The PV sector of China was confronted with steep decreases in electricity output and margins in the first half of 2025, because oversupply and price decreases are weighed at manufacturers, according to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA). July 29, 2025 Vincent Shaw The PV industry of China achieved sharp decreases in electric production and profit margins in the first half of 2025, even when domestic installations reached record highs and new export markets were expanded, according to the CPIA. The sun sector fights with slower production growth, falling profit and increasing global competition – even because it breaks records…

Irish renewable energy sources DP Energy revealed plans for the Windy Plains Renewable Energy Park, a 1,400 MW Windpark CO location with a 500 MW/2,000 MWh Bess, in the state of Queensland, Australia. The exact location is approximately 40 km southeast of Julia Creek, in the distant inland, somewhat close to the Mount Isa Mount Stad. So far, few details about the battery storage approach have been given in documents. The project will use approximately 197 wind turbines, each assessed at around 7 MW, on largely flat terrain that yields optimum wind speeds and minimal proximity to neighboring homes. Generated…

Maximizing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is not just about having the right hardware – it is about implementing the right strategy. Lennard Wilkening, CEO and co-founder of the German Suena Energy, investigates what makes a stand-alone Bess profitable in an increasingly competitive and volatile market, and which Real-World benchmarks, such as Suena Energy’s monthly revenue, reveal about the role of dynamic multi-market. July 29, 2025 Lennard Wilkening By ESS News Although the case for batteries if flexibility status points is generally accepted, the path to profitability remains far from regulated. As more projects enter the pipeline, the competition becomes…

Lithuania Solitek has launched completely black 425 W bifacial solar modules with matte, satin textured glass for shine -sensitive locations such as airports, road barriers and buildings. July 29, 2025 Valerie Thompson Solitek, a Lithuanian solar modules and manufacturer of the battery solution, now offers completely black 425 W bifacial solar modules made with a satin structured, matte finish for shine -sensitive locations, such as airports, rabrières on the road and aesthetically demanding projects. The new bifacial models belong to the Solidline of the company products and are available in a framed version of 40 mm and 35 mm/glass/glass, a…

In this contributed blog, Andrew Gordon, director UK & Ireland at Power Management Solutions supplier Eaton, it argues that the British solar ambition will fall flat without flexibility.In his last Solar Power Strategy, The British government has made its ambition clear to generate a solar revolution on the roof. By speeding up the use of solar panels, the government is planning to lower emissions, lower energy bills and create jobs in the clean energy sector. An important part is the £ 13.2 billion Warm Homes Planwhich is expected to offer financial support for the installation of solar panels, heat pumps…

Traditional solar panels waste up to 80% of the sunlight that hits their surface, with most commercial panels achieving only 20-25% efficiency. This energy loss occurs because conventional flat panels can only capture direct sunlight from one angle, missing opportunities throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky. For homeowners seeking energy independence, this limits billions of kilowatt-hours of lost potential every single day. The problem runs deeper than efficiency numbers. Flat solar panels lose energy through multiple pathways: reflection bounces away over 30% of incident light from untreated surfaces, temperature increases cause voltage drops that reduce power…

Sun King has a deal of $ 156 million closed by Kenyan banks and international development financing institutions to extend Solar access in Kenya off-grid, to finance the purchase of approximately 1.4 million solar products and smartphones.

Sunotec says that the Sungrow Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Tech will implement in co-located solar projects in Bulgaria and a wider Europe. July 28, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News Sunotec has announced that it has signed a deal with Sungrow to use 2.4 GWH Bess in a series of co-led solar and independent energy storage projects in Bulgaria and “other” European markets. It marks the first use of Sungrow’s Bess technology In Bulgaria. The projects include independent and hybrid PV sites, with some supported by the national financing program of Bulgaria. Sungrow will deliver its Powertitan 2.0 Bess…

Researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have suggested combining the two high temperature steps that are used in producing tunnel oxide-passivated contact (topcon) solar cells in a single coanneel process. The first results show promising results in the drilling concentration, passion quality and contact resistance. July 29, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A research team led by the EPFL of Switzerland has tried to simplify the production of top con cells of the Topcon by combining the two required steps with high temperature-front-emitter formation and rear passivating contact manufacturing-in a single process. The first process consists of depositing a…
