Arevon Energy recently celebrated the start of the construction of its Nighthawk Energy Storage project in Poway, California. The 300 MW/1,200 m project Arevon developed and will possess and operate the $ 600 million Nighthawk Energy Storage project. Rossendin With a California head office, the project is building on behalf of Auevon, which is expected to be employed by more than 130 employees during the height building. PG&E will be the offtaker of the project via a long -term PPA. Battery systems on batteries on utility scale can be stored electricity during low demand periods and then efficiently discharged into…

August 1, 2025 Uma Gupta Image: Where Energies, PV Magazine By PV Magazine India Where Energies has started production with the new production facility of 1.8 GW Solar module in India. The new facility in Chikhli, Gujarat, increases the total installed PV module production capacity from where to 16.8 GW per year. The company also has a 5.4 GW production line for solar cells and is expanding its electricity and upstream capacities aggressively. Towards the end of the Tax 2027, where Energies scales up to…
Australian Gas Light Co. (AGL) has reached a definitive investment decision about its 500 MW/2,000 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) in Australia. It has selected Fluence as the delivery partner of the project. August 1, 2025 EV Foley By PV Magazine Australia Energy Group AGL has reached a final investment decision on the 500 MW/2,000 MWh Tomago BessThat is approximately 20 km northwest of Newcastle, New South Wales. It has appointed Energy Storage Company Fluence to build the project. The construction of the Aud 800 million ($ 514 million) Battery Energy Storage System starts at the end of 2025.…
An international research team has tested a hybrid control technique that combines adapted Perturb and observes (APO) with model-predictive control to tackle complex partial shadow in solar arrays. The method, validated by simulation and physical experiments, reportedly performs better than existing approaches. August 1, 2025 Lior Kahana Research led by scientists from the Chinese University of Petroleum (East -China) has developed a new maximum Power Tracking (MPPT) technology for PV systems under complex partial shadow conditions. The new APO-MPC technology combines adapted PERTURB and observing with model predictive control. The team developed the approach in Matlab/Simulink and validated it through…
German researchers have assessed recent studies into hydrogen -related breakdown in silicon solar cells. They said that the work is at the right time, with the silicon of the N-type that dominates production and emerging antimony doping. August 1, 2025 Valerie Thompson Hydrogen can be beneficial for silicon zonnet technologies, bulk and surface defects passivate, or harmful, which contributes to degradation (Letid) and surface-related breakdown (SRD) induced by light and increased temperature. In order to promote a better understanding of recent research results on the use of hydrogen with silicon (SI) solar cells and the related degradation symptoms, researchers from…
Australia is on its way to exceed 2024 installation records for home batteries, whereby data from Sunwiz July indicates that up to 220,000 units can be used in the first year of the federal cheaper home batteries. August 1, 2025 EV Foley By PV Magazine Australia Australia is on its way to exceed 2024 installation records for home batteries, with July data from Solar Consultancy in Melbourne Solar Consultancy Sunwiz, indicating that a maximum of 220,000 systems can be installed in the first 12 months of the cheaper subsidy from the federal government. Sunwiz said that the potential process is…
Tesla has selected LG Energy Solution (Lges) to deliver lithium iron batteries (LFP) batteries for its American energy storage products in a deal that is said to be worth $ 4.3 billion, according to South Korean media. August 1, 2025 Tristan Rayner Image: PV Magazine, Eckhart Gouras By ESS News Because large players are increasingly investing in stationary energy storage to stabilize electric grids and support renewable integration, an important new deal will reform the supply chain. Tesla has reported LG Energy Solution (LGEs) for a huge range of batteries made by the US, which indicates a strategic push to…
Researchers in India have developed a cooling technology that uses calcium chloride for harvesting atmospheric water. The system is said to improve the PV module by a maximum of 18%. August 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from the PSG College of Technology of India have developed a passive cooling technology for solar module that uses a hygroscopic salt to harvest atmospheric water from the air. “The goal is to apply the water production technique of atmospheric air to cool the front of the panel,” Researcher R. Jegathishkumar told PV -Magazine. “Most cooling systems are designed to offer cooling at the…
Senators of Ohio State Mark Romanchuk (R-Constario) and Kent Smith (D-Euclid) have introduced SB 231Two-fitting legislation that would set up a community energy and pilot program, so that OHIO would create much-needed local energy to provide artificial intelligence, data centers and a revival of production in the state. SB 231’s Companion Bill, HB 303is currently in the Ohio House of Representatives, introduced by state representatives Jim Hoops (R-Napoleon) and Sharon Ray (R-Wadsworth). Community Energy includes Community -Zonne, so that everyone with an electricity bill can benefit from affordable, locally generated solar energy. Residents, companies and other subscribers can use the…
