Self-Generation Nation – Solar Sales Soar Amid Escalating Energy Costs

My Energi

Key factors behind this hike included a cold summer, meaning less gas was stored for winter use; fewer pipelines were delivered than predicted; and energy generation across Europe was far lower than in previous years. Each of our products help households to consume more of their self-generated energy and minimise reliance on the grid.

Working From Home Can Slash Solar Payback Periods For EV drivers

My Energi

While solar panels will invariably help to reduce the grid electricity consumption of any household, typically only 45% of self-generated renewable energy is consumed. It can even be paired with a domestic battery device to store self-generated energy for use during the evenings. In result? Embracing the future.

Why Hydrogen power is not the answer

EV Info

Most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water and organic compounds. We can’t just dig Hydrogen up from the ground we must create hydrogen from either Water or from organic compounds, and this requires a lot of energy.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

In parallel, more and more electricity is being generated from solar and water power. In phases of battery regeneration (during braking) or coasting (with anticipatory deceleration), only the E-motor is active; drag torque losses are reduced by disengaging the petrol engine via a separation clutch. sunshine duration, wind strength).

Plug In India

As more and more of us put solar panels on our roofs, we can move away from our grid driven AC to battery driven DC lights and appliances. NMC batteries can store upto 300 Wh/kg, and 350 Wh/kg seems doable in the near future. So LTO is good for petrol-battery hybrid cars, which end up having relatively small batteries.
