Solar kits or how to use the balcony to lower the electricity bill

Jornal de Negócios13 September 2026 at 14:00

Solar kits allow consumers to install small self-consumption stations on balconies or terraces to reduce their electricity bill. Production is limited, but anyone can carry out the installation on a "do it yourself" basis, using only basic tools like a screwdriver. This solution takes advantage of the available sunlight in outdoor spaces like balconies and terraces to generate electrical energy for personal consumption.

Why this matters

Readers can directly benefit from this information by learning how to reduce their household energy costs in an accessible way without depending on professionals. This trend arises from the growing interest in renewable energies and energy independence at the domestic level.

Finland, the "Texas of Europe" for data centers

Finland is becoming a privileged destination for large data centers, earning the nickname "Texas of Europe". The Nordic country attracts tech giants thanks to its cold temperatures, which reduce cooling costs, the abundance of space and the available clean energy. Google announced an investment of 13 billion euros in the country, consolidating Finland as a strategic hub for digital infrastructure in Europe.

AI Leaders Admit to Slowing Down More Advanced Models

Leaders of the largest artificial intelligence companies admit the need to slow down the development of the most advanced models given the growing security risks. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, proposed external evaluations with access similar to that of internal teams, a measure supported by Sam Altman and Elon Musk, clarifying that the proposal does not imply suspending model training, but creating time to test and protect the technology. Demis Hassabis, from Google DeepMind, considered the guidance correct, although he argues that the details still need to be defined. Any eventual coordination faces competitive and geopolitical obstacles, given that American companies compete for customers and market share among themselves and with Chinese groups, and it remains uncertain whether competition authorities would accept a coordinated slowdown.

The Clucky app was created for people who have difficulty waking up in the morning, offering an alternative to traditional alarm clocks that are often turned off and lead to going back to sleep. The app works through challenges and missions that the user needs to complete before being able to silence the morning alarm, thus encouraging a more active and conscious wake-up routine.

How Does Wi-Fi Go Through Walls? And Why Do Some Walls Destroy It?

Wi-Fi doesn't go through walls without consequences: the signal loses energy, is absorbed, reflected and deflected by the materials it encounters. Materials like concrete, brick, metal and even water absorb or block most of the signal, while plaster, wood and glass let it pass with less loss. The signal frequency also influences things: higher frequencies (like 5 GHz) offer more speed but attenuate more quickly through obstacles, while lower frequencies (2.4 GHz) penetrate better but with less bandwidth.
