Brazilian scientists have investigated the potential of agrivoltaisies on sugar cane fields and have shown that this combination can offer benefits in terms of both agricultural and electricity yields. Their results showed that under certain circumstances the sugar cane yield under the panels can be higher than that of suddenly without PV. August 21, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A research team from the Federal University of Alagoas in Brazil has investigated how Agrivoltaic facilities can be integrated into sugar cane fields and has discovered that both the electric and agricultural yields of this combination benefit. “Our analysis showed that the yield…

Electoroute, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, will give the Nimbus Trade software from Arenko license to optimize and run its British Bess portfolio, because it works to expand to the British market.Electoroute, which was founded in the Republic of Ireland in 2011, announced it would work to grow his presence in Great -Britain in September Last year, with a focus on co-located solar and storage projects.

UK Energy Regulator ofgem has approved a change in the balancing and settlement code (BSC) that says it will unlock the larger amounts of domestic flexibility and the system can be balanced at lower costs.BSC P483 removes the requirement that customers take half an hour to arrange aggregators to trade their flexibility.The recent implementation of BSC P415 And P375, which means that independent aggregators can participate in the wholesale market and the balance mechanism on behalf of consumers, means that aggregators a virtual head party (VLP) or virtual trading party (VTP)-the flexibility of the Interior and small business customers cannot…

Today Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill that cleared the road for an extra 3,000 MWDC from Community -Zonne -Zon in New Jersey. S4530 / A5768 follow one Series record -breaking electricity capacity prices In the PJM region, which is predicted that they will constantly increase electricity accounts for families and small companies. In a state where the construction of new transmission is slowly, expensive and spatially limited, New Jersey has been mapped a smarter course by investing in distributed, local solutions that can now go to work. The movement also positions the situation to maximize the Buildout of Schone…

Solardaily Exclusive: A small contractor forces CPUC to blink at 150% storage rule On August 13 at exactly 16.38 hours, Southern California Edison (SCE) pressed an e -mail on an e -mail that landed as a hammerlag in the solar industry in California. The subject was clinical: “Suspension of the paired storage 150% rule proceeds on August 15, 2025.” The reality was much stricter: within 48 hours, contractors would be rejected again by an outdated CPUC regulation that limited storage capacity up to 150% of paired solar energy. The reaction was fast – but not from a large trade group…
