A representation of the new fully electric community. IPSUN SOLAR, A sun company based on the community for Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland, announced a new partnership with urban developer Eya. Through the partnership, IPSUN House buyers will offer the option for installations on the roof for solar panel for EYA’s New Townhomes in Reservoir District, a sustainability -oriented, fully electric community currently under development in Washington, DC Through this partnership, home buyers can choose to seamlessly add a complete solar system during the design phase of their city house purchase. IPSUN SOLAR installs between 8 and 14 highly efficient…
This week, women in Solar Europe (Wisu) give voice to María del Puy Ayerra, head of business development Iberia in Spain’s Zelestra. She experienced isolated experiences that reflect subtle gender proposal-in particular the assumption that women in leadership must adopt a “tough” character to survive in a men-dominated environment. “These stereotypes can be restrictive and discouraging, especially for women who lead with empathy, cooperation and strength of vision,” she says. April 18, 2025 Women in Solar Europe (Wisu) The industry of renewable energy – tension solar energy, energy storage, EV -charging and grid infrastructure – is fed by constant innovation.…
Inequality, the government insisted in access to green technology A new report from the University of Sheffield, produced in collaboration with the universities of Nottingham and Macedonia, calls on the British government to expand its approach for promoting low-carbon technologies (LCTs) such as electric vehicles and solar panels. The study emphasizes that subsidies are only insufficient and warns that without targeted action socio-economic differences in access to LCTs, the legally binding 2050 net goals of the country can undermine. Although the acceptance of LCTs has grown in recent years, with household solar electricity systems that rise from 3 to 6.5…
Scientists have tested the performance of floating PV panels at an altitude of 800 mm and 250 mm above their floating structures. Their thermal and electrical performance was compared to those of a reference country system and the highest panel proved to show the largest cooling effect. April 18, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Curtin University of Malaysia have compared the thermal behavior of floating PV (FPV) with different heights, which also benchmarking against a land system. “We analyze it in a real environment,” said the corresponding author Ramanan CJ PV -Magazine. “This study in experimental the results of our…
South Korean researchers have manufactured a copper Indium Gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cell with a 90 μm thick UTG supplied by the unique technological integral technology. The device uses a cadmium -free buffer layer made from zinc oxide and magnesium oxide, instead of cadmium sulfide. April 18, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from the Korea Institute of Energy Research (Kier) have developed a CIGS solar cell with ultra-thin glass (UTG), an rising substrate that is known for its exceptional flexibility and stability. “We have achieved an impressive efficiency of a record device of more than 17% for cadmium -free flexible solar cells…
Solar incentives in North Carolina have changed throughout the years, but there are still plenty of credits for homeowners and businesses looking to invest in solar. While one of the most notable incentives is the federal solar investment tax credit, you can benefit from a variety of residential and commercial NC solar credits. North Carolina also offers state-based incentives to make solar a worthwhile investment for residential and commercial property owners, including the federal tax credit, net metering and property tax exemptions. Learn more about the NC solar tax credits and incentives designed to help offset the costs of a…
DSD -Refinable energy sources has concluded a master contract with a school project for the reduction of utility percentage (Spurr), a purchasing group for utility companies that represents public agencies such as schools, as the chosen developer partner for the renewable energy aggregated purchasing (REAP). Under this partnership, DSD will offer solutions for solar and energy storage to public school districts in California, provincial offices of education, community college districts and other public authorities based on the prices and contract conditions of Spurr. The REAP program helps eligible organizations to streamline their acceptance of solar and energy storage systems through…
Almost every state has already taken some action on its net measurement policy in the first three months of 2025, according to a report published by the NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC). Q1 2025 Policy promotion on net measurement, rate design and solar ownership. NC Clean Energy Technology Center The NCCETC has issued its Q1 2025 edition of “The 50 States of Solar Energy”A quarterly report that provides insights into the regulatory and legislative discussions and actions of the state and actions about distributed sun policy. It focuses on net measurement, distributed solar valuation, interconnection rules, community sun, residential…
From PV Magazine 4/25 President Donald Trump did not waste time to impose import tariffs, one of his most important campaign blows. In his first few weeks in office, the president renewed the rates of section 232 for Staal and Aluminium, under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Trump also used 1977’s International Emergency Powers Act (IEPA) to impose a new rate of 20% from China, plus 25% rates. Albeit. Albeit. Clean Energy Associates (CEA) do not expect the rates to have a significant impact on the solar or battery industry. However, behind the taxes, more powerful trade threats lurked.…
The result was confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy. April 18, 2025 Emiliano Bellini and Vincent Shaw The Chinese solar module manufacturer Longi has revealed that it has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 34.85% for a two-terminal tandem perovskiet solar cell. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy certified the result, which represents a world record for this cell typology. The previous record was held by Longi itself, which achieved efficiency of 34.6% for a device with the same configuration in September, when the manufacturer published…
