BMW and E.on say that they have launched the first solution for the first commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) of Germany, giving EV owners access to the network, while they have no influence on the battery life. September 11, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By PV Magazine Germany Three years ago, the German Nut E.ON and car manufacturer BMW engaged private households to test a bidirectional charging solution. Now, at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Munich, they have revealed what they describe as the first commercial V2G solution in Germany. With bidirectional charging, the BMW IX3 electric car becomes an active part of…

Worldwide hydrogen investment is $ 110 billion, an increase of $ 35 billion compared to last year, with a total dedicated capacity of more than 6 million tonnes (Metpa) per year (MTPA), says the Hydrogen Council. September 11, 2025 Patrick Jowett According to the Hydrogen Council, the global hydrogen industry has surpassed $ 110 billion in investments. The figure marks an increase of $ 35 billion compared to last year. Since 2020, the global hydrogen sector has on average a growth rate of 50% on an annual basis in dedicated investments. The inaugural ‘of the council’Worldwide hydrogen compass”Report identified 510…

Halfway through the three-year research program, the Pearl Consortium of European Research Institutes has surpassed 21% efficiency on its flexible perovskite solar cells with bendable substrates and has demonstrated scalable roll-to-roll processes. September 11, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research program -financed by EU consisting of ten European research organizations has manufactured a flexible perovskite solar cell on bendable substrates with an efficiency of 21.6%. The Pearl-Flexible Perovskite solar cells with carbon electrode program is now more than halfway through its three-year research period, because it works on a target of 25% efficient, cheap flexible perovskite solar cells with carbon electrodes.…

Spencer Thompson, CEO of Eclipse Power, discusses the need for further competition in the transmission network and how successfully innovates the grid depends on recognizing the problem -solving role of independent network innovators.The British electricity transmission network has a problem. Started in the 1920s, extensively in the 1950s, and designed for an era of coal -fired power, today’s grid tries to serve the electricity requirements of the 21st century with Fundamentals that date from the coal age.But the coal force has disappeared, renewable energy sources bloom and the electrification of heat and transport remains Apace. As the nation strives to…

New research from Europe shows that the global PV industry needs to 14,000 tons of silver per year in 2030, with the global delivery only 34,000 tons. The scientists said that more efforts must be made to reduce the silver content in Solar Cellen from Topcon and hetero junction. September 11, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Ghent University in Belgium and the ENGIE Laborelec unit of the French energy giant have investigated how much silver could be needed by the PV industry in 2030 and have discovered that silver shortages can become more often. “Our work emphasizes the role of…

FranklinWh has launched the Home Battery of the Apower, Meter Adapter Controller (Mac) and Ahub extension as part of its latest additions to the FranklinWH system. “Homeowners are looking for energy solutions that can take on more and more complex challenges,” said Gary Lam, CEO of FranklinWH. “That is exactly what we take with our latest innovations. Participants in the show will witness how these innovations at home define energy systems again.” The Apower S Battery offers 15 kWh usable capacity, with a transit warranty of 15 years or 60 MWh. The Mac makes simple system interconnection possible by connecting…

August’s news offered a revealing snapshot of where carbon markets and sustainability finance are headed. Below, we unpack the five developments that matter most, why they matter, and how to translate them into immediate, defensible action for your company. 1) Standard Chartered bets on Jurisdictional Forest Credits Standard Chartered inked an exclusive five-year agreement to sell jurisdictional forest credits from the Brazilian state of Acre. The program is expected to generate up to 5 million credits in 2026 (potentially $150M in value), with 72% of net proceeds designated for local and Indigenous communities. The bank emphasizes this is not a…

New research from Hungary shows that Sarahan substance events can reduce the PV power output in five Mediterranean countries by an average of 25-40%. The scientists emphasized the need for recording real-time dust monitoring and cloud interactions in predicting solar energy. September 9, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the Hungary’s their-Ring Center for Astronomy and Earth Sciences have the impact of Saharan Dust Storm events on PV current generation in Portugal, Spain, Spain, France, Italy and Greece and have discovered that these events can reduce the electricity yield up to 50%. The research team in particular analyzed the effects of…
