From PV Magazine 8/25 The American solar industry has thrive on an abundance of flat, dry land, where at least civil work was needed. But in Southeast Asia, land is limited and often uneven. Developers are routinely forced to choose between expensive assessment or continue as things are and accept a lower energy production per hectare. Without a deep understanding of these challenges, even well -financed projects can be delayed, derailed or ultimately not being able to deliver to deliver their expected value. Areas near volcanoes are particularly challenging. A site that we supported in Southeast Asia had a very…
The Japanese company said that the first pilot projects are being carried out in the metropolitan area of Tokyo with the support of the Japanese oil giant Eenos. September 10, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pump Image: Panasonic The Japanese electronics manufacturer Panasonic announced that it is currently a new energy management system (EMS) that helps to increase the self-consumption of the residential PV by combining solar power generation with heat pumps and batteries. The first pilot projects are carried out in the Tokyo metropolitan area with the support of the Japanese oil giant Eenos. Panasonic implements his Hems/BEGS…
Sungrow has introduced a modular inverter of 4.8 MW and new utility scale and commercial storage systems at the RE+ Trade Show in Las Vegas. The products include advanced grid formation options and efficiency improvements. September 10, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Sungrow has Introduced are SG4800UD-MV-us modular inverter intended for solar installations in North America. The 4.8 MW converter has both grid-forming and off-grid sunscreen capacities. Sungrow said that the inverter combines the benefits of both central and string-ominers and offers 800 kW per unit with a flexible design intended to support a reduced balance of system…
The semi-transparent solar concentrator of the research team can be covered directly with standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect circularly polarized sunlight and lead to solar cells installed to the edge of a window. A prototype of 1 inch diameter was found able to immediately feed a 10 MW fan under sunlight. September 10, 2025 Patrick Jowett A research team established on Chinese Nanjing University has developed a transparent, colorless and unidirectional solar center plant that is compatible with existing windows. Solar concentrators are designed to converge solar energy to the side of architectural glass. Handy…
Enphase Energy has revealed its new one today IQ Bidirectional EV -charger Architecture for vehicle-to-home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capacity. The charger connects with the Direct Current (DC) port of the electric vehicle (EV) and has homeowners charge their EV, drive their home during malfunctions and share energy with the grid -all managed via the Enphase app. The IQ Bidirectional EV charger only needs to be linked to the IQ meter collar for a simple, powerful configuration that delivers back -up and grid services for home. The system is designed to be cost -effective, easy to install and to be…
A team of researchers has developed a domain adjustment framework that is able to transfer knowledge of solar energy plants with abundant data to plants that must be trained without labeled data. The framework has been tested on three solar energy sites in Germany and turned out to be better performing than reference models. September 10, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from German Constructor University have developed a new non -controlled domain adjustment framework for predictions for solar energy. Their technology learns transferable functions of one tanning factory with abundant data and transfers this knowledge to another solar energy plant where…
Research that a sunboom farm simulates in a coastal forest in South Korea, it turned out that sunboom structures could preserve 99% of the forest covering compared to a fixed solar farm built in the same area without sacrificing the power. September 9, 2025 Lior Kahana A researcher from the Korea Maritime Institute in South Korea has discovered that Sun trees have the potential to generate the same power of a sun farm and at the same time reduce the loss of forest covering to 99%. In the newspaper “Superior energy output from Zonnebreen compared to flat fixed panels in…
The new products are available in nine versions with the power of power ranging from 620 W to 660 W and the efficiency of the power conversion from 23.0% to 24.4%. The Canadian solar sun said that the panels have a carbon footprint of 285 kg CO₂eq/kW, allegedly one of the lowest of all silicone-based solar modules worldwide. September 9, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Canadian Zonne-Zonne-Zonne-Sonne-Sonne-Sonne-Sonne-Solar has presented a new heterojunction Solar Module series for use in Utility-Scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) applications. “The low-carbon modules reach a leading carbon footprint of only 285 kg CO₂eq/KW, one of the…
Canada is on its way to implement more solar energy in 2025 than in 2024, according to the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (Canrea), with installations behind the meter with a particularly active year to date. September 9, 2025 Patrick Jowett Behind the meter of solar installations, consisting of residential systems that generate electricity for direct use, have an active year in Canada, according to Phil Mckay, senior technical and utilities at Canrea. Told McKay PV -Magazine That Canada appears on schedule to exceed the 314 MW of Solar Energy that was deployed last year. “I think we will be about…
The Italy fire brigade has introduced binding guidelines for PV systems up to 1500 V, where rules for storage, distance, compartmentalization and maintenance are added. September 9, 2025 Lara Morandotti and Sergio Matalucci By PV Magazine Italy The Italian national fire brigade has published new Fire prevention guidelines for PV systems. The provisions contribute to fire safety requirements for solar panels, expanding technical measures per installation type and the introduction of rules for storage systems, minimum distances, compartmentalization and compulsory maintenance. The guidelines apply to PV systems with a nominal voltage of less than 1500 V on residential, industrial, commercial…
