If you’re a Nigerian living in 2025, you understand two things with absolute certainty: the cost of running a generator is crippling, and the national grid is, to put it mildly, unpredictable. The constant hum of generators is the soundtrack to our evenings, and the monthly fuel budget feels like a second rent. But what if there was a way to declare independence from this cycle? Welcome to the world of solar power. For years, solar energy was seen as a luxury reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Today, thanks to advancements in technology and a more competitive market, it has become a practical, achievable, and financially sound investment for millions of Nigerian homes and businesses. It’s no longer a question of if you should go solar, but how—and for how much. This is the most comprehensive, no-fluff guide to...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will come withing 6.1 million kilometers of the sun, closer than any other spacecraft. Credit: ASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Steve GribbenWASHINGTON — A NASA spacecraft is performing better than expected as it makes its closest approach to the sun this week. Parker Solar Probe will pass 6.1 million kilometers from the sun at 6:53 a.m. Eastern Dec. 24, the closest approach to the sun by this or any other spacecraft. At the time of closest approach, the spacecraft will be traveling 191 kilometers per second. The spacecraft launched in 2018 and used a series of gravity-assist flybys of Venus to lower its perihelion. The final Venus flyby, on Nov. 6, set up the spacecraft for this perihelion, the closest the spacecraft will fly to the sun on its mission. “On Christmas Eve of this year, Parker...

IRENA: Solar PV is the only technology on track to meet 2030 investment targets

Technology tamfitronics These figures are slightly less optimistic than similar numbers published by Ember Climate last month, which assessed the world’s 2023 solar capacity additions to be 459.5GW. Both organisations, however, note that solar dominates the world’s clean energy capacity additions, with IRENA noting that, in 2023, the world added just 114.5GW of new wind capacity, the second-most among technologies, behind solar.The graph above compares the IRENA’s forecasts for the next six years to similar predictions made by the International Energy Agency (IEA) last week. The graph demonstrates that, while IRENA’s overall forecasts are more optimistic—expecting the world to have installed 11,174GW of renewable power generation capacity by 2030, compared to less than 10,000GW in the IEA forecast—the IRENA forecast suggests that solar power will make up a smaller portion of this energy mix.However, the...

Top Stories Tamfitronics Output of Hungary’s industrial-scale solar parks with a capacity of over 50 kW reached a record 3,242 MW last Friday in the quarter hour between 1 pm and 1.15 pm, the energy ministry said on Facebook.Citing data from state-owned transmission system operator Mavir, the ministry said that, including household solar panels, Hungary’s solar power output exceeded the 2030 target output of 6,000 MW as early as February this year, and was now approaching 6,800 MW.The ministry said that by the end of August, 1,134 quarter hours had seen solar power output exceed last year’s high of 2,731 MW.A new milestone has been reached with the completion of soil works under Block 5 of the Paks nuclear power plant, and similar works under Block 6 are under way, Pter Szijjrt, the minister of...
