Solar power stations are restoring ecosystems in England. So there's another reason conservatives will oppose solar power. https://www.ecoportal.net/en/solar-panels-attract-birds-in-england/20562/ #SolarPower #Solar #Ecology #Environment #Birds

go tell Mark Carney, CBC.

The future of electricity is wind and solar, new report says. Canada is lagging behind

"In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households about 90 minutes south-east of Seoul, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly 10m won ($6,800) in net profit each month. “Residents eat lunch together every day, so we see each other’s faces, talk together,” says Jeon Joo-young, the village chief. “Bonds and solidarity between residents become much stronger. Life becomes more enjoyable.” The shift has been dramatic. Before the solar project launched in 2022, the village of about 130 people had no restaurant, no easy way to move around, and little communal infrastructure. Now solar revenue pays for meals, a village “happiness bus” for elderly people, a table-tennis facility and cultural activities. The village deliberately chose to spend solar income on welfare rather than individual dividends, a decision Jeon says residents made themselves rather than being persuaded." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/16/south-korea-solar-power-renewables-revolution #SouthKorea #SolarEnergy #Renewables #Solar #SolarPower

The Guardian | Britain breaks solar energy record twice as UK’s biggest solar farm gets approval by Jillian Ambrose Energy correspondent Record high set on Monday and raised on Tuesday, with 14.4GW of electricity generated in sunny spring weather Britain’s sunny spring weather powered the grid to new solar energy records on two consecutive days this week. Solar farms in England, Wales and Scotland generated 14.1 GW of low-carbon electricity at lunchtime on Monday, surpassing the previous high of 14GW in July last year. Continue reading...

I’ve just seen someone make a good point in response to all the people that moan that solar cells don’t work when the sun isn’t shining and that wind turbines don’t turn when the wind isn’t blowing: oil doesn’t work when the Straight of Hormuz isn’t Hormuzing! #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #WindTurbines #StopTheWar

Spacecraft don’t “plug into a grid” — they survive on perfect power management. 🚀 know more:https://zurl.co/50KZF #Smidmart #SpaceTech #PowerElectronics #Voltmeter#Ammeter#EnergyMonitoring#SpacecraftSystems #BatteryManagement#SolarPower#PowerSubsystem#ReliabilityEngineering

Our solar panels are generating 300 W of juice despite it being morning, still pretty dark, and surprisingly foggy. Looking forward to our first full day of these guys with the naked sun. Maybe this weekend? Maybe? #RooftopSolar #SolarPower #SolarPanels #Solar

Sooooo. A nice IBEW fella came, knocked on the door said we’d have a small blip in power while he confirmed the install AND added the extra meter. Today we formally add solar to the list of things we harvest here at #MacJohnsonFarm, phase 3. Exporting power even with it being super cloudy out. Weeee! #SolarPower #Solar #DisOldHouse #RenewableEnergy #RooftopSolar #KC #Missouri

Germany has quietly become home to over one million tiny solar power plants hanging from apartment balconies and mounted on terraces across the country. These plug-and-play solar systems, called “Balkonkraftwerke” in German, reached this milestone by late June 2025, showing how regular people are taking clean energy into their own hands. https://happyeconews.com/german-balcony-solar-balconkraftwerke/ #SolarPower #Germany
