Large -scale Solar Southern Europe Summit is back in September! The Renewable Energy sector of Southern Europe is evolving rapidly, with countries in the region drawing billions of investments and set ambitious implementation goals for projects on Nuts scale. The Balkans appear as a powerhouse for renewable energy, with the combined solar capacity of the region that is expected to reach 13 GW in 2026. In the meantime, Turkey positions itself as an important solar panel hub with 15 GW of new cell production capacity in development. As the adoption speeds up, energy storage is central as a crucial support…

A solar panel for a Virginia elementary school through Sun Tribe. On July 22, the Virginia State Corporation Commission denied the Coalition for Community Solar Access’ (CCSA) request for reconsideration and clarification of its recent statement that affects the shared solar energy in the field of Appalachian Power Company (APCO). The point is the “minimum account”-a mandatory costs that customers have to pay to participate in shared solar energy-this has made the economic value proposition untenable for customers, unless they are eligible as a low income and are exempt. Terwijl de wetgeving van 2024 de Commissie opdracht gaf om deze…

De Dept. Whether Energy (Doe) has announced that the LOAN Programs Office (LPO) has terminated its conditional obligation for the Grain Belt Express Phase 1 project, a high-voltage DC transmission line intended to connect wind and solar capacity in Kansas and Missouri. The conditional obligation, which would have provided a loan guarantee of a maximum of $ 4.9 billion dollars, was issued in November 2024 by the BIDEN administration. Doe said that it has determined the conditions that are needed to publish the guarantee, is unlikely and that it is not crucial for the federal government to play a role…

A partnership between PXP Inc and Tokyo Gas Co is working on developing film cells of the Filmtype Chalcopyrite for industrial roofs with a low tax capacity. Elsewhere, a coalition of partners inner windows with perovskiet solar cells in Tokyo’s Telecom Center building installs. July 23, 2025 Patrick Jowett A project between the Japanese Green Tech Startup PXP Inc and Tokyo Gas CO develops a film type Solar cell for installation on industrial roofs with a low tax -bearing capacity.

By contributing author July 23, 2025 Engineering Consultant explains how the OBBB has already influenced the development of solar project – and what steps developers can take to adapt By Mike Schutz | Renewable developers are confronted with a hard truth after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB): the federal policy now makes a difficult stop at the momentum built under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The window is now narrow for projects to receive tax credits, and it already reforms how teams approach the development strategy and resources. In the technical advisory world we see…

Bifacial Cuinse2 solar cells achieve record efficiency on transparent substrates The distribution of energy and environmental technology at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has developed a thin film solar cell of the next generation that can generate electricity from both sides. Spearhead led by main investigators Daehwan Kim and Shijoon Sung, the Team Smalle Band Gap Cuinse2 made up solar cells with the help of copper, indium and selenium on transparent electrodes substrates, which introduces a bifacial architecture that increases the energy yield. Bifacial solar cells are designed to harvest sunlight from both the front and…
