Educational Cube (E-Cube) is a compact DIY nano-satellite kit designed to teach beginners and students the fundamentals of satellite technology. Based on the CubeSat standard, the 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm platform can be assembled and programmed in a typical classroom or makerspace. After building the hardware and uploading the code, users can view live telemetry on…

SolarSquare, a Mumbai-based solar installation startup, has raised $40 million in a Series B funding round with Lightspeed Venture Partners leading the investment and additional support from Lightrock, Elevation Capital and other investors. Founded in 2015, SolarSquare specializes in residential solar installations and has already helped over 20,000 homes and 200…

​In this article, we are going to discuss how to transfer audio through laser light. This is a fun little project, and the concept is similar to what we see in fibre optics cable. We will use a laser light to send data from one point to another. To be particular, in this project here, we are going to transfer our voice from one point to another by shining a laser light on a solar panel. This…

The biggest crisis we are heading into is climate change due to excessive use of fossil fuels, and to overcome these issues, we have only one solution, which is utilising Renewable Energy.  Renewable energy is a type of energy that is harnessed from nature without causing ill effects to the environment. One of the most prominent kinds of renewable energy is…

For those who have a keen interest in gardening, a garden light would provide an option to admire the beauty of their plants even during the night time. These lights will normally be placed inside the garden, far from electrical outlets because it is not a good idea to run wires through your garden soil which will be wet and toiled most of the time. This is where Solar-…

This project is the perfect combination of my hobby and my profession. I am an electronics hobbyist and professional automation engineer at Adani Port(Dahej). I used to make Arduino and raspberry pi for home automation and for fun & learning new technology. We have installed 1MW on-grid roof top solar power plant at my company. Plant is installed…

Lightyear, the solar electric vehicle pioneer has successfully tested its 'Lightyear One' prototype car that drove for 710 km on a single charge of 60 kWh. The long-range solar electric vehicle prototype was put to the test at the Aldenhoven Testing Center in Germany, to drive a full drive cycle at a speed of 85 km per hour on a single battery charge of 60 kWh…

In the area of renewable energy, solar energy is at the forefront, because producing energy by using the power of the sun is the easiest and commercially viable way of renewable energy. Speaking of solar panels, the output power of a solar panel output needs to be monitored in order to get optimum power output from the panels. This is why a real-time monitoring system…

We have limited natural resources and that too we are using in generating Electricity. That’s why there is lot of emphasis is given on generating and using clean energy. Today in this project, we will see how electricity can be generated from the sunlight, how it can be stored in the form of DC, and then how it is converted into AC to drive home appliances.

Electronic gadgets like Mobile Phones and IPods have made our lives a lot easier. But, all of them suffer from one common drawback of charging them at regular periodic intervals. This becomes a problem when we are traveling or at a place where electricity is not available. Also using renewable energy source is quoted as the next generation fuel for all our electricity…

In this article, we are going to make a Sun Tracking Solar Panel using Arduino, in which we will use two LDRs (Light-dependent resistor) to sense the light and a servo motor to automatically rotate the solar panel in the direction of the sunlight. The advantage of this project is that the Solar panels will always follow the sunlight will always face the sun to get…
