China Electric Equipment Group has awarded almost all 7,248 MWh in the 2025 Energy Storage Cell -TRIGHT to 314 AH products, with winners, including Cornex and Trina Storage. August 18, 2025 Tristan Rayner Image: PV Magazine, John Fitzgerald Weaver By ESS News China Electric Equipment Group has published the results of the centralized purchasing of 2025 for energy storage cells, with almost the entire 7,248 MWh -in -ordered to 314 AH products. The tender was divided into 10 packages, the tender covered cell capacities of 50 AH, 100 AH, 280 AH and 314 AH. The scale is not only remarkable…

Wave Power can come forward as a valuable renewable energy source, given recent economic and technical projections that indicate a considerable potential of golf energy, especially in coastal and island regions. Golf and sun sources are complementary all over the world and can therefore lead to energy systems that combine solar PV with golf force. Islands can benefit the most from wave power added to Solar PV. August 18, 2025 Lut University While the world is struggling with the urgent need to switch to sustainable energy sources, golf force is on the rise as a promising alternative to traditional technologies…

Data center companies can buy electric utility companies and add renewable generation in the United States, says Simon Mahan, executive director of the Southern Renewable Energy Association, which represents the wind, solar, storage and transmission sectors sectors. August 18, 2025 William Driscoll By PV Magazine USA PV Magazine: Why would a data center company consider buying an electric utility? Simon Mahan: Of course this concept is hypothetical. But if you look at artificial intelligence and growth of data centers, access to significant amounts of energy begins to become a bottleneck for many of these large companies – the Amazons, the…

Tindo Solar, the only producer of PV modules from Australia, has officially released a new generation of Topcon N-type solar panels, including a completely black version with an output of 475 W and conversion efficiency of 21.9%. August 18, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia The based manufacturer of Adelaide, Tindo Solar, said that his newest Walara product, based on tunneloxide-passivated contact (topcon) N-type technology, is available in a 440 W version and a 475 W panel that is a completely black, seamless product. The manufacturer said the new Walara G4P 475 W All-Black Panel has a power conversion…

Indian researchers simulated a new coupling of a CSGEI3 Lead-free Halide Perovskiet Top cell with a copper-Indium-gallium-selenide soil cell. The resulting tandem device can achieve a power conversion -efficiency of 26.06% August 18, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers, led by a Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology team in India, have simulated a tandem solar cell based on a lead-free perovskiet top cell with a wide energy band of 1.6 EV and a copper-Indium-Gallium-Gallium-selenide (CIGS) with a narrow band of 1,1 EVE device. The new two-term device has a potential conversion efficiency of 26.06% “The current study focuses on minimizing the losses…

Turn energyA National Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer, and the University of Colorado Boulder, broke officially on a 5-MWDC Virtual Net Measurement Solar Project in Weld County, Colorado last week.

Researchers in Denmark have developed a new size strategy to combine PV system processing with lithium ion batteries and super capacitors. The proposed approach would reduce the annual battery cycle by 13%. August 18, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of scientists at Aalborg University in Denmark has devised a new measuring approach for combining PV current generation with hybrid energy storage of lithium ion batteries and super capacitors in an attempt to improve storage activities and reduce operational costs. “By combining lithium-ion batteries with super capacitors in an intelligent way, we use the strengths of each technology,” said the research…

Lithium Universe Chief Executive Iggy Tan said that the collaboration with Macquarie University is aimed at solutions that combines Macquarie’s research of world class with the commercial vision of the company. “Together we deliver a breakthrough recycling solution that restores silver with a lot of purity while retaining waffle integrity,” Tan said. Veettil said that the technology could possibly expand later to extract other valuable metals, including gallium, indium and copper from discarded solar panels. The Australian Energy Council has said that by 2050, the global waste from the solar panel will reach 60-78 million tons, whereby only Australia accumulates…

A project from Solmicrogrid. Solmicrogrid announced the launch of its energy-as-a-service ‘(Eaas) partner program, where the company will only buy an existing solar energy or full Microgrid system that is on or almost completed, giving them a fast output and preceding cash. In turn, Solmicrogrid will offer the giving customer clean, no-capex energy under a long-term energy-as-a-service (EAAS) agreement. In comparison with the traditional “build-and-sell” model that is common in the entire industry, the approach of Solmicrogrid offers a flexible solution and delivers faster outputs to developers, together with cost savings, operational efficiency and seamless energy management to host sites.…

Jakson Green secured 85,000 tons (MT) per year in Solar Energy Corp. From India’s (SECI) sixth green ammonia auction on a record-drill inr 50.75 ($ 0.58)/kg, which marks the lowest bid so far. August 15, 2025 Uma Gupta Image: Jakson Green Infinity By PV Magazine India Jakson Green achieved 85,000 MT per year in SECI’s sixth green ammonia auction on a record-run inr 50.75/kg, with the previous lowest bid of INR 51.80/kg defeating and set a new benchmark for green ammonia prices in India. The company will deliver the Green Ammonia to Coromandel International Ltd. (CIL) in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.…
