Stephens said if the market can reach "a few hundred thousand cars" in California, it can be cost-competitive with gasoline. That represents a big jump from the 6,000 cars sold so far, but most new auto markets start with limited production runs. Toyota has said it plans to increase production from 3,000 Mirai units per year to 30,000 cars by 2021. "That is a tenfold magnitude increase."

Chuanfang Zhang, PhD, a post-doctoral researcher at Trinity and lead author of the study, also notes that the production of the MXene anodes, by slurry-casting, is easily scalable for mass production of anodes of any size, which means they could make their way into batteries that power just about any of our devices.

This article was amended on 11/2/2019 to reflect that Redback Technologies produces its hybrid inverters overseas. 

But he’s very happy with his system so far. He says he can typically spot a system malfunction using an app on his phone called SolarEdge, which collects real-time data from his rooftop as well as daily, hourly, and monthly data on his output.

The microgrid, which incorporates solar PV panels, a natural gas reciprocating engine and an advanced battery storage system, was installed earlier this year and provides clean, resilient energy for a facility on the 200-acre Shell Technology Center Houston (STCH) campus. Home to nearly 2,000 Shell scientists, technologists and engineers, the STCH is the largest of the three Shell technology hubs; the others are in Amsterdam and Bangalore.

Then during Intersolar Europe, on June 21, reports of a global PV module price collapse came flooding in, with PVInsights estimating that average PV module prices had fallen to $0.278 per watt for standard multicrystalline modules, while multi-PERC modules came in at an average of $0.337 per watt, and mono-PERC modules at $0.363 per watt. Taiwan-based EnergyTrend also reported average prices of $0.295 per watt to $0.367 per watt, depending on the module type.

About the University of Arkansas: The University of Arkansas provides an internationally competitive education for undergraduate and graduate students in more than 200 academic programs. The university contributes new knowledge, economic development, basic and applied research, and creative activity while also providing service to academic and professional disciplines. The Carnegie Foundation classifies the University of Arkansas among only 2 percent of universities in America that have the highest level of research activity. U.S. News & World Report ranks the University of Arkansas among its top American public research universities. Founded in 1871, the University of Arkansas comprises 10 colleges and schools and maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio that promotes personal attention and close mentoring.

Inverters are a part of the solar photovoltaic system that converts the direct current from the solar array into alternating current power, which is then distributed onto the electric grid. The inverters monitor and control the solar photovoltaic systems.

Niles said that in the past, the type of solar modules was considered the most consequential choice for customers in a solar array. The biggest consideration now is the choice of inverter.
