Slovenia installed 85 MW of Solar Zon in the first half of 2025, powered by growth in commercial and industrial (C&I) projects and installations on utility scale. The lowest total in four years reflects a sharp fall in the installations of residential installations, despite continuous subsidies for hybrid systems for homes. August 8, 2025 Patrick Jowett Slovenia added 85 MW of solar energy during the first six months of 2025, according to figures from the Slovenian photovoltaic association (Zdruenje Slovenske Fotovoltaike). The director of the association, Nina Hojnik, said PV -Magazine That the figure marks the lowest added capacity in…
Tesla retains its first place for the second consecutive year as the leading global producer in the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Integrator market with a market share of 15% in 2024, according to Wood Mackenzie Energy Storage System Integrator Ranking 2025 Report. The Chinese competitor Sungrow limits the gap, however, holds on to second place with 14% market share, which reduces Tesla’s lead in 2023 in 2023 to only one point in 2024. Colleague -Chinese manufacturer CRRC has completed the top 3 with a market share of 8%. In particular for the North -American market, Tesla kept first place…
Hybrid storage design at two level increases the efficiency of solar energy and reduces costs In an era in which renewable energy reforms electricity networks, the photovoltaic capacity of solar energy (PV) is still standing for a core challenge: the sun rarely provides energy exactly when the demand peaks. Researchers from the University of Aalborg have introduced a design on two levels for hybrid energy storage systems (Hess) that can make solar energy more reliable and more economical. The system integrates lithium ion batteries with super capacitors, which tackles the intermittency problem and at the same time reduces the relegation…
The latest analysis of ALEASOFT Energy Forecasting is an increase in solar energy production that has lowered electricity prices in some European markets last week. By the start of the month, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain all have new records for solar energy produced on a day in August. August 8, 2025 Patrick Jowett The weekly average electricity price during the week of July 28 fell on large European electricity markets, according to analysis of ALEASOFT Energy Prognosing. Compared to the week before, the Spanish consultancy noted a decrease in the weekly average electricity price in the Belgian, British, Dutch,…
Flexgen Power Systems, a battery integrator and provider of energy management software, will acquire a considerable part of Powin’s activities after Powin of large-scale battery bankruptcy has applied for bankruptcy earlier this year. By the acquisition, Flexgen will have all Powin IPIncluding hardware IP, software IP and information technology systems, together with a considerable inventory of spare parts. When closing the acquisition, Flexgen will support more than 25 GWh of storage systems for battery energy and 200 projects in 10 countries in its portfolio. Flexgen’s Remote Operations Center (ROC) will get system visibility to guarantee continuity for POWIN customers, while…
The production of the production of India for a high efficient solar PV modules (PLI) has led to 18.5 GW Modulecacy, 9.7 GW of solar cell capacity and 2.2 GW Ingot-Wafer capacity that is set on 30 June 2025. The program has a total of 48 GW of Module Production Capacity. August 8, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India The PLI scheme of India for highly efficient solar panels has led to 18.5 GW PV module production capacity from 30 June 2025. It also has 9.7 GW in solar cell capacity and 2.2 GW Ingot-Wafer capacity. State Minister for…
A solar project in Nevada by McCarthy. On August 4 Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo sent a letter to sec. from interior Doug Burgum who asks for guidance on changes in the development of solar energy in federal countries, according to E&E News. The Governor said that the interior memo department announced that the secretary himself would revise from solar and wind rental contracts, transit rights, construction and operation plans, subsidies, consultations and biological opinions about public countries, frozen solar projects already deep in the development frame. “The memo has not only stopped developing solar energy on federal countries in Nevada,…
The entire Eland Solar + storage project, which has been developed by Arevon Energy, is now fully operational. The two-phase moose project, located near Mojave in Kern County, is one of the largest solar storage facilities in the country, with a total capital costs of more than $ 2 billion. Eland consists of 758 MWDC Solar accompanied by 300 MW/1,200 MWh of energy storage. Eland 1 reached a commercial operation at the end of 2024 and moose 2 recently started with full operation – together the two phases 1.36 million solar panels and 172 Lithium -iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. “We…
The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has launched an inspection program from 2025 aimed at energy consumption on 41 large polys silicon producers to curb the output. August 8, 2025 Vincent Shaw and Valerie Thompson The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (Miit) has launched an inspection program from 2025 that focuses on energy consumption in 41 large polysilicon producers. The agency expects that the checks, which must be submitted on 30 September, will curb the output by sharpening the standards for energy consumption and significantly influence production capacity and supply. China Southern Glass (CSG) said…
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says that by 2050 US hydrogen production will increase by around 80%, mainly of natural gas with minimal use of electrolyzer, while important players in industry promote large -scale green hydrogen projects and expand the support of hydrogen vehicles on world markets. August 8, 2025 Sergio Matalucci The eiaAn agency of the US government said that in most scenarios for the American hydrogen market, production will rise by around 80% in 2050 compared to 2024, with the most hydrogen (Heper) coming from natural gas via steam methaan reform (SMR). “In most cases we project…
