The latest issue of EIA’s “Electric Power Monthly” (with data through January 31, 2021) reveals that utility-scale solar thermal and photovoltaic plants produced 23.1% more electricity in January 2021 than they did a year earlier, while estimated small-scale solar (residential) increased by 18.8%. Combined, solar grew 21.7% and provided 2.4% of the nation’s electrical output in the first month of 2021.

Solar-powered water filter removes lead, other contaminants
Water World
A new invention that uses sunlight to drive water purification could help solve the problem of providing clean water off the grid.
The device resembles a large sponge that soaks up water but leaves contaminants — like lead, oil and pathogens — behind. To collect the purified water from the sponge, one simply places it in sunlight. The researchers described the device in a paper published this week in the journal Advanced Materials.
