As homeowners discover the numerous benefits of switching to solar, more homes are flaunting shiny panels on their roofs. It helps cut down on bill cost and help reduce your home’s carbon footprint. That said, installing a solar panel can be costly. For a 9.1 kilowatt (kW) residential system, the average cost of solar panels is slightly above USD$ 38,000.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
