Floating Solar Project of 1,800 MWh/year (megawatt-hour per year) in Bavaria, Germany, that uses vertically stacked, east-west-oriented solar panels to maximize energy generation on a small water surface. This innovative design allows it to generate significant clean energy while complying with German regulations that restrict floating solar projects from covering more than 15% of a water body's surface. The project aims to make floating solar feasible in smaller water bodies and will help meet the region's energy demand by balancing electricity generation throughout the day. Project: -

Floating Solar Project of 1,800 MWh/year (megawatt-hour per year)  in Bavaria, Germany, that uses vertically stacked, east-west-oriented solar panels to maximize energy generation on a small water surface. 
  This innovative design allows it to generate significant clean energy while complying with German regulations that restrict floating solar projects from covering more than 15% of a water body's surface. The project aims to make floating solar feasible in smaller water bodies and will help meet the region's energy demand by balancing electricity generation throughout the day. 
Project: -
A floating solar farm with a capacity that generates 1,800 MWh of energy annually.
Location: -
A gravel pit in Gilching, Bavaria, Germany.
Key Innovation:-
 Vertically stacked solar panels arranged in an east-to-west orientation to overcome regulations that limit the surface area used by floating solar projects.
Benefits:-
Maximizes energy production on small bodies of water that were previously unsuitable for solar projects.
Reduces the surface area required for the solar farm.
Generates electricity in the morning and afternoon, which aligns with the daytime operational needs of the gravel plant it will power.
Minimizes the strain on the electrical grid by providing power during peak demand times.
Timeline: -
Construction began with lake preparation and anchoring in August 2025, followed by the construction of the photovoltaic station in September 2025. 
The world's most ambitious water-based energy project unveiled 
15 Nov 2025 — The novel vertically stacked layout solves key regulatory challenges set forth by the Renewable Energy Act in Germany, which restricts the use of flo...

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
