Vehicle-to-Gerni: Ioniq 5 EV acts as battery on wheels for flood clean up

Ioniq 5 electric SUV acts as battery on wheels to help in clean up in flood affected Brisbane areas still without power.

🚿 This electric vehicle helped power flood cleanup efforts this week with vehicle to load technology. With generators sold out, it was a quick way to power pressure washers on the go.

State governments key to unlocking rooftop solar for renters, says thinktank

New study finds coordinated state government policies could be key to breaking down the barriers to installing solar for renters.

Rooftop solar uptake for rental properties currently sits at just 4 per cent, while uptake for owner-occupied homes is approaching 30 per cent - what steps do you think we can take to make solar more available for renters?

Solar Voyager; 3D printed electric vehicle going to Antarctica

To get to the mainland, the team created the Solar Voyager, a 16-meter long, 1,485-kilogram vehicle. It can reach a speed of 8 km / h and contain food for 47 days. But what is most interesting is that it is composed of 4000 3D printed hexagonal blocks. Called HexCore, these blocks look like honeycomb structures, a form that offers both lightness and strength. The Clean2Antarctica team explains that it has shredded plastic waste, melted it to make a 3D printing filament feeding its 40 3D printers. It took 200 pounds of plastic to design the chassis blocks alone!

And an update since the original article:

A car made from waste plastic has been forced to abort its mission to the South Pole because of bad weather.

Solar Voyager was set to be the first solar-powered expedition to reach the world’s most southernmost point.

But despite it being Antarctica’s summer, unexpected heavy snow has meant progress has been slow, and now the team have had to turn around.

The team from Holland say they’ve still achieved their main mission: to prove plastic waste can be put to good use, though they’d rather people avoided using single-use plastic altogether.

What happens to excess solar energy when batteries are full?

If you’re looking at installing a battery supported solar system, or you’ve recently had one installed, you may be wondering how the system works in different situations.

Although your system would’ve been designed to meet your current requirements, you may be wondering what will happen in cases where you use more or less than expected and how your family, the weather, or other variables may impact on your solar system over time.

The actual world’s biggest solar farm-in-the-shape-of-a-panda

There are quite a few news stories being written regarding the world’s largest solar farm that is, incidentally, in the shape of a panda. Based in Datong, China, many have shared the above image of the 100MW farm from Panda Green Energy (come on, go with it) which, despite the appeal, is just an artist’s rendition. Snopes managed to acquire a drone shot of the actual farm, below.

Next, the Materials World blog will tell you Father Christmas isn’t real, take the Tooth Fairy to task, and proving the non-existence of God (QED) before vanishing in a puff of logic.
