UK storage developer Rheenergise has completed ‘the most important mechanical works’ in the long-term hydro-energy storage system facility in Devon.The company described the Cornwood Research and Development (R&D) demonstrator, near Plymouth, as a “real-life test laboratory” for its technology, which combined long-term energy storage (LDES) and pumped hydro technology. After the completion of civil technical works in the facility earlier this year, the Cornwood factory now installed important components, including the most important turbine, pump and generators.The company’s hydro system uses ‘liquid R-19’ with high density, which is two and a half times closer than water. This high density means…

Scientists have used a dual-functional strategy for sharing material distribution with ethyl viologists Diiodide to achieve synergy performance improvement in PV-driven batteries. The system was reportedly able to provide a portable glucose monitor with electricity for 24 hours. September 2, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team at City University of Hong Kong has developed an integrated PV-driven battery (PVB) for portable electronics that can reach supposedly stable photo charging/discharge cycility. The scientists said they could overcome challenges in integration, miniaturization and flexibility in the design of the new device through a dual-functional strategy for sharing materials with the help of…

Great -Britain -roster bets on flight wheels to keep the lights on The energy operator of Great Britain gambles on an age-old technology to make its grid future-proof, because the power plants that have traditionally helped are closed and replaced by renewable energy systems. Spinning metal devices known as flywheels have been used for centuries to offer slowness – resistance to sudden changes in motion – to various machines, from a Potter’s wheel to the steam engine. Raster operators are now looking at the technology to add slowness to renewable heavy electricity systems to prevent blackouts such as those of…

Mission Solar will present new residential and commercial PV modules at the Re+ Trade Show in Las Vegas, including a panel of 435 W N-Type designed for projects on the roof. September 1, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA The Paneldraofs Solar, based in Texas, said the new products will reveal at the Re+ Trade Show from 8 to 11 September in Las Vegas, Nevada. The line-up comprises its 435 W N-Type 108HC, a solar module on the roof with 22.8% efficiency, a 30-year-old electricity guarantee and 6.2% domestic content. Mission Solar said the product meets important American sourcing…

The German grid connection requests for battery storage are more than 500 GW, a figure powered by a “first, first served” approval system instead of viable projects, according to Regelleistung-Online. September 2, 2025 Brian Publicover Image: Regelleistung-Online By ESS News When PV -Magazine In February, Germany’s electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) and three of its distribution system operators (DSOs) – more than more than more than more than more than more than 340 GW schedule connection requests from large -scale BessThere was a ‘battery tsunami’. The Regelleistung (Control Power) -Online platform now estimates the total number on 470.5 GW over…

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Germany developed a predictive model for light and raised temperature induced breakdown in Gallium -doped silicon waffle that includes the effects of temporary recovery. September 1, 2025 Valerie Thompson A team led by researchers from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Isee), based in Germany), has developed a parametric predictive model for light and raised temperature-induced demolition (Letid) in Gallium-moored silicon waffles about the temporary recovery effect. “We have specifically investigated the kinetics of temporary recovery in Gallium-doted silicon” PV -Magazinenotice that the group had earlier demonstrated and reported…

A study conducted by the German Development Agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with India-featured think tank The Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CTEP), it turned out that India has the potential for more than 300 GW of building-integrated photo-photovoltaic. Moreover, according to a report from the World Bank, 70% of the buildings that India must become a developed nation must still be built by 2047, which still underlines the enormous future potential for BIPV systems in the country. September 1, 2025 Mark Hutchins BIPV could help India to achieve a significant part of…

On Re+ 2025, SMA America announced that it will officially launch the new utility scale Sunny central storage UP-S. Visitors to Booth V9713 also get a first look at the new sunny HighPower storage, designed for flexible applications, together with three new additions to the commercial PV inverter setup. SMA to the attention of his repower services within the space on the utility scale and offers expert guidelines for asset owners who navigate aging equipment, policy landscapes and evolving market requirements. A new interactive digital experience at the stand will immerse visitors in the architecture of SMA’s Sunny Central Flex,…

The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) encourages the European Commission to include solar modules, mounting systems and solar rackers in the carbon border adaptation mechanism (CBAM). It says that the expansion would support the European solar market as Chinese manufacturers who export completed solar products to the EU are currently exempt from costs imposed under the policy. September 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Guillaume Périgois, Unsplash ESMC urges the European Commission to extend the carbon border adaptation mechanism (CBAM) into a key -off solar products. Feedback Of the Council published on the Commission website says the mechanism, A rate for…

French Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) Manufacturer Objectif Drone has developed a drone-based solar panel spray cleaning system for maintenance teams for the solar factory. It can be used on PV on the roof or on the ground mounted systems. September 1, 2025 Valerie Thompson French Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) Manufacturer Objectif Drone has developed a drone-based solar panel spray cleaning system for professional maintenance teams for the solar factory. Suitable for PV systems on the roof and on the ground, the Chronos model can reach heights of 50 meters. The company says that this model is known for its reliability…
