The Virtual Power Plant (VPP) market grew rapidly in the past year and reached 37.5 GW of the flexible capacity behind the meter, according to a new report from Wood Mackenzie. The report, “2025 Mark report Noord -Armika Virtual Power Plant Market”Believes that the VPP market was broadened more than deeper, with the number of corporate intensions, unique off -takers and market and utility programs, it applied more than 33%, while the total capacity grew a more modest 13.7%. “Utility program caps, reforms of capacity accreditation and market barriers have prevented capacity from growing so fast as market activity,” said…
Polycab has launched its UT series 350 kW three-phase string-inverter for solar projects on Utility scale in the South India. The series offers 15/12 Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPTs) and supports bifacial 182 mm/210 mm modules with a maximum of 15 a/20 A DC -ingangarial current per string. September 17, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Polycab has launched its UT series 350 kW three-phase string-omsorter for solar projects on Utility scale in Tamil Nadu, India. The series offers 15/12 MPPTs and supports bifacial 182 mm/210 mm modules with a maximum of 15 a/20 A DC -gang current per…
Developer Aumera has received the planning permission of the City of York Council for a large Bess project, which said that the urgent need for the technology outweighs the damage it will cause to the green belt of the city. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project was approved by the council earlier this week (September 15). The decision relates to a field adjacent to a farm on the green belt of the city and takes care of the installation of the Bess and the associated infrastructure, including a high -voltage station, inverters, switch devices, screens, CCTV, landscape architecture and…
The India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is planning to add solar waffles to the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM) from 1 June 2028, for which the government needed projects to use waffles, cells and modules of registered suppliers. September 17, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India The mnre of India has suggested, including solar waffles under the Almm in a movement aimed at promoting domestic production in the entire value chain of solar cells. The Almm for solar waffles is in force from 1 June 2028. The Almm mechanism was originally introduced by Mnre…
Choosing the right solar company: why it matters If you are staring at your rising energy bills and asking if Solar is finally worth it, you are not the only one. Thousands of homeowners in Colorado make the switch every year. The challenge does not determine whether Solar Smart IS is finding out which company you can actually trust. With dozens of installers who promise the ‘best deal’, the search can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks how to identify the right solar partner, which separates really top installers from the rest and why going locally often offers the best value.…
Research in China has tried to assess how lateral vibrations in diamond wire saw can increase the notch losses in the production of solar wires and have developed a predictive model than allegedly helps to reduce them. Their analysis showed that, with constant saw parameters, smaller waffles suffer from a larger surplus core loss. September 17, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Chinese Shandong University have proposed a new methodology for the quantitative prediction of surplus core loss caused by lateral vibrations of diamond wires cut in the production of solar wanders. Kerf is the crystalline material that is wasted when…
New research drives perovskiet solar cells into real-world applications Perovskites, a family of materials defined by their crystal structure instead of basic composition, are on the rise as a cheap, efficient and adaptable alternative to silicon in solar energy. NAM-GYU Park, a pioneer in the field that developed the first working Perovskite solar cell, is now working to bring technology closer to the willingness to market by improving sustainability and scalability. The breakthroughs of Park include improving crystal quality and preventing breakdown caused by moisture, heat and light. Laboratory cells now reach conversion -efficiency of around 27 percent, an increase…
Scientists in China have investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a new modular floating photovoltaic system. They did this with the help of a new hybrid approach, which integrates fish choice power effects of computational liquid dynamics into a potential movement solver. They analyzed the new system with different numbers of panels, either in a single chain or a parallel configuration. September 17, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group of the Chinese Dalian University of Technology has investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a new modular floating photovoltaic (FPV) system consisting of interconnected floating units with articulated joints. For the research, the…
I may be old school, but I can find out how I can make a poison. I am still quite old-school when it comes to reporting about a trade fairs-I wear my little notebook and write insights into pen. I reach the last page of the notebook I have worn since my first Solar Power International with Solar Power World10 years ago back. I had a breakfast meeting with LG and then learned about flexible thin film by Miasole-Been companies are now bankrupt, but the memories are still there! The notebook has come in handy if I discuss all the…
Indianapolis established Bila Solar has secured a 10-MW solar panel order from a community-zonne developer to Safe-Harborbor prior to the federal deadline for projects that are eligible for important tax stimuli. The product, Bila Solar’s 550 W Dual-Glass Series, with solar cells manufactured by the US, will be delivered at the end of the year. This timeline underlines the ability of the company to perform on compressed schemes and strengthens its role as a trusted American production partner for developers who navigate by navigating shifting policy and market needs. To meet the rising demand, De Bila Solar scales its American…
