Swann EVO Wireless Solar Camera – Can This Solar Security Cam Outsmart Arlo & Ring?

Swann EVO Wireless Solar Camera – Can This Solar Security Cam Outsmart Arlo & Ring?

Key Facts Technical Specifications and Features Resolution & Optics: The Swann EVO Solar cam records in 2K Quad HD (about twice the detail of standard 1080p) t3.com. This yields clear video quality where faces and objects can be distinguished more easily than on older 1080p cameras. It uses a fixed lens with a 120° wide viewing angle, minimizing blind spots and covering more area with a single camera us.swann.com. Zoom is digital-only. In low light, the camera switches to infrared night vision, using IR LEDs to see up to roughly 8 meters au.swann.com. (Because it has no white LED spotlight, night

Rocket Launches, Ransomware, and a Solar-Powered Vatican: This Weekend’s Top Tech News (Aug 2–3, 2025)

Rocket Launches, Ransomware, and a Solar-Powered Vatican: This Weekend’s Top Tech News (Aug 2–3, 2025)

Apple forecast higher revenue for the upcoming quarter after a tariff-driven early surge in iPhone purchases aimed at beating U.S. import tariffs. Nintendo said its Switch 2 sold over 6 million units in the first seven weeks after the June debut and kept its full-year forecast at 15 million Switch 2 consoles through March 2026. TSMC reported a 60.7% year‑over‑year jump in Q2 net profit to NT$398.3 billion, a record, helped by demand for advanced chips across data centers and smartphones. AMD began shipping the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 series, featuring up to 96 cores on Zen 5, with rollout

This New Solar Panel Tech Works Even at Night

This New Solar Panel Tech Works Even at Night

Thermoradiative energy generation, nicknamed night-time solar, produces electricity by emitting infrared radiation to the cold night sky when the device is warmer than its surroundings. Unlike conventional solar cells that absorb sunlight, thermoradiative devices emit photons to space, effectively running as a solar cell in reverse and using the Earth–space temperature difference at night. In 2020, Jeremy Munday and colleagues proposed an anti-solar cell that could theoretically produce up to about 50 W/m² at night under ideal conditions. In 2022, UNSW Sydney demonstrated the first unambiguous lab power from a thermoradiative diode using mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe), generating nanowatts and

Renewable Revolution 2025: Game-Changing Innovations in Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Bioenergy & Hydropower

Renewable Revolution 2025: Game-Changing Innovations in Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Bioenergy & Hydropower

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells achieved about 29% efficiency on commercial-size cells, exceeding traditional silicon panels. Bifacial solar panels boost energy yields by up to 30% in reflective environments such as snow or sand. Floating solar farms can raise output by roughly 15% due to water cooling of the panels. Covering 10% of the world’s reservoirs with floating solar could yield about 20 TW of capacity, roughly 20 times today’s global solar capacity. Offshore wind turbines now reach 15–18 MW per turbine, enabling major capacity gains in deep waters. Floating offshore wind pilots have been launched by Norway, France, and Japan,

1MW vs 100kW Solar Power Plants – Cost, ROI & Global Insights (India in Focus)

1MW vs 100kW Solar Power Plants – Cost, ROI & Global Insights (India in Focus)

100 kW solar plants typically use about 250 panels of ~400 W each, cover roughly 600–1,000 m², and generate about 150,000–175,000 kWh per year, enough to serve 15–30 homes. 1 MW solar farms deploy about 2,500 panels of ~400 W each, require ~16,000–20,000 m² (4–5 acres) of land, and produce around 1,600,000–1,800,000 kWh annually, enough for about 150–200 homes. In India, a 100 kW system costs about ₹50–80 lakh (₹0.5–0.8 crore) and a 1 MW system about ₹4–5 crore, roughly ₹60–₹80/W for 100 kW versus ₹40–₹50/W for 1 MW. India’s LCOE estimates place 100 kW at roughly ₹3–5/kWh and 1

Beaming the Watts Down: NASA × Ascent Solar’s Thin-Film Array Sets the Stage for Space-to-Earth Power Transmission

Beaming the Watts Down: NASA × Ascent Solar’s Thin-Film Array Sets the Stage for Space-to-Earth Power Transmission

The space-based solar power (SBSP) concept was proposed in 1968 by Peter Glaser to place satellites in orbit and beam power to Earth. In 2023 Caltech’s Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1) conducted three beaming tests in May, June, and July 2023 using the MAPLE flexible array to show ground reception of orbital power. In June 2025, Ascent Solar announced a 12-month Collaborative Agreement with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and Glenn Research Center (GRC) to develop thin-film PV arrays for power beaming. Ascent’s copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) thin-film modules achieve about 15.7% production efficiency, with the Titan line targeting 17%+ efficiency
