The Paris, based in Paris, has protected a senior debt facility of $ 5.7 million to develop a floating solar project of 5.8 MW in the Seychelles, which revived plans that were delayed by the COVID-19 Pandemie. August 21, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Paweł Wielądek, Unsplash Paris head office Renewable energy company QAIR has protected $ 5.7 million to finance the development of a floating solar project of 5.8 MW in the Seychelles. The floating solar project of Seysun Lagoon will be located on the Lagoon of Providence on Mahé Island. The project has since been in the pipeline 2020…
A typical craft brewery consumes as much electricity as 50 homes annually, with energy costs making up 15-20% of total operating expenses. For brewery and distillery owners watching utility bills climb month after month, these numbers are more than statistics—they reflect a challenge threatening profitability and growth. As electricity rates rise and consumers increasingly demand sustainable practices, forward-thinking beverage producers are discovering that solar power offers immediate cost relief and long-term strategic advantages. The brewing and distilling industries have reached a juncture where energy efficiency transcends environmental considerations to become a business necessity. According to industry data, breweries spend roughly…
The new energy storage capacity of China exceeded 100 GW in June 2025, with total installations of 164.3 GW, which surpass pumped Hydro additions in the midst of accelerating implementations and changing market dynamics, according to the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA). August 21, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News The new market for energy storage from China reached earlier this week in the first half of 2025, according to a report from CNESA on the Western Energy Storage Forum in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. CNESA said that the total energy storage capacity in China end-Juni at 164.3 GW was an…
New research by Poland has proposed to install 891 PV panels along the entire tram platform and Inter-track rooms of four large transport hubs. The analysis showed that the PV system could provide all tram stops of the city, the passenger information system, with power and 10% of the demand from Service Depots could meet. August 21, 2025 Lior Kahana A researcher from Krakow University of Economics of Poland has analyzed the cost-effectiveness of installing PV panels in tram tracks of the Huta district of Krakow. “Although PV integration in urban environments is not new, it is specifically applying to…
Woodward AcademyA private pre-k-12 school in Atlanta, Georgia, is probably the first K-12 school in the country that installs solar panels on athletic facilities. The 47.7-KW awning system at the Sutherland Family Softball complex was built by Cherry Street Energy And join two other solar systems on the Woodward campus. “The addition of these new solar panels is much more than an energy project – it is a statement about the future we want for our students,” said Dr. Chris Freer, president of Woodward Academy. “By investing in renewable energy, we show that innovation and community values can come together…
The PV sector of China has closed two technical breakthroughs for applications for extreme environment, with Trina Solar and Ja Solar field data and new products that underline the durability of Chinese modules in damp heating and Desert/Gobi Woestenij circumstances. The claims offer bankable options for various project environments worldwide.Trina Solar reported throughout the year moist field results for its N-Type Topcon 700W+ Vertex module in Wenschang, Hainan-a tropical maritime site characterized by high temperature and humidity, 1,975 mm annual rainfall and approximately 86% relative humidity. After more than a year in real-world operation, the modules showed an intact mechanical…
New nuclear battery design provides high efficiency and sustainability A research team led by Prof. Haisheng San from Xiamen University and Prof. dr. Xin Li from the China Institute of Atomic Energy has developed a new class of 90SR Radio Photovoltaic Cells (RPVC) that combine high power with long-term sustainability. The innovation is based on a structure of a wave conductor concentration (WLC), which integrates multi-layered Gagg: CE scintillation wave guides with strontium-90 radio isotopes. Testing with electron rays and Krypton-85 sources confirmed that the wave conductor edges produce efficient radioluminescence, making the photovoltaic process more effective than traditional designs.…
US President Donald Trump signed the only Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) on July 4, whereby the most important inflation reduction act was laid down for energy storage and the sector brace for turbulence. August 20, 2025 Phoebe Skok By ESS News The OBBBA is a major investment risk for many green financiers. The extensive legislation has withdrawn billions of dollars in tax incentives for clean energy, imposed new domestic content rules for renewable energy sources and extensive “foreign entity of concern” (FEOC) limitations, many of which directly affect the storage of energy. It is unknown territory. “This is the…
Fullmark Energy announced the Commercial Operations Date (COD) of its 20-MW/40-MWH Energy Storage project in Lake Elsinore, California. The Mijlpaal marks the third project to achieve activities within the Redwood Project Portfolio of Fullmark Energy, a strategic collection of energy storage facilities in South California. The Ortega Project team has successfully navigated several complex challenges, including the development of a complicated interconnection design that met the requirements of the landowner and the implementation of a sensitive approach to Wetland retention that met California Department of Fish & Wildlife Standards. In addition to complying with the legal requirements, the project yielded…
Researchers from Trina Solar and China’s Nanchang University claim that they have verified that sunscreen contact solar modules only perform better than topcon modules when fewer than three cells are shaded in a substring. Their findings were published in a peer-reviewed scientific article. August 20, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from Trinasolar’s State Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology (SKL) and Nanchang University in China have carried out a series of simulations to compare the performance of return contact (BC) solar cells with top concels under shadow conditions. The research group explained that their goal was not to investigate the…
