Tempestuous trade conditions and policy uncertainty have led to price price fragmentation in the United States. Prior to an expected reduction in the use of production capacity, the leading manufacturers in China produced a large volume of cells in the spring. OPIS editor Hanwei Wu explains the latest market developments. August 4, 2025 Opis From PV Magazine 6/25 – The hunt for high efficiency Increasingly anticipated trade relationships have led to a variety of price spreads in important markets. Compared to free on board (FOB) China Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (Topcon) modules, according to the OPIS analysis, a premium of…

Scientists simulated different storage systems for liquid air energy, whereby the efficiency of the return between configurations with liquid natural gas (LNG), solar and stirling engines and further optimized performance is compared with the help of particle canopy methods. August 4, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from China has investigated the integration of the Stirling Engine, LNG and Zonne energy in a LAES system for storing Liquid Air Energy). With the help of Aspen Hysys and Matlab, the group have modeled and optimized different combinations of those components. “A Laes system with 3 compressors and 3…

Cosmic Shield Breakthrough can extend the lifespan of the room solar cells A new radiation -resistant coating developed at the University of Surrey can considerably improve the sustainability of the next generation of perovskite solar cells in space. The innovation promises to make satellite solar panels lighter, more efficient and less more expensive than traditional alternatives. Engineers from Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute, in collaboration with Oxford University, the University of New South Wales and various South Korean institutions, have created a protective layer with propane-1.3-Diammonium Jodide (PDAI2). This thin film protects perovskite solar cells from demolition in the space environment,…

Double Materiity Assessment (DMA) has become a central concept in frameworks for environmental, social and governance (ESG), especially under recent regulatory initiatives such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Although the implementation of DMA will only be mandatory for many companies in the coming years, there are already discussions at the EU committee in Brussels about simplifying the process to facilitate acceptance. As an Early Adopteur, Trinasolar shares insights about the goal and benefits of DMA, arguing a strong argument for full transparency and reflects on important lessons from the rollout of the DMA matrix of 2024. August…

Livoltek has launched a new all-in-one battery energy storage system (BESS) for the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector. The new model, designated BESS-P125X261E/U, offers 125 kW nominal capacity and 261.2 kWh of total energy capacity. The Livoltek system, of which the company is part of the hexing group, uses liquid-cooled, lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery packages with 314 AH cells. It is designed for applications, including EV -charging stations, factories and commercial buildings. It can be used for back -up power, peak shears and participation in energy trade markets. According to the product data axle, the system has a system efficiency…

Daikin said that his new EWWH-VZ has water-cooled inverter kuiter and heat pump cooling and heating capacity, ranging from 400 kW to 1,900 kW. The system uses R1234ze as the coolant. August 4, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The manufacturer of the Japanese heating system Daikin has launched a new heat pump system for applications in industrial buildings and district heating. The EWWH-VZ-Water-cooled inverter cooling machine and heat pump system uses Daikin’s Several screw compressors with a variable volume ratio (VVR) own technology, which reportedly calibrates the internal volume ratio according to the operating conditions of the unit. “This system includes a…

India is expected to add 30 GW to new energy storage capacity by June 2027 via independent and fixed Renewable Energy (FDRE) projects, according to a recent report from SBI Capital Markets (SBICAPs). This may possibly push the total capacity up to 36 GW against 24 GW of estimated demand. August 4, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India “Currently, the available storage capacity is heavily under the required account of the assigned energy storage obligation (ESO). In the coming two years, 30 GW storage is expected (Standalone, FDRE, etc.) It said that the surplus capacity will remain dependent on…

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has published a concept of it Updated strategic planThey describe and exploit the efforts of the Power Authority to develop the renewable generation and energy storage projects to improve the reliability and resilience of the New York network. The draft plan comprises 20 new projects for renewable generation and 156 energy storage projects that represent a combined capacity of more than 3.8 GW. Including the first tranche of projects identified in the inaugural strategic plan – approved Due to the NYPA Board of Trustees in January – NYPA’s concept updated strategic plan, 64 potential…

Nano Structured Oxyhalidekatalysts supplies record fuel fuel efficiency on the Zonne -Zonne -Energy In a large pass for solar-powered fuel generation, scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo have designed a nano scale, porous photocatalyst that dramatically increases water and carbon dioxide conversion in antsic acid with the help of sunlight. The new PB2TI2O5.4F1.2 (PTOF) material has around 60 times the activity of previously reported photocatalysts from Oxyhalide. Photo catalysters make the use of sunlight possible to control chemical reactions. When absorbing light, they produce electrons and holes, which then initiate responses, such as hydrogen production and CO2 conversion. PTOF…

Market dynamics, C & I Momentum and Installer requirements The European solar market is undergoing a remarkable redistribution of installed capacity. While the residential segment has experienced an increase in the energy crisis, 2025 projections at an increasing momentum in the C&I (commercial and industrial) and utility segments indicate. The delay in the growth of homes is mainly attributed to high interest rates, stabilized electricity prices and the phasing out of support regulations such as the Superbonus tax credit of Italy. With 65 GW installed in 2024 and the same (or even less) is estimated for 2025, the European solar…
