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…

The Austrian Startup Podero has launched software to enable utilities to roll out new residential services through the operating and trade solutions of the home energy device. July 31, 2025 Valerie Thompson PODO, an Austrian software company, offers utilities the possibility to send residential solaries, batteries, air conditioners and heat pump use, together with other home systems, and to walk the aggregated device taxes. “The majority of our customers are involved in generating solar energy. Our platform is fundamentally built to enable users to maximize the value of their energy activa, making it a natural fit for anyone with a…
Developer of energy storage project Esvolta has brought three battery energy storage projects based in Texas online online. Together the portfolio will supply almost 1 GWH of energy and 490 MW peak power – about 4% of the expected 12.2 GW storage capacity of Ercot from July 2025. The 200-MWH Burksol Energy storage project under construction in West-Texas. Credit: Esvolta The 300-MWH Desert Willow project and the 480-MWH Anole project, both named Nomes that are native to the area, have started supplying energy to the grid to support Dallas. In March 2025 the 200-MWH Burksol facility commercial activities in West-Texas,…

Loss of performance due to Ultraviolet (UV) Light has become a concern for new PV cells, although previous laboratory tests may have overestimated the problem. Paul Bhardt, photovoltaic module Reliability scientist at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), outlines a mechanism that may have distorted earlier results. July 31, 2025 Mark Hutchins Can you provide some background information about recent concerns about the industry around Ultraviolet-induced demolition in PV modules? Since about two and a half years we have been involved in various projects where larger module buyers different modulette types against each other benchmarking in terms of reliability.…
Researchers in China have made a data set of different PV errors and normalized these to meet different array sizes and typologies. After testing the new approach in combination with the 1D-CNN Machine Learning technology under different circumstances, they found an accuracy of more than 99%. July 31, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Chinese Shandong University have developed a new method for error diagnosis in PV arroys, using function engineering and one-dimensional conventional neural networks (1D-CNN). The novelty of the technology lies in the step of the Engineering function, which normalizes raw inputs and makes it independent of the size…
