Not here, though. We have to pay full retail because the US Senate is garbage. China is rolling out solar like nobody's business. Europe allows plug-in solar panels. Only 10 states do here, because we're America, home of fascism, liars, and frauds in suits with long red ties around their necks, tied to beds binding the wrists and ankles of frightened children at Epstein's.

Double harvest: #raspberries and #RenewableEnergy - #FruitLogistica
Excerpts: "Based on current findings, strawberries do not thrive under #SolarPanels, so this combination of crops does not have a promising future. This was the conclusion of a Wageningen University study on fruit cultivation beneath #photovoltaic systems.
Strawberries grown beneath solar panels with 25 to 50 per cent light transmission experienced a significant drop in yield – by 25 to 30 per cent.
The situation was quite different for raspberries, however: under solar panels with 40 per cent light transmission, the harvest yield fell by only five per cent, and the quality of the fruit remained unchanged. At the same time, the panels reduced evaporation and water consumption, protecting the berries from burns and heat peaks.
The scientists also expect positive effects on #WaterConsumption and protection against #ExtremeWeather conditions.
[...]
One clear advantage is that raspberries are currently grown under rain protection films that have to be replaced every five to seven years. This equates to a significant amount of plastic that would no longer be required if solar modules were used instead. And they last at least ten years."

Video - Cuba’s Green Solution to the U.S. Oil Blockade: #SolarPowered Electric Tricycles
https://peertube.world/w/ghzAPXvGNjjy2M36YTk4pE
Duration - 2:44[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Electric tricycles have exploded across Cuba as the country faces extreme fuel shortages due to the #US-imposed #oil #blockade. But blackouts now last so long — 20 or more hours a day — there isn’t enough electricity to charge them.
So drivers are now installing #SolarPanels on top of their tricycles.
“As long as the sun is out, it’s charging the battery,” says Evanys Peréz. “Now we can travel up to 90 miles.”

Answer: "No."
Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

Ever since I got some new #Inverter and #Batteries for my #SolarPanels, I’ve been looking for a way to process the data they produce. To be sure, the manufacturer has a nice #WebApp but I wanted something I could tinker with. Therefore, a while ago, I bought a #HomeAssistantGreen, which is basically a #RaspberryPi #SBC which is pre-loaded with #HAOS and so is a functioning #HomeAssistant instance.

Tonight @Kuniti_shino needs to raise $20-$30 to cover EV charging so mizu can go get the SNAP/EBT card from an annoyingly distant county office (counties in this area are pooling services in adjacent counties sometimes).
The Vulpibus also needs fuel, around $180 worth.
The most recent money went to groceries, props for the rest of the solar panels, electronics parts cleaner fluid for the bus engine connections and a sillcock key for ease of water access in towns and cities.Please send funds to:
PAYPAL https://paypal.me/inaraclocks
or KO-FI https://ko-fi.com/inamruzui as these put the money in the right place for use with EVGo and connected charging networks like Chargepoint.
If you want to donate via other means, please ask, we do have other options.We have now banded together with other vehicle dwellers to begin to construct our first convoy. It's happening, with your help!

The #Vulpibus folks are now just past the halfway point of their journey, which is only possible thanks to your #fedihelp #mutualaid!
But to get all the way there #gtfomystate, hundreds of dollars are still needed for the cost of fuel and food in this capitalist nightmare, and a few hundred more for preventing their car from being towed away for non payment of loans and insurance.
Let's call the goal $1000 over this next few days. This will help with a couple of maintenance things too hopefully.
Progress was made this last few days on the #electrical breaker box, on sewing of a lovely cloak for Inara, and on the gene editing system ( https://gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com and be sure to familiarise yourself with Qt Creator if you want to see the concepts being laid out first paw).
You are all amazing people living in this same messed up world as us. You know what you can and cannot manage to do. Be strong. Be loved. Receive the tolerance you give.

#Freestuff along the route always appreciated and considered.
One thing currently on the to get list is a clothes washing machine, preferably front load as a single or small unit sized combo machine with tumble dryer.
Another is a countertop sized dishwasher.
And a three quarters height, narrow width fridge-freezer.
If you have any of these spare in IA, NE or CO in working or easy-repair condition, please let us know.

When the bus reaches its destination, a commune is to be established with its own off grid systems and food growing. The lab is to be expanded. We intend to help people escape and learn and transform into what they truly want to be.
When I say we, I mean a broad loose-knit network of agents across the world who are a decentralised, unstoppable force for good. The Vulpibus is a catalyst and a tool, the people know how to use it.
Atha is to me a being with great potential focussing on survival when hir real impact should be felt from hir work on gene editing tools for freedom of form.
I fight for hir and everyone to get a fair chance at making that happen. I fight with nice words, sharp words and blunt words, and if needed I will fight with weapons.
A good Nazi is one remembered in history as the discarded husk of our disgraceful mistakes gone by, long since eroded to dust. That starts not just with brute force, but by confounding their efforts in sheer fucking spite.
Join with us now to do just that.

I'm helping the #Vulpibus folks get their shit together by raising awareness and (while capitalism is still ruling the roost and we are not ready to take it down) funds, so they can get on with surviving and building and travelling.
Today they are working on aerodynamic cowls for the solar panels and trying to raise funds for fuel and a tyre.
Can we do it?
$30/$400 for the tyre
$60/$1600 for fuel to cross the country
$0/$150/week for foodAnd there is a need to get an engine diagnostic device too, we will talk more about that soon.

The next-generation #SolarCell is fully #recyclable
12 February 2025
Anders Törneholm"In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous #solvents. The recycled solar cell has the same efficiency as the original one. The solar cell is made of #perovskite and the main solvent is water."

Korean Scientists Create ‘INVISIBLE SOLAR PANELS’ That Allow Windows To Generate Electricity
Eco-friendly #SolarPanels
"The advancements in materials science, particularly in the development of #perovskite and #QuantumDot solar cells, are setting the stage for a revolution in solar technology. These materials offer improvements in efficiency and versatility, promising to transform vast expanses of glass into power-generating surfaces that are both effective and unobtrusive."
Posted by Emily Hart
January 26, 2025"Korean scientists have introduced a groundbreaking innovation—transparent solar panels—that can transform windows into power-generating surfaces without compromising their transparency. In today’s densely populated urban landscapes, where space is a premium, this technology offers a solution to the spatial limitations of traditional solar panels, seamlessly integrating renewable energy generation into modern cityscapes.
"These 'invisible' solar panels represent a revolutionary step toward a sustainable and energy-efficient future, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
"The journey toward transparent solar technology took a significant leap in 2014 when researchers at Michigan State University developed the first fully transparent solar concentrator. This technology uses organic molecules to absorb non-visible wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and near-infrared, while allowing visible light to pass through.
"The absorbed energy is directed to the edges of the panel, where thin strips of photovoltaic cells convert it into electricity. This innovative approach ensures that windows and other transparent surfaces can generate electricity without losing clarity or altering their appearance.
"Since its inception, transparent solar technology has evolved, achieving remarkable strides in energy efficiency and practical applications. Initially, these panels operated with an energy conversion efficiency of just 1%, but recent advancements have pushed this figure to nearly 10%.
"Researchers like Richard Lunt from Michigan State University have focused on enhancing efficiency and scalability, envisioning a future where any glass surface can double as a power generator. These advancements hold the potential to revolutionize renewable energy deployment, particularly in urban settings, where traditional solar panels are less feasible.
"The applications of transparent solar panels are vast and diverse, spanning multiple industries. In architecture, these panels can be seamlessly integrated into buildings as windows, facades, or skylights, turning structures into self-sustaining energy sources. Urban infrastructure, such as bus stops, train stations, and public spaces, can adopt these panels to generate electricity without compromising design.
"Consumer electronics, including smartphones, wearables, and portable devices, stand to benefit from embedded transparent solar panels, reducing reliance on frequent recharging. The transportation sector is also exploring this technology, envisioning its use in vehicles, airplanes, and other mobility solutions.
"Despite their initial lag in efficiency compared to traditional opaque solar panels, ongoing research in advanced materials like perovskite and quantum dots has significantly narrowed the gap.
"These materials enhance light absorption and energy conversion rates while reducing production costs, making transparent solar panels increasingly competitive. Companies like Ubiquitous Energy are leading the way in commercializing these technologies, achieving conversion efficiencies close to 10% and exploring scalable manufacturing processes.
"The future of transparent solar panels is promising. As research continues and production methods improve, these panels are expected to become more accessible and affordable, accelerating their adoption across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Their ability to integrate into existing infrastructure without requiring additional land makes them particularly attractive for urban areas, where sustainability and space efficiency are paramount."
