Sunflower Sustainable InvestmentsBellisimo! Sunflower already produces some 24 MW of solar energy in Italy and Spain. 

Israel-based Sunflower Sustainable Investments is continuing to find sunny prospects in Italy for its solar activity, announcing the purchase of another solar energy farm last week. This comes on the heels of the financial investment house’s acquisition of three Italian solar farms at the end of 2010.

Sunflower’s latest agreement is for a 2 MW solar park at a cost of about €5 million. Taking advantage of supportive Italian legislation for solar-generated electricity, Sunflower signed deals in 2010 to build solar farms with a total generation capacity of 12-15 MW. Sunflower, based in Ramat Gan, is a public company, traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

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

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.
