Shell Malaysia has unveiled a significant plan to accelerate its transition towards net-zero emissions by 2050, with a focus on installing solar panels across the rooftops of its more than 600 retail sites. The solar installation will have a total capacity of 20 MWp, with plans for all sites to switch to solar power by next year.

In a concerted effort to bolster energy efficiency and drive the green transition, the European Investment Bank Group (EIBG), the European Commission (EC), and the Solar Impulse Foundation (SIF) launched a new pilot initiative aimed at boosting energy efficiency investments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative, a key element of the EIB Group Strategic Roadmap 2024-2027, is designed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs across Europe.

Researchers at the Australian National University are part of the international team that has built an all-perovskite tandem solar cell based on a wide-bandgap top perovskite cell with a 20.5% efficiency. The 1 cm2 scale tandem device achieved the highest efficiency yet reported for all-perovskite solar cells of this size.

The Vietnamese government’s new decree, announced at the end of October, encourages the development of self-consumption rooftop solar power systems. However, many investors feel that the regulatory details are unclear, making the application process much more difficult.

Solar energy is one of the most essential parts to achieve energy efficiency in Australia. It has proven to be a winning combination for people living in Australia because it has many advantages. Getting solar panels has become easier, cheaper, and more flexible recently. Many new solar systems work well for different types of homes and energy needs.

According to the plan, Vietnam Electricity will pay for the surplus energy from the local solar power system to the national grid in alignment with the average market electricity price of the previous year.

Rooftop solar now accounts for 11.2% of Australia’s electricity supply, with households and businesses playing a leading role in Australia’s renewable energy transition, according to the Clean Energy Council’s new Rooftop Solar and Storage Report.

In a bid to achieve its net-zero target by 2050, Thailand's retail giant Central Group is intensifying its sustainability initiatives in Vietnam. This includes the expansion of rooftop solar installations and efforts to reduce energy consumption, aimed at mitigating the impact of Vietnam's unstable power supply.

The Climate Council has launched a new plan to seize the sun and capitalise on Australia’s rooftop solar strengths, double our solar power capacity and install two million household batteries by the end of the decade.

Thermoelectric generators that can convert waste heat to clean energy could soon be as efficient as other renewable energy sources, like solar, according to a team led by Penn State scientists.

Aware of the demand for green energy, industrial parks have retrofitted rooftop solar power systems to increase competitiveness and attract investors.

Annual savings of $20 billion are possible across six Southeastern states by reaching 45% solar generation by 2035, according to a national laboratory study.

MOST (molecular solar thermal energy storage systems) combines a silicon solar cell with an innovative storage system. This cutting-edge breakthrough not only addresses the pressing issues but also paves the way for a new era of sustainable energy storage. It achieves a record energy storage efficiency of 2.3%.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.

Solar power is a significantly energy efficient method for UK to save energy bills.

UK government urged to change regulations so new homes incorporate solar panels, heat pump, high-grade insulation and battery storage.

Bac Giang province sets a goal of saving at least 2% of the total annual electricity consumption in the 2023 - 2025 period.

Local governments in the Philippines are promoting green energy and sustainable development. The Iloilo City government has tapped solar power to meet at least one-third of its around 200 KW daily demand.

The Indonesian Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing is encouraging the development of green buildings and increasing energy efficiency through the use of modern technology, including rooftop solar power plants.
