Solarpunk started as an art style that imagined humans living in urban paradises chock-full of nature and running on clean energy technology. Now, it's an environmental movement that asks, "how do we make that happen?"

Combat your climate anxiety with eco home swaps and radical optimism. Here are some ideas inspired by the solarpunk movement: home edition.

No rent. The open road. Waking up with a new, great view everyday. If #VanLife has been calling, we need to talk about solar panels for your van.

Solar can seem confusing. So many wires and jargon-y terms and lots of potential costs… But the actual installation of a solar panel is actually pretty straightforward! Let's break it down.

What’s up with wind energy? What are the pros and cons of wind energy? Is it worth looking into?

Solar pergolas: the outdoor design feature offering the ideal mix of energy savings and beautiful design. Not only are they a gorgeous design element, as they become increasingly popular for homeowners looking for solar options, they’re also becoming more affordable.

Early this year, the moment we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived. The $370 billion dollar Inflation Bill was signed into law by President Biden after months of hard work. So, we thought we’d do a brief overview of the Inflation Reduction Act - also known as the most significant climate bill in US History. This piece of legislation is proposed to reduce US emissions 40% below 2055 levels by the end of 2030. Initially, the bill was set to be much more radical in its climate legislation,

Did humans just achieve a solar milestone? Humans have officially installed enough solar panels to generate 1 terawatt of electricity. 🤯 Now, you might be wondering, “tera-what?” Dad jokes aside, a terawatt is one trillion watts, and the term is often used to describe reaaally big amounts of energy. For example, the entire energy consumption of all humans is roughly 17.7 terawatts. According to predictions, dozens of terawatts of solar capacity will be needed to decarbonize the earth’s elec

How could sheep and solar panels be related? Well they are, and in more ways than you’d think! There has been exciting development for the relationship between agriculture and solar energy. In recent years, farmers have begun leasing their land to solar developers, finding their relationships to be very beneficial. The livestock, such as goats and sheep, keep the weeds low for the solar panels. The panels provide shade and help keep the soil beneath them from drying out. Two farmers from NSW

Target’s tagline “Expect more. Pay Less.” has taken on an entirely new meaning with one of its location’s newest changes – a Target in California has succeeded at becoming fully solar. 🎉 Target just unveiled its first net-zero energy store: it is located in Vista, California with 1800 carport solar panels and 1,620 rooftop panels. They also installed more than 1300 LED lights, which will cut about 10% of Target’s total energy bill. At Wildgrid we are very excited to see this type of implement

Access to clean drinking water is a significant problem for the developing world, and solar power might just be the solution. Today’s solar news could be game changing for those without clean water. A French company, HelioWater, has created a device that takes sea water and turns it into clean drinking water using the power of the sun ☀️. This method uses evaporation, condensation, and mineralization to filter the water. HelioWater’s device is powered by a large solar panel at the base, making
