The Mygrid 10K Home Generator comprises an inverter of 10 kW and is assessed for 6000 cycles. April 2, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Nature’s Generator announced the release of his MyGrid 10K, a storage system for home batteries and inverter. The product includes a 10.5 kWh lithium -iron phosphate battery and an inverter with a continuous output power of 10 kW. The battery is assessed at 51.2 V, 205 AH and has an expected life cycle of 6000 cycle. The battery supports both off-grid and grid-connected configurations. “MyGrid 10K is Plug & Play, movable, compatible with existing…
Scientists in China have designed a self-insulated composite outdoor wall panel, in which a solar collector panel, PV panel and insulation card are integrated. The proposed experimental attitude is said to have a static payback period of 1.1 years. April 2, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from China have proposed a new self-informing composite outdoor wall panel for solar-self-inspired composite for applications in buildings. The system integrates a solar collector panel, PV panel and insulation card in a single unit to deliver hot air indoors. It is the fourth generation of this mechanism developed by the same group, which has now…
The earthquake of 7.9 Magnitude had consequences for the western regions of China that are good for around 50% of the total production capacity of the country in the Solar Wafer, which means that companies are forced to suspend production. April 2, 2025 Patrick Jowett The large-scale earthquake that Central Myanmar struck by the end of March disrupted the global solar supply chain, according to a statement from Jinkosolar. A spokesperson for the Chinese module manufacturer told PV -Magazine The earthquake of 7.9-magnitude had a “big impact” in the western regions of China, the primary waffle-producing area of the country,…

A study with the estimate of the economic viability of solar energy on the roof in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania predicts the level of electricity (LCOE) for PV systems in the Baltic conditions against between € 0.08 ($ 0.087) and € 0.09/kWh by a discount percentage of 6%. April 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett Researchers at Riga Technical University and Czech Technical University in Prague have explored the economic feasibility of solar systems on the roof in buildings with multiple apartment Estonia” Latvia And Lithuania. The research paper “Estimation of LCOE for PV electricity production in the Baltic States – Latvia,…
The Old Hill Farm Solar Project, developed by Woodfield Renewable Partners, is now complete in Jefferson Valley, New York. The 6.1-MW project is built on steep, uneven terrain and called for limited land disorders. Woodfield turned to the long span rack system of DCE Solar for the difficult project. The implementation was just as critical as design and DCE services helped with the installation. The precision drill and mechanical installation expertise of the company ensured that the rack system was not only placed safely, but also seamlessly integrated into the natural contours of the site. “The long span rack of…
Days after entering the office, the Trump administration announced rates for important US trading partners. While Canada and Mexico negotiated a one-month stay, rates seem to play an even greater role in American trade policy until 2029. Paula Mints is investigating the history of American rates with a focus on the solar industry. April 1, 2025 PV -Magazine From PV Magazine 3/25 On 1 February, the United States announced a rate of 25% for Mexican goods and non-oil and gas imports from Canada. Canadian oil and gas were hit by a rate of 10%, with the same applied to all…
A study by Roth Capital partners from installers of residential solar and energy storage has unveiled a clear market shift from the leading battery provider in some parts of the United States. April 1, 2025 Ryan Kennedy Image: PV Magazine, Jonathan Gifford By ESS News The Tesla shares fell nearly 50% in December compared to its highest time and the Na-American election result colourse in value it had enjoyed. Political tensions with regard to the actions of Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk as leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) have led to widespread protests and even vandalism…
Scientists in Australia have shown how pre-cooling and preheating in Australian buildings can be implemented with the support of surplus solar energy. Their analysis has shown that summer has the highest potential for reducing air conditioning. April 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated how excess solar energy from PV installations on the roof can be used for pre-cooling and pre-heating (SPCAH) for solar energy in residential buildings. “SPCAH helps to reduce the later demand for air conditioning or heating, making our energy consumption more efficient,” said the author of…
Federal solar incentives are in the hands of the Ways and Means Committee, while they debate about the federal budget. Trump rates on trading partners go through BoomerangWashington, DC The Trump government has been threatening back and forth since February due to new 25% rates for goods from Canada and Mexico. After the rates came into force at the beginning of March, President Trump paused them in accordance with the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement (USMCA) until 2 April, according to Yahoo Finance. 21 House Republicans Stem support for IRA as budget reasons startWashington, DC While the Committee of the House Ways…
