Researchers from the University of Miyazaki in Japan used a new non-destructive method to enable them to investigate solar cell vibrations independently of module components. The study included potential design characteristics for resonance-resistant vehicle integrated PV modules that would increase the natural resonance frequency to more than 2,000 Hz. September 2, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers at the Japanese University of Miyazaki used a new non-destructive, doppler laser-based method to investigate the effects of vibrations on solar cells embedded in a vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV) module, regardless of the car roof and the module components. The study also investigated the potential to…
LG Electronics and Octopus Energy Plan to launch a joint solution in Europe that integrates LGs very efficient heat pumps with the AI-driven cracking platform from Octopus to speed up the acceptance of sustainable heating. September 2, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The LG electronics of South Korea said it will collaborate with the British Octopus energy in the heat pumping activities in Europe. “The partnership will combine the advanced, highly efficient heating and cooling solutions from LG with the AI-driven energy software platform from Octopus Energy, Kraken, to speed up the transition to sustainable energy in Europe,” LG said in a…
The Chinese company said that his new micro -inverter supports four independent MPPT inputs with DC -gang streams up to 18 A. September 2, 2025 Lior Kahana The S2500S-L Image: Sungrow Supplier of the Chinese inverter and energy storage system Sungrow released a new microinverter last week on Intersolar South America 2025 in São Paulo, Brazil. Dubbeds S2500S-L, the new product can take PV input ranging from 560 W to 720 W and converting to an AC output of 2.5 kW. By connecting three units, it is possible to reach 7.5 kW. “It supports four independent MPPT inputs with DC…
Cornell Research Tests Solar Panel Crop Growth in New York A series of studies by Cornell researchers are testing how crops can grow when they can be planted between rows of solar panels on a solar farm in the state of New York. By gaining real data, researchers may possibly offer farmers and policymakers important information, because growing crops between rows of solar panels to maximize double land use will be more critical, especially because the utilities on the utilities are about 9,300 hectares of land. In the first of a series of studies, Cornell researchers tested an autumn harvest…
The pilot production line will be used in Fraunhofer Ise’s Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center (PV-TEC) in Freiburg and will produce topcon sun cells in the G12 format. September 2, 2025 Emiliano Bellini View in the Fraunhofer ISE Fotovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center PV-TEC Image: Fraunhofer Isee The American solar manufacturer Talon PV and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) have announced a joint plan to set up a Pilot Topcon Solar Cell production in Germany. The pilot production line will be used at the photovoltaic technology evaluation center (PV-TEC) of the research institute in Freiburg. The new facility…
China added 1,556 new energy storage projects in July, a total of nearly 140 GWH capacity, with 1,468 application projects and 88 production initiatives, according to the China’s Energy Storage Application Branch (CESA). September 2, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News China continued his fast -growing expansion of the energy storage market in July 2025, with 1,556 new storage -related projects submitted for registration, approximately 53.8 GW/139.6 GWH in cumulative capacity, according to the Energy Storage Application Branch (CESA Sour comes. Of these were 1,468 application projects and 88 were related production and production. The figure of July, 53.8 GW/139.6…
A group of scientists from King’s College London analyzed the potential of SBSP with the help of designs based on NASA’s cost and performance forecasts for 2050. Their analysis used an near-baseload, low technology technology level (TRL) design with mirror-like reflectors or heliostats, which lead sunlight to a single concentrator, making nearly 99.7% annual electricity availability. The study showed that this SBSP design can reduce the total system costs by 7% to 15%, can be compensated to 80% of the wind and solar energy and can reduce battery use by more than 70% (although they noticed that hydrogen remains important…
Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) developer Pulse Clean Energy today (September 2) announced that the latest Bess activum is now operational.The Kolenpit Bess is an active from 30/67 MWh in Atherton, west of Manchester, on the site of a former coal extraction installation. Significant improvements of biodiversity will be made as part of the coal pit project, with just below a hectare of indigenous tree and shrub planting, wild flower planting and an Overbos buffer that yields an estimated 300% biodiversity grid for the former Brownfield site.Financing for the Kolenput Bess came from one £ 220 million green financial deal…
The British government has opened consultations on proposed guidelines for developers of nationally important infrastructure projects (NSIPs).The planning and infrastructure account, published earlier this yearmade various changes to the NSIP process, in an attempt to speed up the delivery and to lower the costs. The consultation discusses measures to further streamline the infrastructure planning process and how best measures from the account can be implemented.The government has also changed How decisions about NSIPs can be challengedReducing the number of times that ‘earnings -free’ cases can be brought against a project from three to one.An important change in the planning process…
The network rules of California get another day before the court. Photo: Renova Energy Newest treasure chest guidance is the safe port requirements for SOLAR ITCWashington, DC On 15 August, the Department of the Treasury released new Solar ITC Safe Harbor guidance in response to a executive order in July by President Donald Trump. The new guidance limited projects that are larger than 1.5 MW of the use of the 5% Safe Haven – so that large projects must use the physical work test to safely restore the ITC.
