PXP Corp. And Suntory Holdings, both based in Japan, started testing the usability and performance of a vending machine equipped with pxp’s lightweight, glass -free solar panels in Sagamihara, Japan. July 30, 2025 Valerie Thompson The Japanese PXP Corp., a startup that develops the solar technologies of Chalcopyrite and Perovskite, and Suntory Holdings, a Japanese brewing company, has started a one -year trial period to investigate the performance and usability of a sales machine equipped with PXPs in Sagamiha. The project team will monitor the Suntory machine that is equipped with the glass-free, lightweight, thin film chalcopyrite (Cuinse2) panels supplied…

Portugal is planning to hold an energy storage auction before January 2026 as part of an initiative of € 400 million ($ 462.2 million) to improve the resilience of the net after a black -out in April. July 30, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina Image: Ministério do Ambiente E Energia / Ministry of Energy By ESS News Before January 2026, Portugal launches a competitive tender for 750 MVA in battery energy storage, as part of a wider package of € 400 million aimed at improving the reliability of the network and preventing future Black -Outs. The announcement was made by the…

Scientists in Japan have developed a model that predicts surplus PV generation and creates a route for optimized charging of vehicles of electric delivery. They defined their work as a “practical blueprint for logistics operators.” July 30, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Japanese Waseda University have developed a new model that optimizes the route of electric delivery vehicles (EDVs) to maximize the local PV surplus use. For this purpose, the Academics have designed a new electric vehicle routering problem (EVRP) that uses any forest realization model to predict where and when the surplus solar energy will be available in the…

AI accelerates material discovery for advanced perovskiet Sunnight Technology A collaboration team at Beijing University and the Shenzhen Graduate School has developed Machine Learning models that can quickly and accurately predict critical properties of Halide Perovskites – important materials in solar cells of the next generation. Their work is intended to streamline the search for optimum connections by concentrating on essential parameters such as guideline minimum (CBM), Valence Band Maximum (VBM) and BandGap energy. Halide -perovskites, with their ABX3 crystal structure, are promising materials because of their impressive photovoltaic performance, manufacturing bag and low costs. These materials are very adjustable,…

The Dutch specialty module manufacturer Mito Solar now offers PV modules in a wide range of colors for the hunting and mobility applications. The colors are made possible by a front incineration made from thermoplastic polyool fi n (TPO). July 30, 2025 Valerie Thompson Mito Solar, a modified PV module manufacturer, now offers custom-made colored solar panels for specialized applications, such as yachts and vehicles. The colored modules are made with the help of a colored front inhabiting of thermoplastic polyool fi n (TPO). A wide range of colors: blue, green, gray, gold and terracotta are available. “Our solar panels…

Aurora Solar says that most American homeowners are not aware of the urgency that was created by the One Big Beautiful Bill’s (OBBB) phasing out the 30% sunbathing credit, underline the need for installers to train consumers, reduce soft costs and give priority. July 30, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA One of the many changes in the OBBB is the early phasing of the 30% US Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which ends at the end of 2025 for residential solar energy. Aurora Solar, a software provider of the Solar Installer Workflow Management, investigated 1,000 people for their responses…

Lyten has collected another $ 200 million to accelerate his efforts to become a main player in Europe for his battery energy storage systems (BESS), after the earlier acquisition of a factory in Gdansk, Poland. July 30, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News The American battery manufacturer Lyten has collected more than $ 200 million in stock financing to support its expansion to European Bess. The company acquires the former energy storage product line of North Volt, including the Voltpack Mobile System (VMS), Voltrack and other assets, while increasing production in Poland and broadens its commercial outlook. The announcement follows…

Indian researchers have developed a technique-based technique to reduce current losses in PV systems that work under partial shade. They claim that the method increases the energy efficiency and generating income more than conventional reconfiguration techniques. July 30, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Puducherry Technological University in India have developed a new method to improve the power yield in PV -Arrays that work under partial shade. With the help of a Sudoku-like technology, the PV system was arranged in a nine by nine solar module configuration to increase the maximum harvested capacity under different shadow patterns. The layout is intended…

A design-building project conducted by students, which combines hands-on architectural education with sustainability, is completed by the University of Kansas School of Architecture. The project marks the 18th consecutive Leed-Platina-certified house completed through the Studio 804 program of the university and is the second supported by product donations of S-5! Credit: Gaffer Photography Studio 804 is a unique, hands-on design building program within the Master of Architecture curriculum of the University of Kansas. Founded by Dan Rockhill, in their last year, graduated students offers a compelling experience, which challenges them to design a fully realized building within nine months and…

Founder Jason Howlett tells the founder of Energy Storage Association (ESA) ESS News Learning lessons from other markets can ensure that Great Britain prevents levels of negative prices that are seen elsewhere, because the pace of the use of the British renewable energy sources is ready to rise. July 29, 2025 Matthew Lynas Image: Association of energy storage By ESS News Great -Britain must become ‘obsessed’ by energy storage or the pitfalls that are seen in other markets, according to a new British trade association for the sector. ESA CEO Jason Howlett told ESS News That the British market has…
