Last week the government published the final details of the upcoming allocation round for the UK Renewables auction.Allocation Round 7 (AR7) of the Contracts For Difference (CFD) scheme will run with the largest budget ever and 20-year contracts, an increase from the previous 15-year offers.The administrative exercise prices for each technology have been determined and are given in 2024 Currency – Insulting Rounds were in the prizes of 2012.For solar energy, the exercise price is £ 75/m in particular the administrative exercise price is the maximum that the government is willing to pay, not the amount it will certainly do.In…

For years, the market for energy storage in the United States existed for speculation. There was a lot of discussion about the ability of technology to improve the electric grid, but very little continuation. The mood began to shift in the 2020s. Every quarter has a new record -breaking storage installation. Storage on grid scale becomes larger and safer and battery energy storage systems (BESS) find houses throughout the country. While one big beautiful Bill Act (HR1) inscentes for renewable energy insisted, energy storage was created intact. Storage still has access to the Full Investment Tax Credit (ITC) up to…

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (Kist) have used a dielectric additive in organic photovoltaic manufacture to produce uniform films in environmental humidity between 10% and 70%. The researchers said the approach improves process stability for organic solar cells. July 28, 2025 Patrick Jowett Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Have a new dielectric additive based coating technology developed for organic photovoltaic. The team discovered that their adaptation makes it possible for organic photovoltaisches to be reliably manufactured, regardless of changes in the seasonal feelings, causing the sensitivity to the humidity that is traditionally…

The US Department of Energy has awarded $ 4.1 million to Inpyte Energy to use batteries on a microgrid in a Microgrid in Northern California. July 28, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA The specialist of the specialist of IJzersodium batteries Systyte Energy has obtained a subsidy of $ 4.1 million from the Office of Electricity of the US Department of Energy to use a grid scale battery in a fire-sensitive region in Northern California. The funds come from the Critical Facility Energy Resilience program of the department. The resilience-oriented installation offers power sources for a critical evacuation zone,…

Researchers have designed a new multilevel-invertertopology with nine switches based on several levels. They tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-run tests. Efficiency achieved up to 96.5%. July 28, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists from India has developed a new single-source Casantor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The new SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional H-Bridge-Omsterer, and according to the team this improves both technical and financial benefits. “The most important goal is to create a new design with one phases that uses a connected condenser technique, which can include the current toad guide a small number…

By SB staff July 28, 2025 As the queues of interconnection extend, Nexamp Takes it in its own hands with a “self -performance” approach that improves the viability of the project and speeds up the development time lines. This self-performance practice, still relatively rare in the United States, enables developers to do certain work on the Side utility, including the purchase of equipment and the change / upgrading of grid infrastructure. By doing this, developers such as Nexamp can release months from the implementation time lines while facilitating the workload on the exchange tools. “Self-performance enables us to take much…

LG Energy Solution announced on its Q2 2025 profit call That it would increase its annual production capacity in his battery installation in Holland, Michigan because of the market demand. Lges opened earlier this summer Michigan LFP battery cell/module production site and was expected to expect a capacity of 16 GWH in the factory that was previously ready to make batteries for electric vehicles. The company said on the profit call that it will now reach 17 GWH by the end of the year and then 30 GWH towards the end of the year 2026. The company expects a delay…

Solar modules are getting bigger, thinner and more powerful. But from Texas to Thailand the same problem appears: broken glass. Not from hail or wrong then, but from cracks that spider of frame edges, splinter near clamps and web about modules. In cases seen by Jörg Althaus, director of Engineering and Quality Assurance at Clean Energy Associates (CEA), it starts with a few panels – then dozens, hundreds, even thousands. July 28, 2025 PV -Magazine From PV Magazine 6/25 Clean Energy Associates has investigated glass fractions on solar sites on the utility scale on three continents. It has discovered that…

A 1.2 MW roof Solar installation in Portsmouth International Port has reduced the electricity spending of the port by £ 138,058 in the last 12 months.According to the port, the last part of the project was completed in July 2023, where an improved connection with the National schedule could realize the “full potential of the 1.2 MWP solar system”.The 2,200 PV panels cover all available roof space on the terminals of the harbor and a canopy over the Car Lans. On sunny days, the port can run full off-grid and the installation met 21% of the electricity story of the…

Scientists in Hungary have built an experimental rig that a 60 W polycrystalline uses 152 holes that have been drilled in its frame for air cooling, as well as copper alloy pipes with high conductivity and fins placed on his back for water cooling. July 28, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Science and the University of Kufa in Iraq have developed a new Dual-PV module cooling technique based on water and air. For air cooling makes the use of a perforated frame and a fan; While it uses pyramid-shaped fins and a serpentine…
