Renewsys will add eight new Encapsulant production lines in the recently commissioned in India, which increases the total production capacity of the Encapsulant to 30 GW over 19 lines. July 18, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Renewsys, an integrated manufacturer of PV modules and components, has unveiled plans to install eight new Encapsulant production lines in his recent factory in Khopoli, Maharashtra. The expansion will bring the total Encapsulant production capacity of the company up to 30 GW in 19 lines, which focuses on increasing demand in both Indian and global solar market. The company is currently operating…
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…
The discount schedule of British Columbia for heat pump installations now offers up to CAD 5,000 ($ 3,638) for the purchase and installation of an electric heat pump in suites in residential buildings with multiple units. July 17, 2025 Patrick Jowett British Columbia, the westernmost province of Canada, makes its discount schedule for heat pump installations available for apartment tenants and condo owners. The Better Homes Energy Savings Program Condo and Apartment Recently offers CAD 5,000 ($ 3,638) for the purchase and installation of powerful electric heat pumps in individual suites in residential buildings with multiple units. The first phase…
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…
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…
