy are two such alternatives that offer a promising solution.

As Managing Partner of Wattcrop (https://www.wattcrop.com) I had the pleasure of moderating a panel of two experts from companies representing different aspects within the renewable energy market. The key discussion topic evolved around strategies on how to boost returns from your Solar PV assets. The discussion focused on three main issues.
A. Effective, and pre-emptive, O&M strategies that are vital in maintaining high revenue from your assets
B. Applied strategies you can use to increase capacity, and thus returns
C. Active Management and Site Montioring technologies you should use.
