Scientists in the United States have created a test platform for energy shelter in solar-plus storage systems under extreme temperatures ranging from -180 C to 300 C. March 28, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from Purdue University in the United States has developed a test platform for solar-plus storage systems that work under extreme temperatures, within a range of -180 C to 300 C. As the first experiment with the platform, the scientists tested a PV system equipped with a lithium ion battery (LIB) in a temperature range of -105 C and 80 C. “The research…

The two accepted projects are located in Nottinghamshire and East Riding of Yorkshire. Image: Octopus energy. The planning inspection has accepted two PV factories on solar energy on Utility scale for research: German energy company RWEs 320 MW Peartree Hill Solar Farm in the East Riding of Yorkshire and PS Renewables and Ørsted’s 740mw in the Earthhamshire. Because of their generation capacity, both are considered nationally important infrastructure projects (NSIPs), which means that they have to look for a development assignment (DCO) before they start construction. After the factories have been investigated, the planning inspection will recommend to approve or…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. March 28, 2025 Opis China: The Chinese Modulemarker (CMM), the OPIS-Benchmark assessment for Topcon modules from China rose 1.14% to $ 0.089/W free on Board (FOB) China, with higher price indications between $ 0.085-0.093/W. FOB China Mono Perc module prices remained stable at $ 0.085/W FOB China with indications between $ 0.082-0.088/w. The Topcon module prices of China have expanded the profit for the fifth consecutive week, powered by a strong domestic demand prior…

Scientists in China designed a Subplhuer-based redox flow battery with a peak power density of 95.7 MW CM2 and an average energy efficiency of 76.5% at 30 MA CM2 within 50 cycles. March 28, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists led by the Chinese University of Wenzhou and the University of Guangxi have proposed a new approach to improve the performance of Redox-Flowbatteries (SIRFBs) based on polysulfide-Jodide. Redox -current batteries (RFBs) are a type of battery that stores energy in chemicals that undergo redox reactions. Redox stands for reduction oxidation, a chemical reaction in which one substance loses electrons…

By PV Magazine 04/25 On January 21, the Chinese National Energy Administration (NEA) revealed that the nation had added a record of 277 GW Zonne-Zon in 2024. This rose by 28% on the 216 GW 2023, which strengthened the global solar status of China. However, a dive into important data and current market trends reveals underlying care, in particular for 2025. Projections suggest a possible decrease in solar installations, especially in the small-scale, distributed solar segment. In 2022, distributed PV accounted for 58% of the total solar capacity of China. In China, most PV installations that are smaller than 6…

Allegro Energy has introduced the first micro-emulsion flow battery of Australia produced in the interior for long-term energy storage (LDES). The company will control technology with origin energy at the Power Station of Eraring. March 28, 2025 EV Foley By PV Magazine Australia Allegro Energy has introduced the first in Australia’s own country in the domestic microemulsieflow battery (MEFB) for LDES. The non-escape, scalable and cost-effective battery technology will debut in the erelter of the Erzeling of Origin Energy, which emphasizes the role of LDEs in Australia’s clean energy transfer. The CEO of Allegro Energy Thomas Nann said that the…

Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the New York Power Authority (NYPA) has acquired fully ownership of a 20-MW solar energy energy generation project in the city of Fort Edward in Washington County. The Somers Solar Project is the first to be taken over, owned and operated by the Power Authority under its extensive authority – signed by the Gouverneur in 2023 – and is the first of Nypa’s first tranche of projects emphasized in its strategic plan for renewable energy sources that was announced in the new yw. “With the acquisition of the Somers Solar Project, NYPA is taking…

The company for technical compliance and quality assurance has published a report describing the location and contact details of 128 transformer factories in China. The free publication is intended to help project developers to identify manufacturers in the light of worries about delivery delays. March 27, 2025 Valerie Thompson Sinovoltaics, Technical Compliance and Quality Assurance Services Headquarters in Hong Kong, has mapped the transformer production landscape in China. The study is aimed at Solar -PV factory developers, who offer Website and E mail addresses for 128 established and new bodber factories, It was created in response to worrying about the…

Study Links Solar Surge to evening price increases for fossil energy A new study in which the electricity markets in West -Australia are being investigated, shows that the rapid spread of solar installations on the roof can unintentionally increase the market power in fossil fuel producers during the evenings. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a dynamic model that includes the operational reality of fossil fuels, including fixed start -up costs and disaster restrictions, to better assess the effects of renewable energy sources on competitive behavior. Between 2014 and 2018, the solar capacity on the roof in Western Australia…

Borussia Dortmund, a German football team, works with Ja Solar and RWE to install a 4.2 MW solar system with battery storage in the stadium, which supplies 4 MWh for consumption on site. There is already a smaller PV installation on the stadium roof. March 27, 2025 Ralph Diermann By PV Magazine Germany Borussia Dortmund is, despite its middle ranking in the German Bundesliga Soccer League, planning to lead in sustainability by installing a 4.2 MW solar system in the stadium, supported by a battery storage system of 3.4 MWh. The club expects to complete the project towards the end…
