Researchers in Canada have compared strawberry growth with uniform lighting of semi-transparent thin-film Cadmium Telluride panels and non-uniform lighting of semi-transparent crystalline silicon modules. Their analysis considered metrics such as fresh weight, height, leaf count, chlorophyl content, soil temperature and humidity. March 24, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Western University of Canada have compared the growth of strawberries under Agrivoltaic panels with uniform lighting and with non-uniform lighting. For uniform lighting they used semi-transparent thin film Cadmium Telluride (CD-TE), and for the non-uniform lighting they used semitransparant crystalline silicon (C-Si), with rows of solar cells and transparent sun class…

The newest auction in Greece has awarded subsidies to 188.9 MW self-employed, front-of-the-meter meter, storage on batteries on batteries on Utility scale. The auction was the third and final edition of a battery storage subsidy program that was launched in 2023, whereby the country is now focusing its focus on a new 4.7 GW UNSIBSIDized Bess schedule. March 24, 2025 Ilias Tsagas Image: Sandro González, Unsplash By ESS News The regulating authority of Greece for Energy, Waste and Water (Raaey) has published the results of the third auction in the country for independent storage systems for battery energy. The 200…

Researchers from the Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology from Thailand showed a new hydrogel that has a high cooling effect on Silicon PV panels. The lightweight technology reportedly makes a temperature drop of 23 ° C possible, from 70 to 47 ° C, and a relative increase of 12.3% power conversion efficiency. March 24, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (Vistec) in Thailand have shown a passive cooling material to tackle heat-related Silicon PV output losses. “We produced a passive cooling System Requiring Significantly Less Material But Producing Very High Cooling Capacity and…

APSYSTEMS announced that his DS3 and QT2 series Micro -Omsmenters now entail A standard guarantee of 25 years In the US, this important upgrade expansion of the previous 10-year standard guarantee with an optional 15-year extension-the dedication of Apsystems of the APSYSTEMS for long-term product reliability and customer satisfaction. The new 25-year standard guarantee came in force on February 15, 2025, with all DS3 and QT2 micro-Omsorters. With this improvement, APSYSTEMS eliminates the need for customers to take extra steps to guarantee extensive coverage, so that all units are supported from the start by 25 years of extensive protection. “Our…

The Italian manufacturer said that its new heat pumps use R454B as a coolant and have the performance coefficient up to 3.35. March 24, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Italian heating and cooling specialist Thermocold has unveiled new air-water heat pumps for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The IMEX HP R454B uses R454B as a coolant that has a warming potential (GWP) of 466. “The units deliver up to 45 ° C and leave water behind at -15 ° C outside temperature and can produce hot water in the summer, whereby the water temperatures are reached up to 60 ° C at…

Chinese inverter and energy storage maker Sungrow invited 300 guests from 20 European countries to his ESS [energy storage system] Experience day event in Munich, Germany. Discussions aimed at energy storage, projects, market figures and the energy transition. The conclusion: more storage and grid expansion are needed. March 24, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News Clear blue skies, spring-like temperatures perfect for solar energy. There is only one thing that you should not miss: the possibility to use the electricity well – even if the grid cannot absorb it. That is why Sungrow invited more than 300 participants from more…

Key Properties has completed its first solar project in collaboration with Give energy. The 110-KW solar installation on the roof at the extra space storage building of Key Properties in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, is designed to compensate for 100% of the building’s electricity consumption. “Solar was a natural choice for us to lower operating costs,” said Adam Schlussel, VP with important properties. “Thanks to our partnership with application energy, we have reduced our electricity costs from 17 cents to less than 1 cent per kWh and we benefit from a recurring income flow through stimuli. For us it is…

This week, women in Solar Europe (WISEU) give a voice to Josef Kastner, the CEO of Austria -based Nexun. He says that professional decisions should be based on skills, not on gender. “Social expectations influence leadership styles, but honesty is non-conservable. Everyone deserves the same rights and opportunities,” he explains. March 21, 2025 Women in Solar Europe (Wisu) The solar industry is at a crucial moment, but gender parity remains elusive. More women must become members of industry and strive for leadership roles, while men in leadership have to actively recruit and promote women. Bias, both consciously and unconsciously, influences…

Solmicrogrid announced the completion of a Microgrid project at a Chick-Fil-A Quarry Creek in Oceanside, California. Solmicrogrid usually uses a combination of solar storage on solar energy, on-site battery energy and generators to enable reliable and continuous capacity for its customers. The project in this Restaurant Chick-Fil-A comprises an 81-KWh battery energy storage system and has a 112 kW of solar panels consisting of awning and modules mounted on the ground. The components of the project are all governed by an advanced energy management system that optimizes performance and maximizes the synergies between the technologies. Due to the unique, sloping…
