Briggs & Stratton And EG4 have set up a new working relationship. Briggs & Stratton Simpliphi 6.6 Batteries and PowerProtect -Standby generators are now integrating with EG4 -Omolers. “This partnership brings two strong entities together. EG4 is a recognized leader in the inverter market and Briggs & Stratton has been a leader in Power Solutions in a diverse set of markets for more than 117 years,” said Tom Rugg, SVP & President – Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions. “With this strategic partnership we can continue to offer more options for installers, including hybrid energy solutions with both batteries and generators.”…

Tongwei, GCL technology and Daqo New Energy all reported steep steep losses in the first half of 2025 on weak polys silicon prices, with rising N-type output and cost controls that do not compensate for the margin pressure. September 12, 2025 Vincent Shaw Tongue has reported the turnover of the first half of 2025 of CNY 40.51 billion ($ 5.57 billion), a decrease of 7.5% year on year, with a net loss of CNY of 4.96 billion, which became 58% larger. The gross margin in its solar industry fell to –4.7%, while the agricultural and cattle unit booked 9.7%. The…

The Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2), in collaboration with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), has released the Grid Ready Home Act, investigated legislation supported to help states to expand access to solar energy on the roof and to meet the growing demand for electricity. This model legislation offers policymakers a clear framework that streamlines interconnection and allows processes to reduce the project delays that increase the costs for companies and households. Credit: Werner Slocum/NREL “The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly, the costs are rising and at the same time more Americans want affordable, local solar and storage…

Utility and energy company EDF and developer PS Renewables have announced plans for a new solar project in Kent.The proposed South Brooks Solar Farm will, if approved, connect to the UK Electricity Grid at the Dungeness Understation. Although EDF renewable energy sources and PS renewable energy sources have not unveiled the exact capacity of the proposed PV energy plant of the sun, the companies have stated that it will have a capacity of more than 50 MW and will therefore be obliged to go through the planning request process of the British government). The developers have also stated that the…

The industry sector is the most challenging, due to high energy and raw material demand, large and continuous production factories, difficult to follow process emissions and infrastructure challenges. In the public discourse, hydrogen is prominently discussed for industry, but its role can be overestimated. Solar PV If the least source of costs of electricity, the electrification from the industry can bring to the next level. September 12, 2025 Lut University Electrons versus molecules in industry: important insights from a comparative study A public debate similar to the transport (battery of electric vehicles versus fuel cell electric vehicles) and heat sector…

Jetson said that his new heat pump system has a performance coefficient of up to 4.1 and an energy efficiency rating of a maximum of 11.7. The new product integrates air quality sensors, an energy monitor and a “smart” thermostat. September 11, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Canada-based manufacturer of heat pump manufacturer Jetson has unveiled a new residential heat pump that is reportedly offered 24/7 monitoring, real-time performance warnings, over-the-air updates and in-air quality sensor. “Most heat pump systems are still made nowadays and installed by companies rooted in gas equipment; they know hardware, no software,” said co-founder of the…

Scientists in Malaysia have conducted a techno-economic research research on a green tank system for a ferry that runs between islands in their home country. With the help of 40,000 solar panels they were able to feed two round trips a day. Annual CO₂ reduction was measured at 23.75 million kg. September 11, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from Universiti Malaysia Pahang al-Sultan Abdullah of Malaysia has simulated a techno-economic research study and carried out a system that uses a case Study, they have the 250-passenger spring that goes from Terengganu in Malaysia to Redang Island.…

I was not sure what I could expect in my many meetings with solar converter companies, from residential to utility scale, on RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas. I got away from the show and felt much more positive about the coming year than I thought I would be. A conversation with Wood Mackenzie analyst Joe Shangraw, who specializes in inverters and trackers, repeated the feelings that I belonged to many booth visits: the demand for inverters is now high if developers hurry to Safe-Harbor equipment before FEOC requirements kick in January. And Shangraw expects the strong demand of the Start-Construction…

Researchers have collected data from solar sensor-equipped vehicles, which mainly achieve more than a million km in the Benelux and the German region, in order to be able to make efficiency more accurately and to provide predictions. The research project is part of a continuous three -year European assessment of VIPV. September 11, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Isee) and three integrated PV (VIPV) manufacturer-Sono Solar (Previously Sono Motors), Lightyear-Laag and IM-Efficiency, both based in the Netherlands, collaborated in the Netherlands to measure the…

Chinese solar lighting company Intelamp set a new world record for the greatest representation of LEDs for solar energy with a series of 36.862 of its solar lamps in the Mingsha Mountain Dunes of West China. September 11, 2025 Patrick Jowett Intelamp from Shenzhen, a supplier of solar landscape lighting solutions, has established a Guinness World Record for the greatest representation of solar energy LEDs. The company has compiled a range of 36,862 Intelamp Zonnelampen to illuminate the Mingsha Mountain Dunes in Dunhuang, West-China, on 28 August. The display exceeded the previous records of 24,765 on solar energy in Japan…
