PV Hardware USAA Solar Tracking and Foundation Solutions provider has opened his second American production facility in Houston. The facility of 95,000 m² expands the American footprint of PVH USA and creates more than 100 jobs in the local community. The new facility officially started in July. It agrees with the first $ 30 million American production facility of $ 30 million, which was opened in Houston in May 2024 as one of America’s largest production facilities for Zonnettracker. “Opening our second US Manufacturing Facility is an exciting step forward in our growth series and shows our dedication to the…

Amite Solar in Louisiana. Credit: Nextera Energy A review by the Sun Day campaign of Data that have just been released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) It appears that the combination of solar and wind was good for 91% of the new American electric-generating capacity that was added in the first half of 2025. Only in June Zonne -Energie offered 82% of the new capacity, making it the 22nd consecutive month in which Solar held the lead among all energy sources. Solar was 82% of the new generating capacity in June and 75% in the first half of…

NEXTRacker has introduced NX Powermerge, a 2 kV Trunk-Connector-based EBOS solution for solar projects on Utility scale, designed to lower connection points, simplify layouts and lower project costs. September 5, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Nexpracker from the Zonne-Tracker has released NX Powermerge, a Trunk-Connector-based electric balance of systems (EBOs) solution for solar projects on Utility scale. The NX Powermerge is designed to meet the requirements of contemporary high -voltage arroys with high density. It provides a 2 kV-ready solution for PV-string-to-trunk bus connections. It houses 400 A or larger ampacity, supports a maximum of eight tap threads…

Longi is said to have acquired an interest in Suzhou Jingkong Energy, which indicates a strategic push in energy storage in the midst of rising profit pressure and increased competition in the sun sector. September 5, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News Longi Green Energy, the largest vertically integrated solar manufacturer in China, is linked to a fast pivot in the battery storage market. According to Chinese media reports, the company has taken an interest in Suzhou-based energy storage systems Integrator Suzhou Jingkong Energy Technology and it is also in conversation to acquire a second storage company. The reports -…

Scientists from Spain have developed an electrolumines method for daylight that uses other strings to supply electricity to the inspected string. It was simulated and then tested in two PV plants of 50 MW. Comparative assessment against Lab electruminuminia resulted in acceptable diagnostic performance. September 5, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team at the Spain’s University of Valladolid has created a new self-powered daylight electroluminescence (Del) for PV system inspections. DEL usually requires power sources such as generators or bidirectional inverters to inject power during a string inspection. However, the new methodology is self-laid out by using other PV strings…

Chili has emerged as a world leader in hybrid systems and independent energy storage since the implementation of his renewable energy storage and electromobility law in 2022. Ensure that projects are paid for injecting electricity into the grid during peak periods has supported growth and ambitious battery -tonger -storage -storage -storage system has now been tasted in the battery -tonger -tonger storage -storage -storage -storage -storage system. September 4, 2025 Luis Ini By ESS News The implementation of solar and energy storage is booming in Chile, stimulated by the supporting government policy that has been considerably stable for 15 years.…

Scientists from Japan, Saudi Arabia and the United States have investigated existing contact perovskiet solar cell architectures and have proposed a strategy to reach commercial production. September 4, 2025 Emiliano Bellini An international research team has an extensive assessment of all types of solar cells (BC) of the back contact carried out in an attempt to speed up their commercial development. The scientists grouped the cell types on the basis of designs, cargo transport mechanisms, manufacturing strategies and emerging challenges and created two main categories of Dimitated Rugcontact (IBC) and quasi-interested back contact (QIBC) devices. They emphasized that the rear…

Reactivate, an InensEnergy Company, American Farmland Trust (AFT) and Nobles Renewables Community Solar have announced their newly formed partnership, Farmers who feed communities (FPC)To bring solar projects on a community scale to American farmers and rural communities. The mission of FPC is to connect those who work to feed the planet with those who feed America, using the development of solar energy to maximize the benefits for farmers, cattle farmers and rural communities. Led by three organizations that approach clean energy from different perspectives, FPC wants to deliver tangible benefits to Americans, their local communities and their country: Protection of…

Nex tracker has launched its patented NX Powermerge Trunk Connector, designed a DC current component to streamline the electric balance of systems (EBOs). This marks the first addition to the EBOS platform of Nexpracker since the company’s Bentek’s takeover this year. Credit: Nexpracker “We are pleased to introduce NX Powermerge to promote the electrical architecture of solar energy plants,” said SHUGAR, founder and CEO of Nextracker. “Customers will appreciate faster and more flexible construction, more reliability and coordination with the characteristics of a modern grid. This is the kind of very scalable technology that can help solar energy to continue…

The Council of Goods and Services of India has reduced the rate on solar cells and modules from 12% to 5%, with effect from 22 September, aimed at reducing costs and stimulating the domestic production of solar energy. September 4, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India The GST -Council of India has reduced the GST percentage on solar cells – assembled in modules – from 12% to 5%, with effect from 22 September. The tax reduction is expected to make solar cells and modules more affordable, so that greater acceptance of solar energy systems in residential, commercial and industrial…
