🚨News alert!🚨 Ascent is honored to be included in today's The Wall Street Journal article entitled, "Combining Solar Power With Farming Is Getting Easier. Developers Are Wary of Added Costs" "Thornton, Colo.-based company Ascent Solar Technologies manufactures flexible solar panels that cost three or four times more per watt than traditional PV panels... ...'They pay you to grow crops and they give you subsidies to grow #solar, which, if you actually do agrivoltaics, it’s a win-win,' Ascent CEO Paul Warley said." “I’m probably going to have to go open up an office in Europe,” Warley said. https://lnkd.in/eMzDWYPF #solarpower #solarenergy #agrivoltaics

The #space #solar power project, announced on Oct. 21, is a partnership between U.K.-based Space Solar, Reykjavik Energy and Icelandic sustainability initiative Transition Labs 🤝 It intends to launch a demonstrator satellite by 2030, which will beam to Earth 30 megawatts of #cleanenergy — enough to power about 3,000 homes ☀️ 🛰️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dGPDWjS4 Via Space.com

Solar power from space? Actually, it might happen in a couple of years, via Ars Technica "If the demonstration is successful, Aetherflux plans to follow up with increasingly larger constellations of low-Earth orbit satellites that can collectively provide continuous, clean power on a more meaningful scale. Initially, this #renewableenergy stream could supply remote areas without reliable grids, such as disaster zones, #mining operations, and #military bases." 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e6bVEjKU

ICYMI: "Under a Texas sun, #agrivoltaics offer farmers a new way to make money" via The Washington Post: https://lnkd.in/gqAb2TdM From the article: 💡 Solar grazing provides proven benefits to the land as well. Unlike emission-producing mowers and toxic herbicides, sheep convert vegetation into a natural fertilizer, restoring soil health. #agriculture 💡 The industry is projected to be valued at $9.3 billion by 2031. 💡 There is growing interest in grazing cattle underneath solar panels. This year, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Large Animal and Solar System Operations (#LASSO) Prize, providing millions of dollars for research around solar development and cattle grazing. #farming #solarpower #solarenergy

“This goal of having infrastructure in space that’s truly resilient to conditions on the ground is really appealing,” said Baiju Bhatt, the billionaire cofounder of fintech company Robinhood 📢 His company, Aetherflux, aims to build a constellation of power-generating satellites and receiving stations 🛰️ The story goes on to say "one big advantage of this approach is that it allows for smaller, cheaper satellites instead of large, costly satellites or solar arrays, which makes both iteration and scale easier and reduces launch costs." 💪 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eDQ28dMd #spacetech #solarpower #solarenergy
