Nex trackerA provider for solar tracker and related technologies has launched a new initiative for artificial intelligence and robotics. In the past year, the company has invested more than $ 40 million to acquire three AI and robotics technologies. These acquisitions build on the end-to-end digital platform of NexTracker for the implementation of solar energy plants. Credit: Nexpracker NexPracker acquired Onsight technology, an autonomous robot inspection and fire detection system for solar energy plants. The AI-driven Tools from Onsight use predictive maintenance by identifying and predicting common mechanical and electrical disruptions, so that assets are reducing the operational risk, improving…

Efficient flexible solar cells thrive in damp environments The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has unveiled a new perovskite solar cell that remains very efficient and mechanically durable, even in moist conditions, so that the production of solar energy can be transformed by eliminating the need for controlled environments. The project was led by Dr. Dong-Chan Lim and Dr. So-Yeon Kim from the Energy and Environment Materials Research Division. Perovskite materials offer strong potential as alternatives to silicon because of their low costs and flexibility. However, their sensitivity to moisture and limited mechanical durability has impeded commercialization, which requires…

UK Energy Trader BB Energy has commissioned a 25 MW trader plant in Zambia, which marks the first such facility to become a member of the South African Energiepool market. An extension of 35 MW is planned for completion later this year as part of a 118 MW target by 2027. August 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett The British energy trade group BB Energy has enabled a 25 MW-Merchant solar facility in Zambia. The first phase of the Mailo Solar factory in Central Zambia, owned by the subsidiary of BB Energy Solarcentury Africa, is now fully operational and actively acts electricity…

Apartment owners and managers of California who offer housing for residents of low incomes now have access to large cost savings on energy storage systems through the state Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (Somah) program. A Sunrun installation that had access to Somah stimuli. The new stimulation offer makes it more affordable for eligible properties to combine storage with solar energy systems, thereby stimulating the resilience of the energy for residents and at the same time reduces electricity costs in the long term. Energy storage systems must be combined with new Somah -Zonne installations. Incentives can cover up to 100%…

Increasing the use of solar energy offers an important chance of reducing American carbon emissions A new study led by Harvard Th Chan School of Public Health Projects that could reduce the increasing generation of solar energy in the US by 15% of carbon dioxide emissions by 8.54 million tonnes per year. The findings underline how strategic investments in solar energy can maximize climate benefits, depending on the region. Francesca Dominici, the accompanying author and director of the Harvard Data Science Initiative, said: “This is an exciting study in the sense that it uses the power of Data Science to…

The solar market of Croatia continues to grow steadily, led by the self -supply and commercial and industrial (C&I) segments, while regulatory barriers block the development of utility scale on utility scale. August 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett CroatiaThe cumulative solar capacity reached 1,099 MW at the end of June 2025, according to figures from the renewable energy sources of Croatia Association (Res Croatia). The total figure consists of 980 MW connected to the distribution network and 119 MW to the transmission network. At the end of June, Solar accounted for 5.4% of the total electricity generation in the country. Res…

Sunnova Energy International has announced that the American bankruptcy court has approved the sale for the southern district of Texas of almost all its assets and business activities to an AD HOC Group debteur-in-owners and affiliated companies or entities of the company. Sunnova says that this milestone is a “successful result” in chapter 11 -cases of the company that maximizes the value of stakeholders and retains the continuity of core activities for customers and partners. The sales transaction, which is expected to be concluded in August 2025, subject to the usual closing conditions, was determined as the highest or otherwise…

Mapping the areas where solar energy is most effectively reduced the carbon emissions Increasing the generation of solar energy by 15% in the US can eliminate 8.54 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, according to new research by Rutgers University, Harvard Th Chan School of Public Health and Stony Brook University. Published in Science Advances, the study highlights significant geographical differences in the climate benefits of solar energy, which shows where solar investments produce the most substantial emission reductions. From 2023, 60% of American electricity was generated from fossil fuels, while only 3.9% came from solar energy, based on…

China installed 268 GW of new renewable capacity in the first half of 2025, almost doubled year after year, with solar accounting for 212 GW of the total, says the Nation’s energy planning office. August 1, 2025 Vincent Shaw The National Energy Administration (NEA) said that China added 268 GW to new renewable energy capacity in the first half of 2025, an increase of 99.3% year on year and good for 91.5% of all new power installations. Solar contributed 212 GW of the total 100 GW of projects on Nuts scale and 112 GW from distributed systems-filled by 51.39 GW…

Solarcycle announced a breakthrough in solar circularity with the successful development of a proof-of-concept solar panel made with 50% recycled glass from solar panels at the end of life. The demonstration panel, or ‘mini module’, was developed in collaboration with the IRA A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. Under the leadership of Zachary Holman, Vice -Dean for Research and Innovation, the project tested the performance potential of solar panels built with specialized recycled glass. The research showed that panels made with recycled tanning glass correspond to the performance of those made with traditional materials, which marked a…
