Cyprus-based Ratherhon has developed a smart zero export control device that prevents PV export losses from being exported by limiting generation to self-consumption. Certification will be expected soon. September 26, 2025 Lior Kahana The Cyprus-based renewable energy company Righthon has developed a smart zero export control device that prevents PV export losses from being exported by limitation and at the same time protect system owners against wasted generation. Dublynchronized Elpida, the product is expected to secure the certification in the coming months. “The Elpida devices have been developed to reduce the energy losses of houses and companies from wrinkled limitation…

The Namibian government has given an approval of the environment for a 3 GW solar farm. The energy generated is set to be used for green hydrogen and green ammonia production. September 26, 2025 Patrick Jowett NamibiaThe Ministry of the Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) has granted an environmental statement (ECC) for a 3 GW solar project.

Breakthrough of solar fuel can unlock cheaper green energy Researchers from Lund University have taken an important step in the direction of solving one of the greatest obstacles in the development of efficient sunscreen. Their work shows how cheap iron-based systems can be used more effectively to store solar energy as fuel, which makes the road clear for cheaper and more sustainable alternatives for fossil fuels. Producing fuels such as green hydrogen requires catalysts that can capture solar energy and transfer electrical loads to acceptorolecules. Iron, an abundant and environmentally friendly metal, has long been considered a promising candidate. Nevertheless,…

Japanese researchers have developed a green rust -based catalyst for sodium borohydride, while South Korean scientists have created a framework to assess liquid hydrogen storage tanks for unmanned aircraft (UAV). September 26, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Japanese researchers Have a cheap catalyst created from “green rust” that releases hydrogen efficiently from sodium borohydride. “We report that a mixed Valent [FeII–FeIII] Iron hydroxide, which we call green rust (gr), treated with a CUCL2 solution, shows a good solesis-light-assisted catalytic activity in the direction of SBH hydrolysis in room temperature that is higher than that of existing catalysts, including pt-nanoparties-modified titanxide, “” The…

The British Ministry of Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) announced the latest sites to install Solar PV on the roof using financing from state -owned Great British Energy Great British Energy.In March, The first major project of GB Energy was revealed: £ 200 million committing PV installations on solar energy in schools and hospitals. Since then, 11 primary schools have installed Solar PV on their roofs. In the summer, the first five NHS sites from GB-Energie-Striden Solar Installations benefited.The NHS installations had a combined project costs of £ 704.332 and have a total installed capacity of 474 kW. The…

UK head office developer Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has concluded a contract to provide activities and maintenance services (R&M) at the UK’s Cleve Hill Solar Project.For the next three years, RES O&M will offer services, including optimizing asset performance, efficiency and availability. The project is the largest solar facility of the UK, After reaching commercial operation in July this yearAnd there is currently work to add a 150 MW Co-location Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to the project, so Cleve Hill would make the largest Zonneplus-Plus storage project in the country.”Cleve Hill shows what is feasible when the ambition is…
