Credit: Primoris Renewable Energy A review by the Sun Day campaign of Data that have just been released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) It appears that the combination of solar energy and wind was good for more than 98% of the new American electric generation capacity that were added in January. Only on solar energy was good for more than two-thirds of the new capacity. Moreover, January was the seventeenth month in a row in which Solar was the largest source of new capacity. Renewable energy sources were 98.4% of the new generating capacity in January: In the…

The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology Iwu will present a new hydrogen microgrid platform at the end of March. The researchers say it can help to serve hospitals, remote rural areas and war -torn regions. March 21, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Reference Factory.h2 The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU is planning to present a hydrogen microgrid platform, Hygrid, at the upcoming Hanover Messe Trade Show. Fraunhofer researchers said that hydrogen microgrids arise as a feasible option for decentralized energy supply in Germany. They noted that hydrogen storage can contain large amounts of energy…

An Acciona Energía Solar Project. Basic Climate has announced the transfer of production tax credits (PTCs) about three transactions on behalf of the renewable energy developer Acciona Energía. The transferred credits were generated by Acciona Energías Fort Bend, Red-Tailed Hawk, Green Pastures I and Green Pastures II facilities in Texas. Fort Bend is a 240 MWAC Solar project, while the larger red -tailed hawk is a 350 MWAC Sun farm. Green meadows I and Green Pastures II, two wind farms with a combined capacity of 300 MWACwere taken over by Acciona in November 2024. These four projects, in addition to…

From PV Magazine 03/25 The second Trump government is a tough approach to policy reform, not least with energy. The American president has expressed support for an “all the above approach” while he slogan “Drill Baby, Drill” and calls the end of the “EV [electric vehicle] mandate.” Trump is clear about his preference for fossil fuels and aversion to wind energy and EVs. But where is he on solar energy? The unleashed American energy -Executive Order of the president released limitations on oil and rare earth -mineral extraction. The new administration has also tried to remove the exemptions from the…

Space Solar Teams with Magdrive to stimulate in-orbit solar energy systems Space Solar, a leading force in the field of space-based solar energy (SBSP), has formed a strategic alliance with British propulsion technology company Magdrive to use the use of large-scale infrastructure in a job to improve the earth. The agreement, unveiled during the Farnborough International Space Show (FISS), was formalized under the Space Propulsion and Infrastructure Innovation Initiative (SPI3), as a result of a joint push to realize space -driven clean energy. SPI3 is designed to achieve the long -term objective of the UK to produce scalable, sustainable energy…

The inverters use a silicon carbide metal-oxide-half conductor Veld-Effect Transistor for high power conversion capacity. March 21, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA SMA America announced that it has released the Sunny Central Storage Up-S, a raster scale battery inverter, now available in the United States. The inverter is designed for large-scale storage projects and has a silicon carbide metal-oxide-Half-Half-Half-Half-Half transistor transistor (SIC) MOSFET technology, of which the company said that the efficiency of high power conversion and scheduling options supports. The inverter supports a maximum of 4,600 kVA without a power driven at 95 degrees F. It has…

Researchers from the University of Sydney have suppressed Ionmigration on the B-site in Halide-Perovskites, reducing energy loss and improving the stability of solar cells and the reliability of performance. March 21, 2025 EV Foley Image: University of Sydney By PV Magazine Australia Researchers from the University of Sydney of the Schools of Physics, Aerospace and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, in collaboration with a metal matrix composite researcher of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, have suppressed Ionmigration in halid perovskites. Their studyPublished in Science is progressingclaims that changing specific atoms on the B-site in Halogenide Perovskites can improve their stability. The…

TEchnology Company Pale Blue Dawn became an integration partner for OpenSolar and connected the leading solar design, sales and management software with the various technology platforms used in the solar industry. The partnership goes for a crucial industrial challenge, with 50% of the solar contracts currently ending in cancellation due to fragmented workflows and communication breakdown. The patented Bridgit platform of Pale Blue Dawn makes a seamless data flow possible between OpenSolar and other essential tools, including CRMs, project management systems and financial platforms. “By connecting OpenSolar directly to the existing technical stack of a company, we eliminate the manual…

The Chinese National Energy Administration (NEA) says that the country has added 39.47 GW to new solar capacity in January and February, using the total installed PV capacity for 930 GW. March 21, 2025 Vincent Shaw China’s Nea said that the country added 39.47 GW to new solar capacity between January and February, an increase of 7.49% on an annual basis. By the end of February, the total power generation capacity of the country reached 3.4 TW, an increase of 14.5% compared to a year earlier. The solar capacity grew by 42.9% year after year to 930 GW, while wind…

The world needs a transition from sustainable energy. The combustion of fossil fuels – that is responsible 82 percent of the global energy supply – Releases 41 Gigatonnes greenhouse gas annually In the atmosphere. This must stop. A combination of renewable energy sources, storage activa, energy efficiency, admission and removal technologies and other sources, tools and strategies must be used worldwide, in response. Given the omnipresent roles that energy plays in global life – offering mobility, heating and cooling, lighting, communication, industrial and other services – it may not be surprising to hear that there is no answer. Instead, the…
