Engie and Sungrow have connected the first 100 MW/400 MWh phase of the Vilvore battery project in Belgium, set at 200 MW/800 MWh by the end of 2025. October 2, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News Energy company Engie, in addition to Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) provider Sungrow, this week announced the successful commissioning of the first phase of the 200 MW/800 MWh Bess on the Vilvande site, in Belgium. Sungrow described the project as the largest of its kind on mainland Europe, because it announced that a first phase of 100 MW/400 MWh of the site was connected…
A research team established in Beijing has analyzed the risk on typhoons experienced by solar farms in the coastal areas of China. It turned out that 84% of photovoltaic expansion occurred in areas with a low risk of typhoons. October 2, 2025 Patrick Jowett About 16% of the photovoltaïschens used ChinaThe coastal areas of the coast are located in areas that are considered a high risk of typhoons, according to new research Led by a team of Beijing’s Chinese Academy of Sciences And the China Meteorological Administration. The scientists used Landsat images to analyze spatial changes in the distribution of…
By Brad Kramer September 15, 2025 Congratulations to my colleague RE+ survivors. It was a wild week of Solar and Storage -Glasses, and we will soon share our collection restaurants, but first we have a new series of projects every week to scream. Stop things is the largest battery energy system for batteries of batteries (BESS) of New England Online, developed by Plus Power and built by Burns & McDonnell. Plus, Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, the world’s first university for deaf and hard to hear, picking the benefits of one of the greatest microgrids in the city; Summit Ridge…

The US Dept. or Energy (Doe) on October 1 announced the termination From 321 financial prices to support 223 projects for a total of $ 7.56 billion. Doe said that it was certain “the energy needs of the nation did not promote sufficiently, was not economically viable and would not offer a positive return on investments of taxpayers dollars.” Russ Vought, director of the American Office of Management and Budget (OMB), said on x That the projects are in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington…
The well-known Delta 3-bearable power plant of Ecoflow has been renewed in North America, with a new branding for a wider range of options. October 2, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News Ecoflow has announced a new power plant under its Delta 3 Branding, with new products under the Delta 3 Max and Delta 3 Ultra Branding and the recurrence of the original model to the Delta 3 Classic. In total there are now five power stations available at Ecoflow in the range of Delta 3 with a higher capacity. A new aspect is also “plus” branding, where the name…
The Chinese Modulemaker said that the solar cell was developed with the support of the University of the Heei. The device uses a transport layer based on carbon nanobuis that can be used in topcon and HJT structures to stimulate the output and reduce complexity. October 2, 2025 Vincent Shaw The Chinese Hebei University and module manufacturer Das Solar have jointly developed a silicon solar cell with a new hole transport layer (HTL) that has been designed to simplify production and lower the costs. In this HTL, the researchers replaced the commonly used pedot with carbon nano bushes (CNT) combined…
By Brad Kramer September 16, 2025 It is no secret that the solar industry this year has confronted against a headwind in the midst of increasing rates and the roll -back of useful tax stimuli. However, professionals from the solar industry remain positive despite the difficulties. On Re+ 2025 last week, Solar Energy Industries Association (Seia) CEO Abigail Ross Hopper was on stage on Monday for the general session of the opening Sia’s challenging national anthem, “not to stop”, ” A clear signal for the more than 35,000 attendees that solar energy is not going anywhere. Hopper described 2025 as…
Scalable Lunar Power Study launched by Honda and Astrobotic Honda Motor Co. And Astrobotic Technology have concluded a joint development agreement to investigate scalable Lunar Power solutions that combine Honda’s Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC) system with Astrobotic’s Vertical Solar Array Technology (VSAT) and Lunagrid service. The collaboration is intended to deliver continuous and reliable power for extensive moon surface operations, especially during the two -week moon evening. The RFC system from Honda, a circulative cycle of renewable energy, uses solar energy and water to produce oxygen, hydrogen and electricity. During Monday, solar energy is stored as hydrogen, which turns the…
An Indian-British research team has developed a building-integrated linear concentrating PV façade by an asymmetrical composite parabolic concentrator, perc cells and encapsulation layers between two glass sheets in Sandwichen. The system was tested under both indoor and outdoor conditions and its payback time turned out to be a maximum of 11 years. October 2, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from India and the United Kingdom have developed a new smart solar facade with linear concentrating PV and PERC sun cells. “Our work introduces a linear concentrating photovoltaic (BilCPV) facade system that is easy to produce using extrusion and cheap optical materials,”…
