The American electric contractor Rossendin is planning to demonstrate the installation of robot-like solar module at a large-scale solar energy project under construction in Texas. April 9, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA Rosendin, an electric contract company, announced that its Renewable Energy Group (Reg) will demonstrate its new autonomous robot solution for solar module installation on April 17 in West -Texas. The three -part robot system is said to be able to install solar modules three times faster than its human counterparts, while it also improves the safety of employees and tackling the persistent industry. The labor shortage…

Researchers in Italy have conceived new Agrivoltaic modeling for Agrivoltaics that comprises crop yield curves for several crops. As soon as the electricity production from the PV modules has also been assessed, the performance statistics for the Agrivoltaic system as a whole are obtained. April 9, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Milan and Italian Consultancy Vector Renewables has developed an extensive simulation framework for optimizing agrivoltaic systems in open-field configurations. This integrated approach makes the simultaneous analysis of the crucial design parameters possible, which influence both the crop and energy performance, in contrast…

The South Korean heating specialist said that his new heat pump system can achieve a seasonal performance coefficient of a maximum of 4.79 and power temperatures of a maximum of 75 ° C. April 8, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The PEM759 Heat pump Image: Navien Navien, heating solutions established in South Korea, has released a new air source heat pump for residential applications. “The new Navien PEM750 is full of smart technology that lowers the impact on the environment and at the same time drives up heat and comfort,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “It is also packed with functions…

Vanadium Redox Flow Energy Storage Manufacturer Prolux Solutions said that 50 L Vanadium electrolyte leaked from a residential unit in Arbon, but no fire occurred. April 9, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By ESS News The police in the Swiss canton Thurgau On Sunday, a “fire and chemical rescue operation in an apartment building” reported in Arbon, involving a vanadium leak. The police were warned shortly after 7.30 am because of smoke in the basement of the building. The police showed the first investigation: “About 500 L Vanadium (electric liquid) leaked from the photovoltaic system in the basement.” The police refused to…

By SB staff April 8, 2025 Omco Solar celebrates project 100 with industrial partners Coldwell Solar and Sunstall. This announcement comes together after completing 100 solar energy projects for both fixed tilt and tracker projects.

The completed projects include a series of applications, which shows the versatility and reliability of the Omco Solar Montaining and Tracker solutions factory settings. “This milestone of 100 projects means a powerful synergy between Sunstall, Omco and Coldwell Solar,” said Helge Biernath, President and CEO of SunstallThat…

Castillo Engineering And Northern energy (NSE) have received three new community projects in Kinderhook, Wilton and East Greenbush, New York. Awarded by developer SeaboardThese projects a total of 31.49 MWDC and will generate local renewable electricity for thousands of houses. Credit: Castillo Engineering This portfolio of projects follows the successful commissioning of the 5-MW Troy project, which Castillo Engineering and NSE together are completed from the first design to the latest connections. “New York continues to be at the forefront of community solar, and we are proud to contribute to that growth with Northern Sun Energy and Seaboard Solar,” said…

Artisun Solar Recently completed two solar projects for Steel & Pipe Supply Co. In Catoosa, Oklahoma. The two projects on the roof consist of a 1.25-MW system on Fort Gibson Road and a system of 950 kW on Bird Creek Avenue. “This project is an important step forward for renewable energy in Oklahoma,” said Kirk Kreisel, CEO of Artisun Solar. “Working with a progressive company such as Steel & Pipe Supply is an honor. Together we demonstrate the economic and operational benefits of solar energy while freeing the way for future developments in this region.” “This project is proof of…

Lithuania added a record capacity in 2024 and pushed cumulative installations to almost 2 GW, largely powered by residential systems and a favorable regulatory framework. April 9, 2025 Patrick Jowett Lithuania added 870 MW Solar in 2024, established a new calendar year record and surpassed the 572 MW installed in 2022 and 536 MW in 2023. The additions raised the total solar capacity of Lithuania to more than 1.97 GW, including almost 1.4 GW residential solar sun and 583 MW capacity on utility scale. Juras Ulbikas, research director at the Vilnius -based Applied Research Institute for Prospective Technologies, and Vitas…

Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee (Fraunhofer Isee) has shown that the current UV test methods overestim the demolition in tunnel oxide -passivated contact (topcon) solar modules, because dark storage after UV exposure is temporary efficient losses. April 9, 2025 Ralph Diermann By PV Magazine Germany In 2024, researchers from Fraunhofer Isee analyzed the stability of Topcon, Passivated Emitter and Achter Cell (PERC) and heterojunction solar cells under UV -existing radiation and discovered that all three cell technologies can suffer considerable losses in implicit tension and efficiency. Practical experience has confirmed this finding. With that in mind, other Fraunhofer…

Fincantieri says that the world’s first hydrogen-driven cruise ship is building for delivery at the end of 2026, while Coca-Cola Bottelaars Japan says it will debut the first hydrogen machine in the world at the Kansai Expo this year. April 9, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Fintieri Said that the world’s first hydrogen -driven cruise ship is building, the ‘Viking Libra’, which will be able to generate electricity and propulsion on board with the help of hydrogen stored on board. The ship, under construction on the Fincantieri Ancona Shipyard, is planned for delivery at the end of 2026 and can accommodate up…
