Balcony solar power systems generate electricity with no direct greenhouse gas emissions during operation. A typical plug-in solar setup. Balcony solar (also known as “plug-in solar”) consists of 1–3 portable, lightweight panels that attach to a balcony railing, patio, or fence. They work well in small places like balconies, perfect for city homes. These systems turn sunlight into electricity, cutting down on grid power use and saving money on energy bills. In Germany, there are over 500,000 balcony solar.

Now that FERC has granted a preliminary permit for the pumped storage project at Cuffs Run, York Energy Storage will have at least four years to raise an estimated $12. 5 million and complete multiple studies about the project.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PS) is the largest form of renewable energy storage, with nearly 200 GW installed capacity, providing more than 90% of all long duration energy storage across the world with more than 400 projects in operation.
At night, water is pumped uphill to the higher reservoir, then sent back down through electricity-generating turbines when energy demand peaks or renewable resources can't generate electricity, helping to ensure grid stability during system-stressing events like record-hot summers. Pumped storage projects, however, can't just be built anywhere.
So the majority of the nearly 100 pumped storage projects currently in the preliminary phase with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission are throughout the mountainous Western U.S.
“What makes pumped storage so unique and valuable in the energy transition is its ability to provide additional power when it's needed most,” said Malcolm Woolf, president and CEO of the National Hydropower Association. Pumped storage requires two water reservoirs, one above the other.
Supporters of the project, however, argue that pumped storage is the cheapest and most reliable way to provide the electricity storage needed for the clean energy transition and will help stimulate a rural community's economy. The project is far from being a done deal, said Matthew Shapiro, the company's CEO.
Closed loop pumped storage projects need water to work, usually by pumping aquifers or by bringing in surface water from a nearby river or lake (pumped storage can be built along a river, called open-loop, but such projects have received less support because they require dams, which have drawn fierce pushback in recent years ).

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a novel magnesium-based electrolyte, paving the way for more sustainable and cost-effective batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewa.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have emerged as a highly promising post-lithium battery systems owing to their high safety, the abundant Magnesium (Mg) resources, and superior energy density. Nevertheless, the sluggish kinetics has severely limited the performance of RMBs.
Magnesium batteries have been talked up quite a bit since the early 2000s. They dropped off the CleanTechnica radar about five years ago, but some key advances are beginning to crop up, and now would be a good time to catch up (see our magnesium archive here).
“The theoretical energy density [of magnesium batteries] is at least comparable to lithium-ion batteries, and there is the potential to realize a higher energy density than lithium because there are double the electrons for every individual magnesium ion, compared to lithium,” he said.
This strategy provides insights into accelerating Mg-ion storage kinetics, achieving a promising performance of RMBs especially at high specific current. Rechargeable magnesium batteries offer safety, abundance, and high energy density but are limited by sluggish kinetics.
To prevent passivation at the Mg anode, most rechargeable Mg-ion battery studies use nonaqueous liquid electrolytes composed of complex salts and organic solvents (8 – 12). However, the poor conductivity of organic Mg-ion electrolytes restricts their diffusion kinetics and requires high temperature to maintain battery performance (13).
