A month after India had introduced a mandate for renewable power plants for renewable power plants and China tore its own, Mexico anticipated an ambitious capacity requirement of 30%, in addition to plans to add another 574 MW of batteries by 2028. March 31, 2025 Mariha Maisch By ESS News Future wind and solar energy projects in Mexico will be obliged to colocate battery energy storage systems equal to 30% of their capacity, a high government official told the Senate on Tuesday. “We have already changed the grid code and have determined that for every intermittent renewable generation, 30% will…
Researchers in Switzerland have investigated the impact behavior of iceballs on an aluminum Hopkinson bar with different speeds, diameter and temperature. March 31, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland have performed a series of tests to assess the impact of sunballs on solar modules with the aim of improving the standards for measuring their Hailstone security resistance. In the newspaper “An experimental study into the behavior of the iceball effect to improve the PV panel hailstone safetyPublished in the International Journal of Impact EngineeringThey explained that their analysis cThis allows the…
Recent data show that in 2024 Israel added 900 MW to PV capacity of solar energy. March 31, 2025 Ilias Tsagas According to information published by the Israeli electricity authority, the country installed 900 MW photovoltaic capacity and 11 MW Biogascapacity last year. This is approximately 200 MW less than the 1.1 GW new PV capacity installed in 2023. The official reports of Israel miss details about the various segments of the Zonnemarkt, but Eitan Parnass, founder and director of Israel’s Green Energy Association, provided PV -Magazine With additional information. Parnass noticed a complete switch from offered PV projects to…
Scanifly has a solar design and field processing software, has Integrated services of PegasusA provider based in California on the roof of solar mounting systems. The integration automatically transfers scanifly design data and panel placement directly into the Pegasus design tool, which eliminates platform switching and duplicate work. Credit: Pegasus The direct API integration connects the design environment of Scanifly with the Rack Lay -Out of Pegasus, Bill of Materials (BOM) and technical document options. Solar contractors can now select assembly equipment and generate a bomb in one uniform workflow. “Accurate rack systems require precise roof measurements, exact panel placement…
Modi to get the construction of India-Sri Lanka Solar Plant Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the construction of a long delayed solar energy project during his upcoming visit to Sri Lanka, an official said on Friday. Vikram Miskri, the secretary of the Foreign Ministry of India, said that Modi and Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will witness a virtual groundbreaking ceremony for their joint venture solar energy project in the northeast of the island on April 5. The proposed company of 120 megawatts in the northeastern coastal district of Trincomalee has been stuck for years, but New…
This week, women in Solar Europe (Wisu) give a voice to Elodie Colliard, director of the Green Giraf of Switzerland. She explained that she encountered her fair share of gender -based assumptions and prejudices. “Although the inequalities remain clear and women are still a minority, I comfort myself to see more of us coming to the industry, to bring our skills and perspectives to the table,” she explains. March 28, 2025 Women in Solar Europe (Wisu) When I started my career in renewable energy more than ten years ago, I quickly noticed something that stands out. The industry was almost…
Trinasolar announced that it has developed an “industrial standard” solar panel that reaches 800 W. The 3.1 m2 Module using 210 × 105 mm perovskiet/silicon tandem solar cells reached 808 W and was certified by inspection body TÜV Süd. The rectangular cell (essentially a half-sliced G12-Wafer) lay silicon and perovskites to exceed conventional efficiency assessments. “This is a monumental breakthrough for Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Modules and an important milestone in PV technology,” said Gao Jifan, chairman and CEO of Trinasolar. Since conventional silicon -based solar cell efficiency is approaching its theoretical limit, very efficient tandem cells have attracted increasing attention.…
Optical progress offers a boost for designing the next generation of solar module In 2023, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems accounted for more than 5 percent of global electricity production, with installed capacity that doubled around two to three years. Optical technologies are now on the rise as important enablers to further improve the efficiency of the module and to make new applications possible, including aesthetically tailor -made solar panels for building facades. A new expert-driven report, coordinated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) Scientists Prof. dr. Christiane Becker and Dr. Klaus Jager, offers a detailed analysis of the most promising innovations in…
Weekly average electricity prices fell below € 85 ($ 91.56)/MWh last week on most major European markets while France, Germany and Italy all broke records for the production of solar energy for a single day in March. March 28, 2025 Patrick Jowett Weekly average electricity prices fell on most major European markets last week, according to ALEASOFT Energy Prognosing. The consultancy registered the price falls in the Belgian, British, Dutch, French, German, Nordic, Portuguese and Spanish markets, where the Italian market is the only exception. Averages in all analyzed markets, except the British and Italian markets, fell under € 85…
The real North Solar project of Avangrid near Waco, Texas, has reached commercial operation. It is Avangrid’s largest solar project so far, at 321 MWDC. True North supplies electricity to the Texas Grid and supports the activities of Meta, including the upcoming data center in the adjacent Temple, the second data center facility in Texas. By one Recent report from the US Dept. or EnergyData centers can rise to 12% of American power consumption by 2028, about three times last year’s level. Projects like these are crucial to support this demand growth and to ensure that local communities have resilient…
