CalWave Power Technologies Inc. said it has concluded its open-ocean wave energy pilot after 10 months of operation off the coast of San Diego, Calif., reporting a more than 99% system uptime during the test.

San Diego-based startup Pathway Power said it received a $36 million strategic investment from Forest Road Renewables, a climate-focused infrastructure platform within The Forest Road Company. 

The funding will enable Pathway Power to work toward delivering a pipeline of 2 GW of installed capacity across North America.

San Francisco-based Aurora Solar said that 10 million solar sites worldwide have been designed with its platform. The milestone doubles the 5 million mark the company said it reached in April 2021.

The cloud-based platform uses data, automation, and AI to streamline workflows and grow solar businesses. Aurora said that 7,000 solar developers use its software.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Seventeen states with vehicle emission standards tied to rules established in California face weighty decisions on whether to follow that state’s strictest-in-the nation new rules that require all new cars, pickups, and SUVs to be 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday brought back John Podesta, a behind-the-scenes veteran at getting things done on climate in past Democratic administrations, to put into place an ambitious U.S. climate program newly revived by $375 billion from Congress.

Ameresco and Inovateus Solar said they completed a 2.62 MW solar project at a former General Motors Powertrain Division Plant turned brownfield site in Illinois. Greenbacker Renewable Energy is the project owner.

The Danville solar system includes more than 6,600 solar modules and is connected to the Ameren utility grid. The project is expected to generate more than 3,600,000 kWh of electricity and offset over 1,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. 

A team of researchers led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory said they made a technological breakthrough and constructed a perovskite solar cell with the dual benefits of being both highly efficient and highly stable.

The researchers said that a unique architectural structure enabled them to record a certified stabilized efficiency of 24% under 1-sun illumination. The cell also retained 87% of its original efficiency after 2,400 hours of operation at 55 degrees Celsius.
