The US-based manufacturer of Silicon Solar PV technologies for space has announced a project that requires 1 kW of solar cells and modules in a new sun wing in a time period of four weeks in a new sun wing produces, collects and integrates. July 18, 2025 Valerie Thompson SolestialA lightweight manufacturer, radiation-hardened silicon PV products for space has received $ 1.2 million to finance the development of a new solar panel concept for small satellites with potential for multiple track use. The project includes the construction and testing of a complete sun wing, the further development of Solestial’s silicon…

The profession was granted after a five -day hearing. Image: Res. Evolution Power has successfully demonstrated the rejection of the planning state for a storage proposal in Solar Plus in North Hertfordshire. The Wandon End Solar Project combines 49.9 MW capacity for generating solar energy with a co-located battery Energy Storage System (Bess), the capacity of which has not yet revealed. Of the 49.9 MW of export and import capacity for which the project has been approved, 35 MW will be used to deliver the national electricity network, while the remaining capacity will be reserved for export to local electricity…

BBDF 2025s “From Solar to Bess: Switching from PV project development to Bess with and without CO location” has demonstrated the potential for creating new business modules in the renewable energy company via the so-called hybrid power agreements and the co-location of the Battery Acts. July 18, 2025 Emiliano Bellini By ESS News The last session of the Battery Business & Development Forum 2025, held this week in Frankfurt, Germany, showed the increasing interest in the European battery storage landscape in co-located projects. “About 80% of the market is dominated by independent systems. But this is expected to change in…

Scientists in China have simulated an advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage, to which they have added an elastic airbag with a heavy load above it. The energy, exergy and economic analysis of the system showed that the pressure level of the airbag is not attacked during the operation due to the constant weight of the heavy load. July 18, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group of Chinese Northeast Electric Power University has presented a new advanced adiabatic compressed Air Energy Storage (AA -CAES) system. The proposed system uses a heavy load, an elastic airbag and an abandoned vertical mine…

Nature has been perfecting solar energy collection for millions of years. Walk through any sunflower field on a summer day, and you’ll witness one of the most efficient energy-harvesting systems on Earth in action. Sunflowers turn their faces toward the sun throughout the day, maximizing energy absorption through a process called heliotropism. This natural phenomenon allows plants to capture up to 10% more sunlight compared to their stationary counterparts, giving them a big survival advantage. This elegant dance between plant and sun didn’t go unnoticed by solar engineers. The same principle that helps sunflowers thrive has now been adapted to…

The NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) has been released Q2 2025 edition of “The 50 States of Solar. “The quarterly series provides insights into the regulatory and legislative discussions and actions of the State and actions in the field of distributed sun policy, with a focus on net measurement, distributed solar valuation, interconnection rules, community sages, fixed costs, homes, financial stimuli and sunshine. The report shows that 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have undertaken a kind of distribution policy campaign during the Q2 2025 (see figure below), with the largest number of actions that…
