Researchers have designed a new multilevel-invertertopology with nine switches based on several levels. They tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-run tests. Efficiency achieved up to 96.5%. July 28, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists from India has developed a new single-source Casantor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The new SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional H-Bridge-Omsterer, and according to the team this improves both technical and financial benefits. “The most important goal is to create a new design with one phases that uses a connected condenser technique, which can include the current toad guide a small number…

By SB staff July 28, 2025 As the queues of interconnection extend, Nexamp Takes it in its own hands with a “self -performance” approach that improves the viability of the project and speeds up the development time lines. This self-performance practice, still relatively rare in the United States, enables developers to do certain work on the Side utility, including the purchase of equipment and the change / upgrading of grid infrastructure. By doing this, developers such as Nexamp can release months from the implementation time lines while facilitating the workload on the exchange tools. “Self-performance enables us to take much…

LG Energy Solution announced on its Q2 2025 profit call That it would increase its annual production capacity in his battery installation in Holland, Michigan because of the market demand. Lges opened earlier this summer Michigan LFP battery cell/module production site and was expected to expect a capacity of 16 GWH in the factory that was previously ready to make batteries for electric vehicles. The company said on the profit call that it will now reach 17 GWH by the end of the year and then 30 GWH towards the end of the year 2026. The company expects a delay…

Solar modules are getting bigger, thinner and more powerful. But from Texas to Thailand the same problem appears: broken glass. Not from hail or wrong then, but from cracks that spider of frame edges, splinter near clamps and web about modules. In cases seen by Jörg Althaus, director of Engineering and Quality Assurance at Clean Energy Associates (CEA), it starts with a few panels – then dozens, hundreds, even thousands. July 28, 2025 PV -Magazine From PV Magazine 6/25 Clean Energy Associates has investigated glass fractions on solar sites on the utility scale on three continents. It has discovered that…

A 1.2 MW roof Solar installation in Portsmouth International Port has reduced the electricity spending of the port by £ 138,058 in the last 12 months.According to the port, the last part of the project was completed in July 2023, where an improved connection with the National schedule could realize the “full potential of the 1.2 MWP solar system”.The 2,200 PV panels cover all available roof space on the terminals of the harbor and a canopy over the Car Lans. On sunny days, the port can run full off-grid and the installation met 21% of the electricity story of the…

Scientists in Hungary have built an experimental rig that a 60 W polycrystalline uses 152 holes that have been drilled in its frame for air cooling, as well as copper alloy pipes with high conductivity and fins placed on his back for water cooling. July 28, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Science and the University of Kufa in Iraq have developed a new Dual-PV module cooling technique based on water and air. For air cooling makes the use of a perforated frame and a fan; While it uses pyramid-shaped fins and a serpentine…

Perovskiet solar cell performance shows seasonal variation in long -term field test In a multi-year outdoor research, researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have discovered significant seasonal fluctuations in Perovskiet solar cells. Led on the roof of the Adlershof campus, the long-term experiment exposed different solar technologies to natural weather conditions, in particular aimed at perovskiet cells that are known for their high laboratory efficiency and low production costs. Dr. Carolin Ulbrich and Dr. Mark Khenkin have analyzed operational data for four years, which shows that perovskiet solar cells retain excellent efficiency in the summer, but experience remarkable falls in the…

In this contributed article, Mark Macaulay, partner, Adam Brown, counsel, and Roddy Cormack, senior employee, of the project team of law firm Dentons focuses on the market opportunities for pump supply hydropower.Inertia, an important but complex physical aspect of electricity systems, is the ability to rotate machines, traditionally through thermally driven turbines, to offer system stability by resisting sudden frequency changes.System frequency stability refers to maintaining the work frequency after disruptions between generation and load – such as peaks in the electricity demand or malfunctions. This is crucial for power delivery and preventing damage to equipment. Rasters that are fed…

In search of the ‘holy grail’ of decrease agreements as the use of solar energy and negative prices grow”The trend is clear: the sensitivity of projects for negative prices will rise,” says Stirling Habbitts, director of business development and director of hydrogen at Source Galileo, who moderate a discussion about the growing challenge of negative energy prices in European power. France, for example, registered zero or negative prices For the entire May.Habbitts added that this could become more of a challenge for the United Kingdom, taking into account recent changes to the Contracts For Difference (CFD) scheme.“Earlier, the CFD schedule…

Global investment firm KKR has promised Aud 500 million ($ 328.2 million) to work with Australian Renewables Company Cleanpeak Energy and support the growth of the distributed energy platform, aimed at solar energy, battery energy storage and Microgrid’s solution. July 28, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia US headquarters KKR has announced that the Aud will invest 500 million to support Cleanpeak Energy in growing and developing a pipeline of solar and front-with-meter solar, battery energy storage systems and microgrids for the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector of Australia. Cleanpeak was founded in 2017 and has established itself as…
