Agrivoltaics is the co-location of solar power and agricultural production. It is not a new idea, but is not in widespread use. Agrivoltaics is a relatively new field with infinite potential: it is the agricultural practice that uses solar power at its best. Studies observed that plants tend to have a more efficient growing cycle […]

A new study on solar-powered greenhouses presents great prospects for the future of eco-friendly farming. Researchers have tested greenhouses with semi-transparent solar cells to see how they impact the growth of the plants. By generating electricity through these cells, the energy consumption can be reduced and the researchers tested the produce harvested afterward. They examined […]

Solar energy is the future of sustainability, but the main problem with this energy source is that it depends on the climate and geographic area in which you live. But with the correct technology, even solar power can become one of the most efficient alternative power sources out there.

You don’t need a lot of money to build a luxurious home. An example is this cabin, built out of three shipping containers. Each container was bought for $3,400 by Joseph Dupuis, who is originally from Ottawa. The owner worked to convert these containers into a luxurious and cozy cabin, fully insulated from the cold […]

Net-zero energy homes has been a dream objective for environmentalists for decades. Having a minimal impact on the environment and not worrying about monthly costs for energy, is an objective for many people who are in search for a new home. A company in Asheville, North Carolina has achieved that with the Renew Collection. The […]

A new law has passed recently that mandates that all new buildings, situated in commercial areas from France, must be at least partially covered in plants or solar panels. Because of their isolation effect green roofs contribute to the reduction of energy waste during winters. Furthermore, green roofs can also keep buildings cool during summers. […]
