A community solar project in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Credit: New Energy Equity On August 4, the Minnesota Court of Appeals confirmed the pronunciation of the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) 2024 to change the credit rates of the Bill rates with retroactive effect on Community Solar Gardens (CSGS). The Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MNSEIA) said that the relocation undermines the payment paid to subscribers and is a violation of legal limits, contract law and reasonable expectations of developers. The new opinion requires that all CSG subscribers receive the Applicable Retail Rate (ARR) as their community solarecredit to go to…

Several states have made decisions about community kisses this month. Here is such an installation of Summit Ridge Energy. Commerce reveals Prelim anti -dumping rates for Chinese battery ano materialWashington, DC The trade department revealed its provisional anti -dumping rates in the business in which battery ano material from China was involved. Almost every significant battery exporter to the United States, including Canadian Zonne -Zon, LG Energy Solution, Panasonic, SAFT, Samsung and Tesla, received an AD speed of 93.5%. New AD/CVD research launched on solar panels from India, Indonesia and LaosWashington, DC The Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade…

Wood Mackenzie has released a new report that looks at the effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1) on the American residential solar market. The analysis group finds that the removal of the sec. 25D ITC will hinder the short -term growth, but the long term potentially remains strong. The growth is expected to return after 2028. Credit: Dennis Schroeder/NREL The latest insight from Wood Mackenzie, “Short-term challenges but in the long term potential: evaluation of the American residential solar addressable market”Notes that HR1 could downgrade the residential solar capacity by no less than 46% to 2030 compared…

Tempestuous trade conditions and policy uncertainty have led to price price fragmentation in the United States. Prior to an expected reduction in the use of production capacity, the leading manufacturers in China produced a large volume of cells in the spring. OPIS editor Hanwei Wu explains the latest market developments. August 4, 2025 Opis From PV Magazine 6/25 – The hunt for high efficiency Increasingly anticipated trade relationships have led to a variety of price spreads in important markets. Compared to free on board (FOB) China Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (Topcon) modules, according to the OPIS analysis, a premium of…

Scientists simulated different storage systems for liquid air energy, whereby the efficiency of the return between configurations with liquid natural gas (LNG), solar and stirling engines and further optimized performance is compared with the help of particle canopy methods. August 4, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from China has investigated the integration of the Stirling Engine, LNG and Zonne energy in a LAES system for storing Liquid Air Energy). With the help of Aspen Hysys and Matlab, the group have modeled and optimized different combinations of those components. “A Laes system with 3 compressors and 3…

Cosmic Shield Breakthrough can extend the lifespan of the room solar cells A new radiation -resistant coating developed at the University of Surrey can considerably improve the sustainability of the next generation of perovskite solar cells in space. The innovation promises to make satellite solar panels lighter, more efficient and less more expensive than traditional alternatives. Engineers from Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute, in collaboration with Oxford University, the University of New South Wales and various South Korean institutions, have created a protective layer with propane-1.3-Diammonium Jodide (PDAI2). This thin film protects perovskite solar cells from demolition in the space environment,…
