EDF Renewables North America has completed two solar projects, according to the company. According to EDF Renewables, it has completed the Maverick 1 (173.4 MWdc) and Maverick 4 (135.9 MWdc) Solar Project, both part of the Panel Solar project in Riverside County. The company said Maverick 1 is providing electricity to Southern California Edison on a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), and Maverick 4 is providing energy to Shell Energy North America (US), L.P. The two projects produce enough energy to power around 110,000 average California homes.

Physicists Observe Fleeting Polaron Quasiparticles For The First Time
19 JANUARY 2021
Polarons are important nanoscale phenomena: a transient configuration between electrons and atoms (known as quasiparticles) that exist for only trillionths of a second.
These configurations have unique characteristics that can help us understand some of the mysterious behaviours of the materials they form within – and scientists have just observed them for the first time.
Polarons were measured in lead hybrid perovskites, next-gen solar cell materials that promise to boost conversion rates beyond the silicon panels that are primarily used today. Scientists are hoping that polaron observations will go some way to telling us exactly how perovskites turn sunlight into electricity so well.
By Sarah McFarlane LONDON French energy giant Total SE said it would pay $2.5 billion for a 20% stake in the world s largest solar developer, the latest move by an oil major to expand in renewable power. Total said Monday the investment in Adani Green Energy Ltd. would help it meet its targets for generating more power from low-carbon sources amid a continuing global transition away from fossil fuels a shift some analysts say is being accelerated by the pandemic. The company, along with other oil majors including BP PLC and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, has pledged to increase spending on renewable energy such as wind and solar power in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. Total plans to spend $3 billion a year on renewables by 2030, around 20% of its annual investment budget and up from $2 billion last year.
