Researchers from Cornell University in the US have developed a new optimization model for the design and benefits of the Agrivoltaic site, which was demonstrated using irrigation optimization compared to economic and environmental goals. April 4, 2025 Valerie Thompson Aware of the potential of co-locks of food crops with solar panels and the potential for conflicting objectives of the selection and design of the Agrivoltaic sites, researchers from Cornell University in the United States have developed a new optimization model. To demonstrate the technology, they have applied it to the solar energy plants of Cornell University and the nearby agricultural…
The Chinese Jeseng Group has started building 5 GW Zonne -Zon in three projects in a coal mine zone zone in North China, with an investment of $ 2.3 billion. The projects, reinforced by 2 GW thermal ability and 3.4 GWh of energy storage, will supply 9.3 TWH of clean electricity per year. April 4, 2025 Vincent Shaw Jinneng Group, one of the largest energy companies in the Shanxi province, broke grounds on three large-scale photovoltaic projects with a combined installed capacity of 5 GW in the coal-mining areas of Datong, Noord-Shanxi. The total investment for the projects is estimated…
Imagine if every surface around you silently powering our world. The paint on your house, the coating on your car, and even the finish on your fence – all working to generate clean electricity. This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie. It’s the revolutionary potential of solar paint technology. Traditional solar energy has already changed how we think about power generation. But solar paint takes this concept further by transforming ordinary surfaces into energy-producing assets. It’s an innovation that could reshape our approach to sustainable energy from the ground up. The implications stretch far beyond residential use. Office buildings…
A 3D Render from the Wity Place Bess. Image: Root-Power. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer Root-Power has received a building permit for a new BES of 50 MW/100MWH in Reading. The Wity Place Bess is located in Silchester. It was chosen because it was ideally placed close to Bramley station, which is less than 500 meters away from the site and was recently strengthened as part of a long-term development strategy for the local network. The project is located on Green Belt-Land and Root-Power states that it has worked to ensure that the development visually maintains the surrounding agricultural…
The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has criticized the decision of Borussia Dortmund to install 11,000 yes sun panels on its stadium roof, with reference to the exclusion of the supplier of the American market for compulsory ties with forced labor. April 4, 2025 Ralph Diermann By PV Magazine Germany Borussia Dortmund (bvb) recently announced plans to equip the roof of his stadium, Signal Iduna Park, with the world’s largest photovoltaic system. The club works together with RWE and the Chinese manufacturer Ja Solar, which delivers 11,000 completely black modules. The announcement has criticized Carsten Rohr, co-chairman of the ESMC…
The call for applications for the electricity storage and the related infrastructure program, aimed at improving the stability of the Polish power network, remains open until 30 May 2025. April 4, 2025 Mariha Maisch Van Ess News The Polish National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOśigw) opened a call for applications for co-financing of energy storage facilities on 4 April. The long -awaited subsidy scheme is intended to improve the stability of the National Power Grid and the energy breach of the country. More than PLN 4 billion ($ 1 billion) provided by the Modernization Fund of the…
In December 2024, the US Department of Trade (DOC) revised antidumping and compensatory tasks (AD/CVDs) on Vietnamese and Malaysian solar products. April 4, 2025 Corrine Lin From PV Magazine 3/25 The imposition of AD/CVDs by the United States on solar modules from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia has fallen sharply from those countries. With the American developers who are currently dependent on import, countries outside those areas should benefit, although Malaysia could become more prominent because the tasks have been revised. US Dun-Film PV manufacturer First Solar has been set to explain 20% of the home market. Imported cells were…
By Brad Kramer April 2, 2025 Affordable Wire Management (AWM) has developed various new Bonsai module cable hangers for Array Technologies. AWM’s Bonsai Hangers-the industrial-prefered solutions for solar cord cables specially designed for Array’s Duratrack and Omnitrack Tracker systems and 400 mm Thru-Bolt-Klem. These adjusted Bonsai hangers route sign cables under the coupling tube to reduce shade and lead around bearings, while the risk of damage caused by environmental factors or system maintenance is minimized. As with AWM’s other product lines, Bonsai is manufactured with durable metal alloys, with optimum corrosion resistance, unparalleled strength and a lifespan of more than…
The European Union has launched a call of € 600 million ($ 662.6 million) for proposals to finance cross-border energy infrastructure projects that will connect or influence the energy systems of two or more Member States.
