A city better known for its Soviet-era architecture now hosting one of Eastern Europe's most ambitious renewable energy experiments. The Minsk Solar Energy Storage Project isn't just about panels and batteries—it's rewriting Belarus' energy playbook. Read MoreDownload files
A California sunset glows over Monrovia while 500 megawatt-hours of stored solar energy quietly feeds the local grid. That’s the Monrovia Shared Energy Storage Project in action – and it’s rewriting the rules of how communities handle electricity. Read MoreDownload files
At its core, the facility uses lithium-ion batteries—the same tech in your smartphone, just scaled up 500,000 times. But here's the kicker: it’s paired with an AI-powered energy traffic controller that predicts weather patterns and electricity demand better than Panama’s best meteorologist. Read MoreDownload files

Solar energy was first discovered in 1839 by Alexandre Edmond Becquerel. He found that when a piece of selenium was exposed to light, it produced an electrical current. This discovery is what eventually led to the development and use of photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight into electricity. Read MoreDownload files
