The last five years have been the hottest in all of recorded human history. Moreover, there is no denying that this is a result of climate change and is expected to get worse over time. This is a time when new energy solutions are the only solution. Here are five renewable energy companies attempting some innovative solutions and worth keeping an eye on.

As the name suggests, this company has developed an innovative turbine design that is powered by wind-driven flying kites. This system is suited to onshore and offshore implementation and is simple, cost effective, and easy to set-up.

The company has developed a promising new wind turbine design that is a surprisingly small cube that is capable of spinning in winds as low as 1-2 mph and deliver 1000 times more energy than comparable solar panels.

Imagine collecting energy from the roads as vehicles drive over it. That is exactly what Constructis’ Roadway Energy X (REX) platform is designed to do and claims to harvest 1,100 watts per car when implemented at a large scale.

This energy startup focusses on storage and its breakthrough product seeks to replace Li-ion storage with water-based system that is claimed to be cleaner, safer, and more cost effective, while also being 10 times more efficient.

While new innovations in energy storage and generation are common, HST Solar is using AI to design utility-scale solar farms that make solar panel implementation easier, cheaper and more efficient by up to 20%.
