Insights into the cleantech industry by Dr. Benjamin Silcox
Smarter E Europe highlighted trends in utility-scale PV, digitalization, C&I solutions, evolving BESS designs, HEMS consolidation, and rising sodium-ion tech amid regulatory uncertainty and market hesitation among solar and mounting players.
This article focuses on lithium-sulfur batteries and is the third of a three-part series exploring key cutting-edge battery technologies, their potential impacts on the lithium-ion incumbent, and the timeline for their development and commercialization.
To support the energy transition, power grids need modernization and efficient inspections. Drones and AI are transforming grid inspections by reducing costs, improving image capture and enabling “virtual” analysis.
In this article, the authors discuss the unique advantages, ongoing challenges, and the promising future of sodium-ion batteries as they move closer to widespread commercial adoption.
Conclusions and highlights from The smarter E Europe, Munich, June 2024. Key topics include the recovery of the residential PV market, China’s solar panel price drop, advancements in sodium-ion batteries, and the continued relevance of nickel-based cathodes in EVs.
