The result of the auction is rates that dramatically came under the reserve premium that was set at € 37,000 per MWh per year. October 1, 2025 Massimiliano Tripodo By ESS News Taly has completed his first auction for battery storage capacity on the roster scale, which means that all 10 GWH is offered under the new Macse schedule (Meccanismo di Apprvigionamento di Capacità di Stoccaggio elettrico or electricity storage capacity). The tender was held on 30 September for an average price of only € 12,959 per MWh per year, far below the reserve price of € 37,000 per MWh…

After years of planning and a long-awaited launch of the State community-solar program, the very first New Mexico community project is also ready to tackle. The 5-MWAC Cuidando Los Niños Community Solar Project in Belin recently organized a ribbon cutting ceremony. In addition to providing clean electricity to subscribers, the project, developed by affordable solar energy, supports the mission of Cuidando Los Niños to break the cycle of homelessness in children. As part of the celebration, Affordable Solar will present a donation of $ 45,000 to the non -profit. “We are honored to bring the state’s first community project to…

The Photovoltaic Power Systems program of the International Energy Agency (IEA PVPS) says that dust, pollution and debris on solar panels reduce the output by 4% to 7% worldwide, so that industry is cost billions of euros annually and tailor-made mitigation is always urgent. October 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett Pollution About solar installations, the global annual income losses of the global solar industry cost a total of billions of euros, according to a fact sheet published by the IEA PVPS. The faction Explains that pollution is an important cause of underperformance in solar installations worldwide and responsible for between 4%…

Mercom India says that new solar production capacity is powered by a 186 GW project pipeline, 2030 goals and the demand for approved list of models and manufacturer modules. October 1, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India India added 44.2 GW solar modules and 7.5 GW of the production capacity of solar cells in the first half of 2025, according to Mercom India. Tunnel oxide Passivated Contact (TOPcon) Dominated module Production capacity Additions with 39.9 GW, followed by 3 GW Monocrystalline Modules. For the first time, 1.2 GW Hetero Junction (HJT) Modulecapacity was added to the country. No new…

Solar energy is one of the best investments you can make for your home, offering decades of clean energy and savings on your electricity bills. Like any valuable home improvement, your solar panels deserve basic protection to ensure they continue delivering benefits for years to come. While solar panel theft does occasionally occur, it’s easily preventable with simple security measures that most homeowners can implement without major expense or hassle. The good news is that most solar installations face no security issues at all, and with a few smart precautions, you can protect your investment and enjoy peace of mind.…

Ultrasnelle stabilization of positive loads unveiled in the catalyst of Sun Rounds Researchers have used advanced quantumchemic molecular dynamics simulations to capture the ultrasnelle formation of cargo stabilizing polarones in NATAO3, a benchmark photo catalyst for splitting solar water. The work shows that positive loads, or hole polarones, much faster and strongly stabilize than electrons, which provides important insights for engineering of the next generation of sunbathing catalysts of the next generation. The simulations showed that holes of polarones stabilization of approximately 70 mv undergo within only 50 femtoseconds, mainly driven by the extension of oxygen tantalumbing. This is in…

Scientists in Finland have created a special platform to assess the performance of PV modules that work under Arctic conditions. In particular, it offers data for efficient system design and validation of performance modeling, where Azimut and tilt corner is important parameters. October 1, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Finlands University of Oulu have carried out a two -year empirical evaluation of solar panels in various azimuts and tilt corners under Arctic conditions. They took the measurements through a unique carousel-shaped infrastructure that records data with high resolution, Multi-Azimut data. Market statistics were also considered in the techno-economic analysis.…

In this article co-authored by Dan Monzani, managing director, UK & Ireland, and Tom Betts, senior associate, at Aurora Energy Research, they walk us through the viable next steps for investment signals after zonal pricing was ruled out.There are two respectable theories of change for decarbonising the British power system.  The first is that, because we had allowed action to lag ambition, we needed a renewed and urgent sense of mission with all levers pressed forward urgently to the max. Only a “war spirit” could catalyse government and industry sufficiently.  And so, the UK’s “Clean Power 2030 Mission” targets an unprecedented…

The Chinese manufacturer Sunwoda Energy introduced a modular all-in-one energy storage system with a maximum of 40 kWh capacity and 30 kW output for residential and small commercial use. October 1, 2025 Lior Kahana Chinese Energy Solutions Company Sunwoda Energy has introduced a modular all-in-one Energy Storage System (ESS) for houses and small companies, the company said in a statement. The Suness Power combines hybrid inverters and lithium-iron phosphate (lifepo₄) batteries in multiple configurations. “In the core, Suness Power integrates an intelligent energy optimizer at the module level that increases the voltage from 51 V to 350-450 V, making flexible…
