Terasol energy recently completed a Solar + storage project for Team Toyota van Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. The installation has an 820 kWh Fort Power Espire Commercial Energy Storage System combined with a 700-KW solar array. The new system helps Toyota to save more than $ 2 million in energy costs over the next 25 years, while the reliability and efficiency of its energy consumption is strengthened. “This project is a perfect example of what can be achieved when three companies come to Philadelphia team Toyota, Terasol Energies and Fortress Power compensation with a shared vision of clean, reliable energy,” said…
Researchers have tested a 9 x 11 floating box barrage for offshore photovoltaic in a large gulf stream, under regular and irregular golf seals. They have placed wireless gyroscopes on three of the boxes that represent the front, middle and back positions. October 7, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team from China has developed a new floating box array for offshore floating PV (FPV). A large, irregular, random gulf stream was used to measure increases and severe gears, along with the Responsamplitude Operator (RAO) for heavy and pitch. A floating box, in this research context, is a floating structural unit…
Rivington Energy, the parent company of UK Developer Renewable Connections, has obtained a 139 MW Co-located solar and BESS portfolio from operator grip reserve.The acquisition includes two ready-to-build (RTB) assets and a pre-RTB project, all of which are equipped with solar PV that are laid together with battery energy storage systems (BESS).The first location to be built is a 54 MW Zonne energy center, together with a 72 MWH Bess, in Scunthorpe, which will enter the construction in October of this year. Energy is expected in September 2026.Rivington Energy said that the other two projects are a 44 MW site…
Research from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has discovered that zinc-phosphate-hydrate (ZPH) films are able to produce electricity from the light. The photovoltage of the coating was reinforced when Anthocyanine, a natural dye in blackberries, was added. October 7, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research team from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has discovered that zinc phosphatydrate (ZPH) films on metal create a photovoltaic effect. Their work is presented in the research paper ‘Manufacture and study of H2O-Recruited zinc phosphate films that are linked with organic dye and their photo detection characteristics”Available in the magazine Applied Physics Letters. The researchers wanted to…
Organic radical breakthrough can cause a revolution in the efficiency of solar energy In a historical discovery, researchers from the University of Cambridge have identified a new way for organic molecules to harvest and generate electricity – possibly define the materials used in the next generation of sun technology. The study shows that a specially designed organic semiconductor, known as P3TTM, can replicate a physical phenomenon that was previously only observed in inorganic metal oxides. This finding unites principles of both organic chemistry and condensed matter and offers a simpler, lighter and more affordable route to solar energy generation. P3TTM…
SMA -Zonnet technology will reduce 350 positions worldwide as part of an extensive restructuring program to save costs and to regain competitiveness. October 6, 2025 Jochen Siemer By PV Magazine Germany SMA Solar Technology said it will reduce its workforce by 2026 with 300 positions in Germany and 50 abroad. The German inverter maker plans to expand his restructuring and transformation program, which started in September 2024 with annual savings of € 150 million ($ 175.14 million) to € 200 million. The company gave a “persistently weak” market to blame and the intense price pressure in the residential and commercial…
The Chinese manufacturer of the storage system said that his 12.8 V product was designed for RV travelers, off-grid homeowners and marine users. It is said that it offers more than 6,000 cycles at 90% depth. October 6, 2025 Lior Kahana The Sentorise 12.8V 100AH Group 31 Lifepo₄ Image: Sentorise By ESS News According to a business declaration, the Chinese storage manufacturer Sentorise has launched a new 12.8V 100Ah battery for off-grid applications. The Sentorise 12.8V 100AH Group 31 Lifepo₄ Battery uses Automotive-Grade A+ Lithium iron phosphate (Lifepo₄) cells. “Designed for RV travelers, off-grid homeowners, marine users and do-it-yourself energy…
The US Department of Energy has canceled $ 7.56 billion in financial prices for 223 energy projects in 16 historically by democratic guided states, with reference to insufficient documentation and failing economic and safety standards. October 6, 2025 Ryan Kennedy From PV Magazine USA The Ministry of Energie (DIY) announced the termination of 321 financial prices to support 223 energy projects, which resulted in “savings of around $ 7.56 billion dollars for US taxpayers,” the agency said in a press release. The terminated funds were issued on offices of demonstrations of clean energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy, grid implementation,…
On October 6, the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), Lawyers for Good Government and others has brought a lawsuit At the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island on behalf of the beneficiaries of the Solar For All program to restore the program that the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wanted to end in July. The claimants include the RHODE Island AFT CIO, an organization of trade unions that represents more than 80,000 people, solar energy companies, non-profit organizations and an individual homeowner who had registered for participation in the Georgia Bright-Zonnus launched last July. The Solar…
The Space Company Astrobotic, based in Pittsburgh and the North American subsidiary of Honda, are working on the integration of the vertical solar American technology of Astrobotic with the regenerative fuel cell system of Honda to develop a power and storage solution that is able to support long-term exploration. October 6, 2025 Patrick Jowett American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Astrobotic Technology, Inc. have concluded a joint development agreement to develop an integrated power solution for lunar surface missions. The two companies will carry out a joint feasibility study that investigates how astrobotic’s vertical solar -Array technology (VSAT) and Lunagrid…
