From PV Magazine 8/25 The American solar industry has thrive on an abundance of flat, dry land, where at least civil work was needed. But in Southeast Asia, land is limited and often uneven. Developers are routinely forced to choose between expensive assessment or continue as things are and accept a lower energy production per hectare. Without a deep understanding of these challenges, even well -financed projects can be delayed, derailed or ultimately not being able to deliver to deliver their expected value. Areas near volcanoes are particularly challenging. A site that we supported in Southeast Asia had a very…
The Japanese company said that the first pilot projects are being carried out in the metropolitan area of Tokyo with the support of the Japanese oil giant Eenos. September 10, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pump Image: Panasonic The Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic announced that it is currently a new energy management system (EMS) that helps to increase the self-consumption of the residential PV by combining solar power generation with heat pumps and batteries.

Sungrow has introduced a modular inverter of 4.8 MW and new utility scale and commercial storage systems at the RE+ Trade Show in Las Vegas. The products include advanced grid formation options and efficiency improvements. September 10, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Sungrow has Introduced are SG4800UD-MV-us modular inverter intended for solar installations in North America. The 4.8 MW converter has both grid-forming and off-grid sunscreen capacities. Sungrow said that the inverter combines the benefits of both central and string-ominers and offers 800 kW per unit with a flexible design intended to support a reduced balance of system…
The semi-transparent solar concentrator of the research team can be covered directly with standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect circularly polarized sunlight and lead to solar cells installed to the edge of a window. A prototype of 1 inch diameter was found able to immediately feed a 10 MW fan under sunlight. September 10, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research team established on Chinese Nanjing University has developed a transparent, colorless and unidirectional solar center plant that is compatible with existing windows. Solar concentrators are designed to converge solar energy to the side of architectural glass. Handy…
Enphase Energy has revealed its new one today IQ Bidirectional EV -charger Architecture for vehicle-to-home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capacity. The charger connects with the Direct Current (DC) port of the electric vehicle (EV) and has homeowners charge their EV, drive their home during malfunctions and share energy with the grid -all managed via the Enphase app. The IQ Bidirectional EV charger only needs to be linked to the IQ meter collar for a simple, powerful configuration that delivers back -up and grid services for home. The system is designed to be cost -effective, easy to install and to be…
A team of researchers has developed a domain adjustment framework that is able to transfer knowledge of solar energy plants with abundant data to plants that must be trained without labeled data. The framework has been tested on three solar energy sites in Germany and turned out to be better performing than reference models. September 10, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from German Constructor University have developed a new non -controlled domain adjustment framework for predictions for solar energy. Their technology learns transferable functions of one tanning factory with abundant data and transfers this knowledge to another solar energy plant where…
