sunedison-israelWhen it rains it pours, when it shines it blazes: the US solar energy company SunEdison has moved into Israel where it is setting up a subsidiary SunEdison Israel Ltd.

With the guaranteed and attractive feed-in tariffs offered in Israel, the company will build solar energy projects and make investments in the industry, according to the financial newspaper Globes. 

In Israel SunEdison plans on building small and mid-sized photovoltaic installations (PV)  for homes and businesses giving companies  sectors and it is reported that it will participate in tenders for the construction of solar power plants in the Negev. 

The company is also in talks with Bank Hapoalim which is considering investing in the subsidiary. 

Veolia, Interdan, Sunday Energy, Solarit Doral and Arava Power are  all players in the Israeli solar production market. Does this latest news mean there is a solar power gold rush starting the Middle East? Let’s hope so.

    Doctor-Led Direct Hair Transplant: What Surgeon Involvement Means for Outcomes

    0
    Hair restoration technology continues to evolve, but the surgeon behind the procedure remains the most important factor. Doctor-led hair transplants emphasize careful diagnosis, conservative donor management, natural hairline design, and long-term planning rather than simply maximizing graft counts. By treating donor hair as a limited resource and tailoring each procedure to the patient's future hair loss, experienced surgeons can reduce the need for corrective surgery while delivering more natural, sustainable results.

    Data centers in Space? Sophia Space and Apex plan on busing them in

    0
    Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.
