Combining Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and the Circular Economy is a potent way to creating energy-efficient and sustainable structures. The convergence of BIPV and the Circular Economy gives a compelling potential to transform the way we design and run buildings. It is a hopeful step toward greater energy efficiency, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and a more […]

Solar Energy in Transforming to a Decentralized Energy System
The notion of a decentralized energy system has attracted major interest as the world strives to minimize reliance on fossil fuels and move to a more sustainable energy system. A decentralized energy system generates energy from many sources that are closer to the point of use. Solar energy, among other renewable energy sources, is critical […]
Why Solar is the Perfect RE for the Philippines
Over the decades, the industry of Renewable Energy can be seen on the rise. The strong emergence in the Philippines began a few years back due to the decline of solar panel’s price. The positioning of the country seems to be the perfect one for harnessing solar energy. Here are some reasons why solar is […]
Environmental Impacts of Solar Energy
The sun is a tremendous source of generating clean and sustainable energy. It produces energy without any trace of CO2 emissions and toxic pollutants. The potential environmental impacts of solar energy vary greatly depending on technology – photovoltaic (PV) cells or concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP). The size and scale of the system are to be […]
Solar Power – The Future of Philippines
Solar energy is proven as one of the most promising energy sources. It has established a wide use in the global energy mix. Despite its potential and proven benefits over the years, the Philippines is lagging behind in policy implementation and deployment. Meanwhile, Southeast Asian countries are already counting years embracing solar power. Urgent implementation […]
Fossil Fuel vs. Renewable Energy (RE)
Fossil fuels have been our major source of energy ever since. A study from the Russian Academy of Science implies that until the end of the century, fossil fuel will be in demand. However, aside from the fact that these fossil fuel plants stress our environment, it will also be inevitably inadequate. Hence, the cost […]
ARE SOLAR CARPORTS WORTH IT?
According to recent estimates, the world’s current population is at 7.6 billion, continuously growing through time. With this, there is also an adjacent estimate of at least 1.8 billion cars on the road; the demand and usage of parking slots are heavy. It has been noted that in most cities, 40% of the area is […]
