Researchers in Qatar have used an algorithm that depends on a variant of the popular logic -based puzzle to determine the optimum way to eliminate cluster bolts. They have tested the new approach under fixed and moving shadows. September 30, 2025 Lior Kahana An international research team has proposed a new reconfiguration technique for PV arroys that operate under fixed and moving shadows. The proposed approach uses an Asterisk Sudoku method to determine the optimum way to connect the panels in the array, eliminating cluster shadow, the considerably reduction of mismatch loss and circumventing dependence. “Asterisk Sudoku is a variant…
By Brad Kramer September 25, 2025 Vermeer optimizes the automation of solar project site with the addition of the Trimble Groundworks Machine Control System at the PD10R and PD25R -External Pile Drivers of the manufacturer. Combining these systems is a step forward in machine automation, which improves productivity in the construction of solar farms. With the addition of the To limit Technology, the Vermeer PD10R or PD25R -Paldriver automatically moves to the precise location of a stack according to the project plan and optimizes the steps required to drive the stack to the accurate depth with minimal operator inputs on…
Mark Porter Auto Group in Zuid-Ohio recently celebrated the completion of a solar array of 196.7-KW at the Pomeroy location. The system, designed and built by Coconut Solarwill generate more than 70% of the dealer’s annual electricity needs. Financing for the project came from a combination of federal tax stimuli and a USDA Rural Energy for America Program (Reap) Grant. These tools have contributed to reducing the costs in advance, making it possible for a small company in the Ohio countryside to invest in advanced energy technology. “Coconut Solar is proud to work with Mark Porter Auto Group on this…
By Brad Kramer September 29, 2025 This edition of Projects Weekly highlights several innovative installations and initiatives across the solar industry. First up is Florida’s Nova Southeastern University becoming the first university in the United States to install a commercial floating solar photovoltaic system. But wait, there’s more! Avangrid signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Amazon for the 57 MWdc Oregon Trail Solar facility in Gilliam County, Oregon. Lightstar Renewables celebrated the completion of New York’s first agrivoltaics project. Ever.green has agreed to a long-term purchase of High-Impact Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) with Wells Fargo to support a 28 MW solar…
Chad is planning to pick up $ 1.1 billion to add 886 MW of current capacity, the majority of which are expected to be solar energy. September 29, 2025 Patrick Jowett Chad strives to use new solar energy towards the end of the decade 520 MW. The goal is part of the national development plan of the country, Chad Connection 2030, which was launched earlier this year. The plan splits into 17 development programs and wants to mobilize a total of $ 30 billion in public and private investments to support the growth in the economy of the country. The…
The fifth renewable electricity support scheme of the Republic of Ireland (RESS 5) has concluded, with around 1.08 GW of capacity, the government said in the announcement of the provisional results of the scheme. The auction secured 218.84 MW of onshore wind capacity and 860.38 MW of solar PV capacity, in total a combined 1,079.22 MW of renewable capacity, spread over 23 projects. This megawatt (mw) sold figure is already 19.2% lower than the 1,334 MW that was secured in Ress 4 last year (960 MW of Sun and 374 MW Wind)But was still the maximum capacity that Ress 5…
The storage market of Italy recovered in the second quarter, because systems on utility companies resulted in a six-fold increase in the implementations of 1 to 10 MWh units. September 29, 2025 Sergio Matalucci By ESS News After a sharp fall that was recorded in the first few months of the year, the Italian storage system market showed signs of recovery in the second quarter, mainly driven by large systems on Nuts scale. That was the finding of the observatory of the storage systems at Anie, based on data from the Gaudì system of Terna. In the second quarter -…
Besente announced that his new Redox Flow Battery technology provides 20 times the energy density of conventional vanadium current storage systems. The battery is based on a zinc -polyiodide redox flow chemistry developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. September 29, 2025 Emiliano Bellini By ESS News Startup Besst, based in the US, has launched a new Redox Flow battery technology that is reportedly reaching 20 times higher energy density than conventional Vanadium Redox Flow energy storage systems. “Our battery is well suited for solar and other renewable projects because the storage with extended duration offers without demolition, which makes…

Two nationally important infrastructure projects (NSIPs) were submitted to the British planning inspection in September.If the two projects are approved, they can have a combined export capacity of up to 1000 MW. Because of their size, both the Lime Down Solar Park and the Rosefield Solar Farm Development Consent Orders (DCOs) need to make progress.As soon as the Inspectorate (PINs) planning accepts the applications, they are passed on to the energy secretary, Ed Miliband for approval.LimeSubmitted for a DCO on September 19 per island of Green Power, would have Lime Down 500 MW capacity and an on -site 1,000 MWH…
