Organic radical breakthrough can cause a revolution in the efficiency of solar energy In a historical discovery, researchers from the University of Cambridge have identified a new way for organic molecules to harvest and generate electricity – possibly define the materials used in the next generation of sun technology. The study shows that a specially designed organic semiconductor, known as P3TTM, can replicate a physical phenomenon that was previously only observed in inorganic metal oxides. This finding unites principles of both organic chemistry and condensed matter and offers a simpler, lighter and more affordable route to solar energy generation. P3TTM…
SMA -Zonnet technology will reduce 350 positions worldwide as part of an extensive restructuring program to save costs and to regain competitiveness. October 6, 2025 Jochen Siemer By PV Magazine Germany SMA Solar Technology said it will reduce its workforce by 2026 with 300 positions in Germany and 50 abroad. The German inverter maker plans to expand his restructuring and transformation program, which started in September 2024 with annual savings of € 150 million ($ 175.14 million) to € 200 million. The company gave a “persistently weak” market to blame and the intense price pressure in the residential and commercial…
The Chinese manufacturer of the storage system said that his 12.8 V product was designed for RV travelers, off-grid homeowners and marine users. It is said that it offers more than 6,000 cycles at 90% depth.

The US Department of Energy has canceled $ 7.56 billion in financial prices for 223 energy projects in 16 historically by democratic guided states, with reference to insufficient documentation and failing economic and safety standards. October 6, 2025 Ryan Kennedy From PV Magazine USA The Ministry of Energie (DIY) announced the termination of 321 financial prices to support 223 energy projects, which resulted in “savings of around $ 7.56 billion dollars for US taxpayers,” the agency said in a press release. The terminated funds were issued on offices of demonstrations of clean energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy, grid implementation,…
On October 6, the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), Lawyers for Good Government and others has brought a lawsuit At the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island on behalf of the beneficiaries of the Solar For All program to restore the program that the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wanted to end in July. The claimants include the RHODE Island AFT CIO, an organization of trade unions that represents more than 80,000 people, solar energy companies, non-profit organizations and an individual homeowner who had registered for participation in the Georgia Bright-Zonnus launched last July. The Solar…
The Space Company Astrobotic, based in Pittsburgh and the North American subsidiary of Honda, are working on the integration of the vertical solar American technology of Astrobotic with the regenerative fuel cell system of Honda to develop a power and storage solution that is able to support long-term exploration. October 6, 2025 Patrick Jowett American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Astrobotic Technology, Inc. have concluded a joint development agreement to develop an integrated power solution for lunar surface missions. The two companies will carry out a joint feasibility study that investigates how astrobotic’s vertical solar -Array technology (VSAT) and Lunagrid…
According to data from the Chilean Association of Renewable Energy and Storage (ACERA), the share of non-conventional renewable energy in the Chile electricity grid increased to 39.5% of the total generation in August. October 6, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Enel Green Power Chile By ESS News According to new data from the Chilean Association of Renewable Energies and Storage (ACERA) for August, the Chilean schedule reached 18,759 MW installed renewable capacity. Of these, 11,276 MW came from photovoltaic systems, which represent 60.1% of the total. Storage systems linked to renewable projects and in independent mode reached 4,592 MWh. Acer reported…
All generation and energy storage facilities of 5 MW or larger in Romania will be needed to secure access to the grid through annual auctions from January 2026. The transmission and system operator of the country, Proverectrica, has published how it intends to implement the auctions. October 6, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Sarah Sheedy/Unsplash By ESS News The Transmission and System Operator of Romania (TSO), Truselectrica, has published an implementation procedure for assigning grid connection capacity in the coming auction-based grid connection mechanism of Romania. From the beginning of next year, all new generation and energy storage facilities of 5…
Self -regulating silver nanaries make circulatory -free smart windows possible A new Danish innovation can soon make “smart” windows that automatically manage heat and light – without electricity, wiring or electronics – a practical reality. Scientists from the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (Inano) of Aarhus University have created a transparent coating filled with silver nanning that dynamically adjusts how much solar heat passes through glass, while it remains clear. The nanoing act as microscopic antennas for near-infrared (NIR) radiation, which carries most of the warmth of the sun. When they are exposed to intense sunlight, they warm up through a thermoplasmic…
