Researchers in Egypt have developed new control strategies for managing frequency fluctuations during the removal of a photovoltaic plant. The proposed methodology combines a proportional integrated controller together with a speed of change from frequency inverter. August 19, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by scientists at Cairo University in Egypt has developed a new control strategy for frequency levels during the removal of PV systems. “This article evaluates the performance of the conventional PV Deloaded System Controller and shows its limitations,” said the academic. “An important contribution to this study is the proposal of a blended controller that…
The Chinese manufacturer Huasun and the Italian developer New Time Plan to jointly develop a 1 GW heterojunction-perovskite tandem solar line in northern Italy at the third quarter of 2026, with public support and a focus on buildings-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) Applications. August 19, 2025 Vincent Shaw The Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun works together with the Italian specialist in the field of Bouw-Energy New Time to set up a 1 GW production line for heterojunction-perovskite tandem panels in Emilia-Romagna. The line is planned to start production in the third quarter of 2026 and will serve the growing BIPV portfolio of New…
The Superintendency of Electricity (SIE) has approved Resolution SIE-092-2025-LCE, which sets the technical and regulatory basis for a tender for a maximum of 600 MW new capacity for solar energy and wind generation. The generated electricity is purchased by distribution companies under dollar-and-connected, long-term agreements for power purchases, supported by end user payments. The resolution stipulates that the sites for renewable energy sources must contain battery energy systems (BESS) with a storage capacity of at least four hours. The Bess must offer frequency regulation, slope control, synthetic slowness and black starting capacity to strengthen the Seni. Source link
Researchers from the University of Münster have developed a mechanical recycling process for production scrap of the dry processing of lithium-ion batteries. The method works without solvents, retains material properties and makes it possible for the recycled cathode powder to be reused immediately in the production of electrodes. August 19, 2025 Tristan Rayner Image: Uni Münster, Michael Möller By ESS News A new process for recycling production scrap of the dry production of lithium-ion batteries is made in the Meet Battery Research Center of the University of Münster in Germany. With conventional battery production, active cathode materials are mixed in…
Indian entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath has invested in 1,375 billion ($ 15.8 million) in Goldi Solar in Gujarat to expand his PV module production. August 19, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath has invested in 1,375 billion in Goldi Solar, a PV module manufacturer based in Gujarat. The investment will enable Goldi Solar to expand production. Goldi Solar almost tripled its PV module capacity from 3 GW to 14.7 GW in the past 12 months and is now entering large-scale production of solar cells to serve domestic and export markets. “Renewable energy in India is…
American taxpayers spend over $80 billion annually to operate the nation’s correctional facilities, with energy costs alone accounting for nearly $2 billion of that budget. In North Carolina, the state spends approximately $60 million each year just to power its prison system. These staggering numbers are more than just operational expenses—they reflect missed opportunities for rehabilitation, job training, and community investment. The traditional approach to prison management has focused mainly on containment and security, overlooking innovative solutions that could reduce costs and create meaningful rehabilitation opportunities. Solar energy presents a solution that addresses both challenges: cutting operational expenses while providing…
The clean regulator of Australia (CER) has permanently suspended the registration of solar installation company Hello Solar and declares that it had given misleading answers on requests for information. August 19, 2025 David Carroll Image: PV Magazine Australia By PV Magazine Australia The CER of Australia has confirmed that it has permanently suspended the registration of the Victoria headquarters Hello Solar Solar under the Act Renewable Energy Electricity (REE), which means that it cannot create small-scale technology certificates (STCs). In a statement, De Cer said that Hello Solar had given misleading answers when he was asked to provide information, adding…
A Danish research group works on an automated material discovery and performance optimization platform for perovskiet solar cells. The scientists claim a unique combination of robotics, advanced measuring equipment and machine learning. August 19, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the University of southern Denmark are working on a new automated material discovery and optimization platform aimed at well-performing perovskite solar cells. The automated system is intended to accelerate the development of perovskiet devices by manufacturing, modeling, modeling and optimizing the conflicting thin film and cell materials. It will combine robotics, advanced measuring equipment and technologies for machine learning. Go further…
Equity Solar Illinois (ESI) has announced that it has ratified the first community of Illinois in the Equity category category. The 3.26 MWDC Cattail Solar Project in Fulton, Illinois, is an important step in promoting the participation of the state to renewable energy sources and expanding the workforce of clean energy. “We recognize education and access to opportunities are obstacles to participation in clean energy,” said Rena Henderson, ESI Principal. “We work to overcome those barriers and offer economic savings and development opportunities to the communities in which we are active.” Cattail Solar has 15 subscribers, consisting of Illinois cities…
