Non-profit Maintaining affordable homes (POAH) recently received the Green Light from Eversource to operate his newly installed 40.3-KW solar project on the roof in his family affordable housing in Bourne, Massachusetts. The Array was partially financed by one Gap Energy Grant From the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The GAP Energy Grant is an innovative and cost -effective financing model that supports clean energy projects to reduce energy consumption, save money and reduce greenhouse gases to reduce the effects of climate change. The solar system on the roof at High Meadow Townhomes was facilitated by Poah’s Partner Courts, Housing Assistance,…
Scientists used geographical information systems and analytical hierarchy process methods to identify the most suitable areas of Iran for PV water pump systems. They found 43.2% of the country unsuitable, with the province of Ardabil the most favorable. July 30, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the German RWTH Aachen University and Iran’s University of Tehran have proposed a new method to identify suitable locations for the implementation of PV water pump systems (PVWPS). The methodology uses a geographical information system (GIS) and an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and was demonstrated in the case of Iran. “Our study introduces a new…
Heliostat -Arays Eyed for asteroid detection during night hours A researcher at Sandia National Laboratories has presented an innovative new use for heliostats, the large mirrors that are usually used to concentrate sunlight on generating solar energy. John Sandusky believes that these mirrors can play a key role in detecting asteroids in the dark. “Heliostat fields don’t have a night job. They are just unused there,” said Sandusky. “The nation has the opportunity to give them a night job at relatively low costs for finding objects in the neighborhood of the earth.” The approach could improve early detection and response…
Comed and Prologis have announced a new 1.56 MW Community Solar project on the roof in Franklin Park, Illinois. It is the first in an 82-MW portfolio for Prologis in the State in the next two years. More than half of the energy credit of the portfolio will be aimed at income -qualified households, which means that access to clean energy in disadvantaged communities in the area of Chicago and then is expanded. “We are proud to participate in Comed to officially launch this project, the first of many community projects for the community that our energy team uses our…
Norway’s solar deployment speed delayed in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous two years, because the government introduced new regulations aimed at medium-sized commercial systems. July 30, 2025 Patrick Jowett Norway According to figures from the Norwegian Water stocks and Energy Directorate (NVE), 49 MW Zonne -Zonne energy installed during the first six months of 2025. The result is due to the deployment rate during the first six months of the two years earlier, which reached 79 MW in the first six months of 2024 and a record 145 MW in the first half of 2023.

A global scientific team has designed a new multigeneration system based on renewable energy and storage of liquid air energy and then used soft computing techniques to optimize their operation. The optimized livalized costs of hydrogen (LCOH) were $ 1.52/kg and $ 5.22/m³. July 30, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from the TOOSI University of Technology from Iran has proposed a new multi -owneration system that produces electricity, fresh water, hydrogen, heating, cooling and sodium hypochlorite. It is based on renewable energy with a LAES system (Liquid Air Energy Storage). “The most new aspect of the…

PXP Corp. And Suntory Holdings, both based in Japan, started testing the usability and performance of a vending machine equipped with pxp’s lightweight, glass -free solar panels in Sagamihara, Japan. July 30, 2025 Valerie Thompson The Japanese PXP Corp., a startup that develops the solar technologies of Chalcopyrite and Perovskite, and Suntory Holdings, a Japanese brewing company, has started a one -year trial period to investigate the performance and usability of a sales machine equipped with PXPs in Sagamiha. The project team will monitor the Suntory machine that is equipped with the glass-free, lightweight, thin film chalcopyrite (Cuinse2) panels supplied…
Portugal is planning to hold an energy storage auction before January 2026 as part of an initiative of € 400 million ($ 462.2 million) to improve the resilience of the net after a black -out in April. July 30, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina Image: Ministério do Ambiente E Energia / Ministry of Energy By ESS News Before January 2026, Portugal launches a competitive tender for 750 MVA in battery energy storage, as part of a wider package of € 400 million aimed at improving the reliability of the network and preventing future Black -Outs. The announcement was made by the…
Scientists in Japan have developed a model that predicts surplus PV generation and creates a route for optimized charging of vehicles of electric delivery. They defined their work as a “practical blueprint for logistics operators.” July 30, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Japanese Waseda University have developed a new model that optimizes the route of electric delivery vehicles (EDVs) to maximize the local PV surplus use. For this purpose, the Academics have designed a new electric vehicle routering problem (EVRP) that uses any forest realization model to predict where and when the surplus solar energy will be available in the…
