When selecting solar lights for your deck, the first thing to consider is the type of lighting effect you wish to create. Solar lights are available in a variety of styles, from basic solar pathway lamps to decorative solar post cap lights and solar fairy string lamps that provide a warm atmosphere. If you need more functional lighting, you might prefer brighter options like LED solar flood lamp or spotlights that can light up larger areas.

 

Next, consider where you will place the lights. Since solar lights need direct sunlight to charge, ensure that the locations you choose receive plenty of sunlight during the day. For spots with limited sunlight, look for solar lights equipped with high-efficiency panels or those with longer battery life. Additionally, think about whether you want the lights mounted on walls, deck posts, or integrated into the deck itself. The flexibility of solar lights allows you to arrange them according to your design preferences.

 

 

Durability and weather resistance are also key factors to keep in mind. Deck are subject to outdoor elements like rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations, so it’s important to select solar lights that are waterproof and designed to endure various weather conditions. Look for lights with an IP65 rating or higher to ensure reliable performance in rainy or snowy weather. Materials like stainless steel, ABS, or rust-resistant coatings will also enhance the longevity of the lights.

 

To create a visually appealing and functional deck, it’s important to balance aesthetics with practicality. Choosing the right style and brightness will result in a beautifully lit space that enhances your outdoor environment. Whether you desire soft lighting for a cozy atmosphere or bright lights to illuminate the entire deck, solar lights provide an energy-efficient, eco-friendly option that is easy to install and maintain.

The UK government’s latest Clean Electricity Action Plan 2030 outlines significant growth in renewable energy capacity by 2030, with a focus on offshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power. The plan sets a target of 45-47GW for solar PV capacity in 2030, emphasizing the potential to exceed the 47GW cap.

 

 

 

As of the second quarter of 2024, the UK’s cumulative solar PV capacity stood at 16.6GW, with an additional 23.8GW of projects under construction or signed. Solar Energy UK believes the 45GW target is conservative and that solar PV has the potential to significantly surpass this level.

 

The plan includes promoting solar installations on warehouses, industrial sites, and outdoor parking lots, with a survey on PV canopies for parking lots set to begin in 2025. Additionally, solar technology is included in policies such as the Warm Homes Local Grant and Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, and its application will be further expanded in future versions of the plan.

 

 

Wind power is also a core component of the plan, aiming for a cumulative installed capacity of 43-50GW by 2030, with onshore wind contributing 27-29GW.

 

Flexible power regulation is also part of the plan, with installations of 23-27GW of battery storage and 4-6GW of long-duration storage planned, along with the development of flexible technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen energy. Furthermore, around 35GW of natural gas storage capacity will ensure secure electricity supply.

 

 

Against the backdrop of global energy transformation, the photovoltaic industry has taken off, and the scale of global photovoltaic installed capacity continues to grow. TrendForce predicts that global photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 596GW in 2025, up 6.0% year-on-year, and the growth rate will slow down significantly. The share of the three major mainstream incremental markets in China, Europe and the United States will decline, and emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will perform well, injecting new impetus into the growth of global photovoltaic installed capacity.

 

 

Global new installed capacity to reach 596GW in 2025

 

According to TrendForce data, global photovoltaic installed capacity has grown rapidly from 113GW in 2019 to 462GW in 2023, with an average annual compound growth rate of 42.3%. After experiencing high growth in the first five years, it is expected that the growth rate of global photovoltaic installed capacity will drop sharply from 2025 and enter the adjustment stage. In 2025, global photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 596GW, up 6.0% year-on-year.

 

In terms of market share, the Asia-Pacific market fell slightly to 61.1%, the Americas market grew to 15.6%, and the market share of Europe and the Middle East and Africa did not change much.

 

 

From the data of new photovoltaic installations in the four major regional markets in 2025, the Americas will lead slightly in growth, and the Asia-Pacific region will still lead in growth. In 2025, driven by the two major markets of the United States and Brazil, the Americas will maintain its leading growth rate; the emerging countries in the Middle East and Africa are still to be developed, and the growth rate has slowed down significantly; the Asia-Pacific region leads the global photovoltaic market in growth, but the growth rate of installed capacity has slowed down under the high base; Europe has steadily increased its growth under the overall goal of coal withdrawal and renewable energy.

 

1.The principle of hydrogen hybrid power system

 

The UAV hydrogen hybrid system usually uses hydrogen as the main energy source, combined with other energy sources (such as batteries), and converts the chemical energy of hydrogen into electrical or mechanical energy through chemical reactions to power the flight of the drone.

Hydrogen can undergo an electrochemical reaction in a fuel cell to produce electrical energy, which directly drives the motor to operate; It can also be burned to produce high-temperature and high-pressure gases to drive turbines or piston engines to work, and at the same time recover waste heat for other systems to improve energy efficiency.

The battery assists the system by providing additional power during start-up, acceleration, high loads, etc., or when the fuel cell output is insufficient, and can recover braking energy for storage.  

 

2.Classification of hydrogen hybrid power systems

 

(1) Hydrogen fuel cell-battery hybrid system

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is the main power generation device, which has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, zero emission and low noise. Batteries (e.g. lithium batteries) are used as auxiliary power sources, and the two are connected to the drone's electric drive system via a power converter.

 

During flight, the fuel cell provides a stable base power, and the lithium battery provides additional power when the instantaneous power demand is high, and the energy is recovered and stored under low fuel cell efficiency conditions (such as low loads), optimizing the efficiency and performance of the entire system.  

At present, most of the hydrogen hybrid drones use hydrogen fuel cell-battery hybrid systems.

 

(2) Hydrogen internal combustion engine-battery hybrid system

The hydrogen internal combustion engine is used as the power source, and the power generated by the combustion of hydrogen in the cylinder is used to drive the drone to fly. Hydrogen internal combustion engines have the characteristics of mature technology and high power density, but their emission and thermal efficiency are lower than those of hydrogen fuel cells.

 

In this system, the battery is mainly used to improve the starting performance of the internal combustion engine, achieve fast power adjustment and recover braking energy, reduce energy waste, and reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of the hydrogen internal combustion engine under some working conditions, and improve the overall economy and environmental protection.

 

Because the hydrogen internal combustion engine-battery hybrid system needs to burn hydrogen in the cylinder to generate power, it is generally used in relatively large aircraft.

 

China's first self-developed general aviation aircraft powered by hydrogen internal combustion engine is equipped with a 2.0L zero-emission supercharged direct injection hydrogen internal combustion engine, using high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, hydrogen storage weight of 4.5kg, hydrogen internal combustion engine maximum thermal efficiency of more than 43%, comprehensive thermal efficiency of more than 40%.

 

(3)Hydrogen fuel cell-solar-battery hybrid system

In addition to fuel cells and batteries, solar panels have also been introduced.

Solar panels convert solar energy into electricity during the day when there is enough light to replenish the drone's flight, or to recharge the battery.

The fuel cell is the main continuous energy supply device, and the battery plays a role in balancing power, storing energy, and ensuring the operation of the drone at night or when the light is insufficient.

High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage refers to compressing hydrogen under high pressure conditions and storing the compressed high-density hydrogen in a high-pressure container, thereby achieving effective storage and on-demand release of hydrogen.

 

High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage technology is an efficient way to store and transport hydrogen. Its working principle is to compress hydrogen to a high-pressure state through a compressor so that it can be safely stored in a container. This process can be directly compressed at high pressure once, or a step-by-step compression strategy can be adopted, which can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

 

In the entire process of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, compressors occupy an important position. At present, compressors can be divided into diaphragm compressors and liquid-driven compressors.

 

Diaphragm compressors are a commonly used type in high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage. It uses the reciprocating motion of the diaphragm to compress the gas. During the hydrogen compression process, the compressor needs to have high power output and an efficient cooling system. High power ensures sufficient compression capacity, while the efficient cooling system is responsible for timely removing the large amount of heat generated during the compression process to prevent equipment overheating and changes in the properties of hydrogen. For the step-by-step compression strategy, although the initial pressure is low, precise control and monitoring systems are essential to ensure the stability and safety of the entire compression process.

 

A hydraulic-driven compressor is a compressor that uses hydraulic oil as a driving medium. Its main working principle is to provide hydraulic oil through a hydraulic pump to convert liquid pressure into mechanical energy, thereby driving the piston inside the compressor to reciprocate. This type of compressor is mainly divided into single-stage compression and two-stage compression, and its working process includes gas suction and compression and discharge.

 

Design and Manufacturing

Advanced compressor designs use high-performance materials and precision manufacturing processes to improve operating efficiency and reliability. These materials can withstand high pressure, high temperature and the unique chemical environment of hydrogen to ensure the long-term stable operation of the compressor. At the same time, the optimization of the cooling system is also one of the key factors in improving compressor performance.

 

Monitoring and Control Systems

During the compression and boosting process, a series of sensors and control systems are used to monitor key parameters such as pressure, temperature and flow in real time. These data not only provide operators with instant system status feedback, but also provide data support for optimizing the compression process and improving energy utilization efficiency. Through intelligent control algorithms, the system can automatically adjust the working state of the compressor to adapt to different hydrogen storage needs.

 

Hydrogen storage container design

As the final storage unit of hydrogen, the design of hydrogen storage containers must fully consider the safety, stability and durability under high-pressure environments. Containers are usually made of high-strength metal materials or composite materials, which have excellent pressure-bearing capacity and good sealing performance, and can effectively prevent hydrogen leakage.

In addition, hydrogen storage containers must also undergo rigorous pressure testing and safety assessments to ensure their safety and reliability under various working conditions. High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage equipment types High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage technology usually uses hydrogen storage tanks as containers. Hydrogen storage bottles are required in the preparation, transportation, storage at hydrogen refueling stations, and on-board of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage.

 

At present, hydrogen storage bottles can be divided into five types: I~V: Type I bottle (steel or aluminum alloy bottle, no fiber winding); Type II bottle (steel bottle, partially wrapped with fiber winding); Type III bottle (aluminum or aluminum alloy liner, wrapped with fiber); Type IV bottle (composite plastic liner, wrapped with fiber); Type V bottle (no liner fiber fully wrapped bottle)

 

Advantages of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage

1. Higher hydrogen storage density Although the mass volume density of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage is smaller than other hydrogen storage methods, it can increase the hydrogen density per unit volume by increasing the pressure, thereby improving the hydrogen storage efficiency.

2. Faster hydrogen charging and discharging speed High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage has a faster hydrogen charging and discharging speed, which means that it can quickly replenish hydrogen, which is very beneficial for the daily use of fuel cell vehicles.

3. Lower energy consumption Compared with liquid hydrogen storage, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage has lower energy consumption because it does not need to cool the hydrogen to an extremely low temperature, which reduces energy consumption and operating costs to a certain extent.

4. Wide temperature adaptability High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage can work at room temperature, and can even operate normally in a low-temperature environment of dozens of degrees below zero, which makes it stable in various climatic conditions.

5. Less affected by the working environment Compared with other hydrogen storage methods, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage is less affected by the working environment, which makes it more suitable for use in different application scenarios.

1. How Hydrogen Bikes Work

 

Based on ordinary bikes, hydrogen bikes have added hydrogen generators and hydrogen storage devices. The hydrogen generator is a fuel cell, which generates kinetic energy through the electrochemical reaction of the built-in hydrogen generator. The riding process does not produce any carbon emissions, only water and heat emissions. The speed change function is achieved through the rider's pedaling process.

 

2. Advantages of Hydrogen Bikes

 

(1) Longer battery life. The service life of the hydrogen bike fuel cell system is about 2,000 hours, which is twice that of lithium batteries. This means that consumers have a longer consumption cycle and more stable use of hydrogen bikes.

 

(2) Longer mileage. The generator of the hydrogen bike are not affected by the weather and can maintain a stable mileage. However, the best operating temperature of traditional electric motorcycles is around 25°. Too high or too low temperature will affect the charging and discharging of the battery, so the mileage in winter and summer differs by 10-20 kilometers.

 

(3) Stronger safety performance. Traditional electric motorcycles are more prone to accidents when charging. Hydrogen bikes are safer in comparison. The low-pressure solid-state hydrogen storage device inside absorbs heat when the hydrogen is released, and the speed is slow, so there will be no explosion.

 

(4) More intelligent. Hydrogen bikes have multiple Internet of Vehicles technologies, such as GPS positioning, Internet of Things communication, information collection and processing, etc. They can help realize functions such as intelligent perception, interaction, and big data services.

 

(5) Hydrogen bikes have the characteristic of zero emissions throughout their entire life cycle. The hydrogen generator can be recycled and reused after the end of its product life, and the material recovery rate can reach more than 80%. This is in line with the modern society's concept of environmentally friendly transportation and has formed a lower-carbon and more environmentally friendly circular economy.

 

Although hydrogen bikes are currently only used in shared vehicles, with the establishment of a standard system and the improvement of industry competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities, hydrogen bikes may replace traditional electric motorcycles in the future and steadily move into the hydrogen energy era.

Lighting is an necessary component of outdoor space design that improves the area’s appearance and usability. Outdoor solar powered light is a great way to illuminate patios, walks, gardens, and other outdoor spaces while saving money on energy and lessening the influence on the environment. To make sure optimum performance and aesthetics, there are a few important factors to take into account when integrating solar lighting into your design.
