Design of a Hydroelectronic Solar‐Tracking System for Solar Panels

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 2600-2625, May 2026.
A prototype of a passive solar‐tracking system utilizing buoyant force based on water level was developed, and its MATLAB/Simulink model was implemented. This study is expected to encourage researchers to design solar‐tracking mechanisms using metals with different thermal expansion coefficients, air, oil, and other fluids. ABSTRACT This study presents

Impact of Climate Change on Cost and Cost Efficiency of Solar Irrigation in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Irrigation is widely recognized as a promising strategy for enhancing agricultural productivity in Sub‐Saharan Africa. To support its expansion, solar‐powered irrigation systems are increasingly promoted as a sustainable alternative. However, unlike fossil fuel‐based systems, the performance of solar irrigation is more sensitive to climate ...

Site Selection of Onshore Wind and Solar Farms With Hydrogen Energy Storage: A Review

open access: yesEnergy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Onshore wind farms (OWF) and onshore solar farms (OSF) are essential to the global transition to renewable energy. Their complementary generation patterns enhance power supply stability and improve grid reliability. Co‐located projects can optimize land use and share infrastructure, reducing costs while increasing efficiency.
