On January 5, 2020, the Earth reached perihelion, a term coined by the mathematician Johannes Kepler to describe the point at which our planet comes closest to the Sun on its annual orbit. This is the point at which the Earth’s orbital speed is fastest and it receives more sunlight than any other time of...Continue Reading

For decades, global demand for energy followed a predictable pattern, making it easier to anticipate user needs and match these with stable output, but things have changed with the large-scale incursion of photovoltaic and other forms of renewable energy.Continue Reading

A few days ago, Elon Musk, one of the global champions of photovoltaic energy, resuscitated the idea of meeting America’s energy needs by installing a huge solar park measuring 100 x100 miles in the desert of Arizona, Texas or Utah.Continue Reading
