Solar systems with a combined capacity of 340 kW are engaged in three water supply and washbasin facilites in the West -Ukrainian city of Chortkiv, designed to offer residents a continuous water supply. September 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett Solar energy plants are installed in three water supply and waste water facilities in the city of Chortkiv, located in the Ternopiloblast of West -Ekraine. The factories have been developed through a project implemented by the international financial institution based in Helsinki Nefco-De Nordic Green Bank, which has been working with Chortkiv since 2018 to improve the energy efficiency of its public…

Solar Servicing, a full subsidiary of Forbright Bank, has completed the transaction to acquire the loan control of the financing platform Mosaic After it had submitted a bankruptcy of Chapter 11 in June. Through the transaction, the maintenance activities of Mosaic are the switch to Solar Servicing. The company intends to continue the loan activities of Mosaic as usual. “The deep bank of Forbright from Management Talent and the hard work of the new Mosaic team members enabled this complicated transaction to be carried out according to a high standard for all maintenance customers,” said John Delaney, executive chairman and…

A report from SolarPower Europe and Fraunhofer ISE believes that EU-made solar modules € 0.103 ($ 0.12)/W costs more than Chinese import, but targeted policy can close the gap and help the EU’s 30 GW annual production objective reach by 2030. September 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett Producing a solar module in Europe with EU-made solar cells costs around € 0.103 ($ 0.12)/W more than producing the same module in China, according to a new report. The The production of solar module to Europe again Report, by SolarPower Europe and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), says that the…

Hybrid project combines a 100 MW Linear Fresnel-Concentrated solar power (CSP) with a PV facility of 900 MW, which delivers 24-hour output and demonstrates large-scale storage integration. September 25, 2025 Vincent Shaw China Three Gorges Group has a 1 GW hybrid concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic complex in Hami, Xinjiang, connected to the grid in what is described as the world’s largest integrated facility of its kind. Before this performance, the world’s largest CSP-PV factory was the Noor Energy 1 project in the VAE, with a total capacity of 950 MW, of which 700 MW CSP and 250 MW…

New insights into Halogenide Perovskites could transform solar cell technology The worldwide electricity consumption is increasing rapidly and researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have made progress in the direction of the development of the next generation of solar cell materials. Their work uses computer simulations and machine learning to better understand Halogenide Perovskites, which are lightweight, flexible and very efficient, but susceptible to instability. According to the International Energy Agency, electricity will be good for more than half of the energy consumption in 25 years, an increase of 20 percent today. “To meet demand, there is a…

Mexican utilities Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) is looking for proposals for the Puerto Peñascia Secuencia III Solar Plant, which will also include 103 MW battery capacity. September 25, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Alexander Schimmeck, Unsplash By PV Magazine Mexico The CFE has launched a tender for the construction of Puerto Peñasco Sequence III photovoltaic power plant, in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The project will add up to 300 MW of alternating current PV generation, plus 103 MW (three hours) back -up battery storage systems. This project is part of the 2025-30 National Electric System expansion plan as a…

Both are co-location with a 49.5 MW/99MWH Bess.EDF’s optimization and trade agreements build on an existing partnership with CVC DIF.At the beginning of…

A report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) says that the transition to solar energy energy sources can help to lower energy costs and bring more resilience to the traditional fishing value chain of Mauritania. September 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett In addition to other forms of decentralized renewable energy (DRE), solar energy is well positioned to make the artisan fisherman sector of Mauritania more resilient and more economically viable, according to a report of the International Office for Renewable Energy (Irena). The fishing sector of Mauritania is an important pillar within the national economy, which represents 2.8% of GDP…

The Fenogy of Switzerland has launched a megawatt-hour scale SodiumionEnergie storage system at a commercial location near Bremen Airport in Northern Germany. With this project, the Swiss manufacturer makes his debut about the European energy storage scene, supported by ambitions to develop fully vertically integrated local production. September 25, 2025 Mariha Maisch By ESS News Coming from Stealth, the Fenogy of Switzerland revealed its first commercial scale on Wednesday on Wednesday-what marked the largest installation of sodium ion batteries so far in Europe. The system with one container, installed at a commercial location near Bremen Airport in Northern Germany, supplies…

UK Energy Regulator ofgem has revealed that his final decision for which of the 171 applicant projects will now continue to the project assessment period to receive financial support on 23 September.Just over 70% of the successful projects in the first window of the UK’s Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) schedule use Lithium-ion BESS technology.OFGEM has established that 77 projects met the criteria, some of which are planned for 2030 operations (track 1) and some for 2033 operation (track 2).The scheme offers a cap-and-flor income stabilizing mechanism for successful projects, about which you can read more Our reporting of a webinar…
