Aurora Solar

Astronomers have picked up radio waves from an exoplanet for the first time, a signal that could indicate auroras similar to those seen on Earth and the solar system's giant planets. The detection opens a new way to study magnetic fields and atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars, and scientists say future observations could reveal more about potentially habitable worlds far beyond our solar system.

Aurora Solar has introduced the Aurora Solar Trust Signal, described as the first quarterly tracker of homeowner trust in the solar industry. The tool aims to measure how much homeowners trust solar companies and installers, giving the industry recurring data on consumer confidence. The announcement is drawing attention within the solar and clean energy sector as a new benchmark for consumer sentiment.

TrinaTracker has launched two robots, Buildex and Aurora, designed to automate construction and operations-and-maintenance work at solar photovoltaic plants. The company says the machines will speed up installation and upkeep of tracker-based PV projects. The launch highlights the growing push toward automation in the solar industry, as developers seek to cut labor costs and improve efficiency at large-scale renewable energy sites.
