Photovoltaic Cells Installed Directly on Concrete Tiles Capture Solar Energy, Replacing Traditional Solar Panels.

The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) has granted Eternit the authorization to sell concrete tiles capable of producing solar energy. With the certification, the company can now start selling the product. The Director of Aneel Highlights Billion-Dollar Investment in Solar Energy in Paraíba with the Expectation of Generating 50 Thousand Jobs in the Region by 2025

The photovoltaic cells installed directly on the tiles capture solar energy, replacing traditional solar panels. The construction materials manufacturer and responsible for the technology expects that its commercialization will only begin in the second quarter of 2021.

Each solar tile from Eternit Solar produces 9.16 watts and measures 365 x 475 mm. The average monthly production capacity of a single tile is 1.15 Kilowatt-hours per month (kWh/month). The concrete models have two finish options and five colors: graphite gray, pearl gray, straw ivory, colonial beige, and red.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Driven by the BBB showcase, the Chinese Hatch surges in retail, surpasses the Corolla Cross, and begins to threaten Hyundai and BYD in one of the month’s most unexpected turns.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.

At a depth of 914 meters, a team accidentally discovers a pirate ship with cannons, a telescope, and objects from three continents on the seabed, uncovering a mystery that has haunted Europe for centuries.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.
