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…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. August 1, 2025 Opis The China Mono Premium-Opis’ assessment for mono-quality polysilicon used in the production of N-Type Ingot-Nam with 8.70% week-on-week to CNY 43,750/kg, or CNY 0.092 ($ 0.013)/W, according to the Opis Solar Weekly report. The prices of Polysilicon in China rose for the fourth consecutive week, largely driven by government guidelines to tackle the cost prices. According to market sources, bundled transaction prices for N-type and P-type Polysilicon have reached around…

German Nut RWE has the approval of the environment for its Los Durmientes project in the Antopagasta region in Chile, which combines a sunfalry of 243.6 MW with a 255.4 MW/1,277 MWH Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). August 1, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Gestión Ambiental Consultores By ESS News The approval of the Chilean Environmental Assessment Commission marks an important milestone for RWEs $ 300 million solar and storage project, which introduced the permit in January 2024. The construction is planned for 2026, with commercial operation aimed at 2027. The five -hour Bess is designed to offer stability and flexibility…

Researchers in the Netherlands have suggested a residential energy system that combines PV, solar thermal and PV thermal panels with thermal energy storage of Aquifer and a heat pump, achieving a seasonal performance coefficient of seven in five buildings. July 30, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of researchers from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands investigated a hybrid system that combined different types of solar collectors with heat pumps and storage devices. The team simulated the system in five Amsterdam buildings, taking into account various operational modes based on climate conditions and building characteristics. “In this study, a…

From PV Magazine 6/25 Overproduction at levels that outweigh the final demand is untenable for every industry, and from 2022 to 2024 the PV industry over produced considerably, which leads to large storage growth and manufacturers of support in a corner. At the end of 2024, Cru Group believes that the global module inventory has risen high enough to explain around 50% of the installations in the same year. It is important to note that this oversupply did not arise due to a decrease in the final demand. In 2022, 2023 and 2024 there were strong installations in the PV…

On July 11, Lodestar Energy held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate its latest community sun project in New Windsor, New York. The 2.5 MWAC Project Op Moores Hill will provide approximately 350 houses in the city of Kingston renewable energy and offer residents environmental, social and economic benefits. The event brought together the devoted team of Lodestar and important community partners, including mayor Steve Noble and Chief Sustainability Officer Julie Noble, together with representatives of the Mid-Hudson Energy Transition, a local non-profit, a local non-profit, a partner of a community. Their collaboration was crucial for the success of the…

August 1, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Trina green hydrogen Has sent its Megawatt class container electrolytic hydrogen production system from China to Europe. “It is expected to arrive at the destination in September 2025 and to be brought into demonstration work before the end of the year. This marks a significant breakthrough in the entire process of supplying Trina Green in the global hydrogen energy market,” ” said The Chinese company. It noted that…

Jared Polis government has today announced new actions to expand the leading progress of Colorado about saving people on renewable energy and to improve the cheaper access to clean energy for people in the whole state. This includes a new one Colorado Energy Savings Navigatorhelping this color trance determine which tax credits they are eligible to save money on clean energy, as well as an executive action by GOV. Policy to ensure that government agencies give priority to renewable energy projects that save money and stimulate the economy of Colorado. “Today we take action to ensure that ColorAdans have easy…

An international research team has tested a floating PV system with a “softly connected” configuration under offshore conditions, with the help of six modular pontoons coupled by elastic rod elements to simulate moor lines and connections. August 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway have used a numerical model to assess the hydrodynamic response of a floating PV system prototype with soft connections for offshore conditions. “Every array consists of many standard floats, softly connected with the help of ropes to reduce fatigue problems,” said researcher Jian Dai PV -Magazine. “Different Arrays are electrically connected to…

By SB staff July 31, 2025 As part of the Columbia district ambitious PowerPath DC -InitiativeThe Public Service Commission has selected Ecosuity And Ecogy Energy To participate in a new pilot project aimed at unlocking the full potential of distributed energy sources (Ders) through advanced inverter and real -time grid interaction. Announced on July 30, the Solar Aggregation and Advanced Inverter Pilot Project will test how a series of Ders -including solar pv, battery storage, flexibility of the building load and EV -chargers -can be digitally aggregated and managed to reduce the capacity of the Sun hosting and the costs…
