If you’re playing on console, this is where the funky controls come in. While holding down the ‘left’ button, you’ll need to pump the right trigger – or press it lots of times, to you and me – to charge the battery. It’s supposed to mimic the pumping action Artyom makes on the portable battery charger, but mostly, it’s a bit annoying.

Additionally, Whittten said that SEIA was not contacted for the report, and several recommendations in the report are already underway.

Available with a choice of current ratings (6A, 8A, 10A, 16A or 20A), they offer power electronics system designers a variety of performance advantages, including negligible reverse recovery current, high surge capability and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C, so they are suitable for applications that require enhanced efficiency, reliability and thermal management.

The two biggest names in the U.S. solar trade fight announced they would become one company in April. Three weeks after CEO, Tom Werner told Bloomberg and Reuters that SunPower was looking around for a location to site U.S. manufacturing, the company revealed that this production will not be a greenfield site, but actually the factory of its bitter foe in the Section 201 trade case. This means SunPower will again be a U.S. manufacturer, and SolarWorld Inc. will begin producing P-Series modules.

This course will deliver a detailed understanding of how to size, configure, program and design both on-grid “solar hybrid” systems (solar panels plus battery storage) and off-grid stand-alone power systems. No prior knowledge is required though a basic understanding of solar PV systems is beneficial.

It’s a fair question, one that most British men in their mid-20s can readily answer, but inside one of the country’s most impressive stadiums, it seems a bit dismissive to roll out my usual “I catch the Euros when they’re on.”

Michael Simon covers all things mobile for PCWorld and Macworld. You can usually find him with his nose buried in a screen. The best way to yell at him is on Twitter.

Irish startup SolarMarine Energy got a $225,000 grant from the government last month to develop its floating solar technology. Details are scarce, but the company says it is developing both inshore and offshore platforms.

The largest savings from an electric vehicle is found in their longevity. The Tesla drivetrain has less than a dozen moving parts. Combined with its all-aluminum construction it will last a very long time and could easily travel to 1 million miles with only battery swaps. Some folks have wrongly predicted those swaps will be expensive. With production scaling and new technologies for accessing and recycling critical minerals like lithium and cobalt the cost of Li-ion batteries actually falls year after year. (See chart from Union of Concerned Scientists). The replacement of my batteries at 150,000 + miles will be way cheaper than the engine rebuild and tranny swap an ICE car would need and the demand will drive technology and scientific research forward.

On February 19, Volvo Trucks delivered the first electric truck to customers in Sweden in its pilot program for selected customers, which will be expanded to other European markets in the second half of 2019.
