The PV device is based on an indium gallion phosphid -absorber with an energy band gap of 1.9 EV. It is intended for use in Autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) applications that work indoors without an external wired food. July 17, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee (Fraunhofer Isee) in Germany have developed an indoor Gallium Indium phosphid (GAINP) that achieved a power conversion efficiency of more than 40%. Gainp is an III-V semiconductor material that is often used in powerful and high-frequency electronics because of the higher electron speed compared to silicon…

Scientists in Morocco have developed a method that uses the metadata of the infrared images of PV plants to label them geographically. The automatic database can then be used in in -depth learning models and the time required for data labeling is considerably shortened. July 17, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of researchers from Morocco has developed a new technique for geo-label solar modules in large-scale parks. It uses infrared (IR) images of unmanned aircraft (UAVs) as inputs, using adaptive threshold, peripheral and photogrammetric data to segment and locate solar panels without manual annotation. In addition, the automatically labeled data…

Enphase Energy today announced the first shipments of the IQ battery 5P from production facilities in the United States with higher domestic content than previous models. The higher batteries for domestic content comply with the new requirement in the American federal budget legislation, signed on 4 July 2025, which from June 16, 2025 with retroactive effect forces a 45% US-Sourced material threshold for solar and battery products. In order to remain eligible for important federal tax stimuli, products must meet this threshold, which will increase to 50% in 2026 and 55% in 2027, where it will remain in force at…

The newest Sinovoltaics Solar Supply Chain Report on PV production in India indicates the module capacity of 68.4 GW, cell capacity at 24.5 GW and INGOTS on 14 GW, with constant growth planned until 2030. July 17, 2025 Valerie Thompson The updated Solar Supply Chain card from India Published by Sinovoltaics, an international operational quality assurance company with headquarters in Hong Kong, indicates the module capacity of 68.4 GW, cell capacity on 24.56 GW and INGOTS on 14 GW. 171 Solar PV factory sites were mapped in the new India Solar Supply Chain Map for 2025That information contains about the…

A new tool for maps of solar energy in the Philippines shows that the solar capacity of the country on the roof is more than 1.8 GW. The makers say that the platform can be used to follow non -registered solar cloth capacity. July 17, 2025 Patrick Jowett A new tool for the maps of Zonne -Mapping has calculated that the Philippines have more than 1.8 GW of solar capacity on the roof. The Estimation of the solar energy of capacities and tracking using Machine Learning (Spectrum) Tool, developed by the Quezon City established Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities…

Cero Generation and Enso Energy connected the first solar-plus storage facility last year in the UK Transmission Network when they started (depicted) with the 49.5 MW/99MWH BESS facility with the 70 MW Larks Green Solar Plant. Image: Enso -Energy / Cero generation. Cero Generation and Enso Energy have together achieved financial closure on a 360 MW Zonne-Plus storage portfolio of projects in the UK. The portfolio consists of three projects for solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS), one of which is the 115 MW Co-located Bramley Project, located in the southern English Graafschap Hampshire. This project is the first…

The government company Clean Energy Company Great British Energy has awarded mayor authorities a total of £ 10 million in subsidy finance for clean energy for community services. According to the government, the regulations funded by GB Energy can lead to a total of around £ 35 million in savings on energy bills. Due to the subsidies, Zonne -PV on the roof will be installed on buildings such as libraries and care homes in the…

The first energy storage of Argentina drew 1,347 GW of bids from 15 companies propose 27 projects that exceed the objective of 500 MW and represent more than $ 1 billion in dedicated investments. July 17, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina Image: Maurício Guardiano, Unsplash By ESS News This week, the Argentinian government opened the bids for its Almagba -on -Committee process. The international tender, announced for the first time in February, intended to secure 500 MW of energy storage capacity For critical points in the Grid of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Amba). In a strong tones of interest, 15 companies…

The prices of PV modules have fallen by approximately 5% to 8% in all technological classes in recent weeks. says Martin Schachinger, the founder of PVXCHANGE.COM. This means that prices are going strongly to the level that we have seen at the beginning of the year, which can only be described as unhealthy for module producers. July 17, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com By PV Magazine Germany Although the Modulemarkt in June only showed marginal, non -ambitious movement, a clearer trend now takes shape. The prices started to fall after a short stabilization phase – falling by approximately 5% to 8%…

The top court of Germany has ruled that operators of distribution network projects may have to pay of battery storage projects to pay grid connection costs, whereby the costs are mentioned fairly, because they help prevent overbuilding and protection consumers of surplus system costs. July 16, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By ESS News The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) of Germany in Karlsruhe has confirmed the legality of grid connection payments for battery storage systems. This decision of the cartel -Saat was already expected after oral arguments that were heard a few weeks ago. The Karlsruhe judges ruled that the Federal…
