Just submitted my Feed In Tariff readings for solar panel output over the last three months. It's the highest it has been since 2020 and the second highest Spring ever for my installation. Nice to know that after 9½ years on the roof the panels are still going strong! #SolarPower #Solar #GreenEnergy #Green #Renewables #RenewableEnergy

Might be a shot in the dark, but is there anyone out there self-hosting Navidrome on a Raspberry Pi (or other device), and powering it using solar power?

Investment risk for energy infrastructure construction is highest for nuclear power plants, lowest for solar https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/05/250519204507.htm

ScienceDailyInvestment risk for energy infrastructure construction is highest for nuclear power plants, lowest for solarThe average energy project costs 40% more than expected for construction and takes almost two years longer than planned, finds a new global study. One key insight: The investment risk is highest for nuclear power plant construction and lowest for solar. The researchers analyzed data from 662 energy projects built between 1936 and 2024 in 83 countries, totaling $1.358 trillion in investment.

pv magazine InternationalChina installs record 36 GW of rooftop solar in Q1 as new rules drive surgeChina installed a record 60 GW of new PV capacity in the first quarter of 2025, driven by a surge in rooftop deployment ahead of updated grid-access rules, says Rystad Energy. It predicts that rooftop growth will continue, but new self-consumption mandates are reshaping regional development strategies and increasing project complexity.

"Scientists have used solar power to heat an object to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius) — hot enough to power a steel furnace. The proof-of-concept study, published May 15 in the journal Device, demonstrates how solar energy could replace fossil fuels in high-temperature manufacturing processes, such as smelting steel."
