From the floor of the Battery Business & Development Forum 2025, the first session provided insights into battery strategies in battery energy storage systems throughout Europe and the UK. July 16, 2025 Marian Willuhn Image: Marian Willuhn, PV -Magazine By ESS News The European battery storage sector is gaining strength, but the basic principles remain shaky. That was one of the messages from the opening session on the Battery Business & Development Forum in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The event was co -organized by PV -Magazine and ESS News, Solarpower Europe and Connexio PSE. More than 400 investors, developers and…

Scientists have developed a wireless charging system for electric vehicles, with a DC-DC converter with three gates in the core. They have simulated the system and tested a prototype in their lab and have discovered that it has achieved an improved efficiency of 88%. July 16, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists led by Indian SRM Institute of Science and Technology from India has developed a Wireless Charging System (WCS) for electric vehicles (EVs) that integrates the PV generation. In the core of the system, which was both simulated and experimentally tested in a laboratory, a DC-DC converter with…

As our cities grow and expand, a silent environmental issue spreads across our night skies. Urban light pollution—the excessive artificial light that brightens our cities—has increased at a rate of 2% per year globally. This means that for many urban dwellers, the sight of a star-filled sky has become a distant memory, with nearly 80% of North Americans now unable to see the Milky Way from their homes due to the perpetual glow of artificial lighting. Light pollution refers to the excessive or inappropriate use of outdoor artificial light that disrupts the natural darkness of night environments. This phenomenon manifests…

The publication of the National Energy System Operator (NESO) of the 2025 Future Energy Scenarios: Pathways to Net Zero shows an increased optimism in the energy transition -forecasts. The Future Energy Scenarios Document (FES) is the first to be published under Neso’s assignment as an independent body that supervises the entire energy system, but is the fifteenth report in its kind, previously carried out by National Grid Eso. Like last year, the FES gives an independent picture of ‘paths’ To follow the entire energy system to Net Zero. According to the preface of Neso’s strategy and policy director Claire Dykta,…

The Trump government, via the Handel, Bureau of Industry and Security department, and the Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security, has a sec. 232 Research into the polysilicon industry. The investigation was first launched on July 1, but only made public until July 14. Credit: Hemlock The government wants to determine the effects on the national security of the import of “Polysilicon and its derivatives”. Polysilicon is used in silicon solar panels and semiconductors. An investigation under sec. 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 enables the federal government to impose rates on imported products if they are…

In addition to large cuts on the incentives of renewable energy in HR1, house republicans work in the credit committee for any support for renewable energy sources in the 2026 Energy and water development and related agencies Financing account. The bill would reduce Energy’s Energy budget by $ 1.4 billion and reduce the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy programs almost in half to concentrate on technologies that “promote fixed baseload power”. The bill specifically requires no financing for R&D of solar and wind energy. According to House Credit Committee DemocratsThe bill would withdraw $ 5.1 billion in two…

Considered for industrial applications, the new heat pumps are reportedly supplying hot water at 65 ° C from -10 ° C to 35 ° C External air and hot water at 55 ° C to -20 ° C External air. Their performance companies reached up to 3.47. July 15, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Winpack Eco HT65 Heat Pump Image: RHOSS The Italian manufacturer of the RHOSS heat pump has launched a new reversible heat pump system for heating and cooling applications in commercial and industrial buildings. The company said that the WinPack ECO HT65 system is available in two models:…

To evaluate the outdoor performance and stability of Perovskiet sun cells using contactless and non-invasive methods, an Australian and Chinese research team found a way to use photoluminescence imaging and to show a proof of concept for implicit open-circuit voltage. Their research was based on cost -effective equipment that works under direct sunlight. July 15, 2025 Valerie Thompson In order to check and assess the stability and performance of Perovskite Solar Cells in a contactless way, a team, led by researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia, showed a solution that depends on photolumin measurements and…

NASA completes the installation of solar panel for Roman space telescope Technicians completed the installation of solar panels on NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on 14 and 16 June, so that one of the last phases of the observatory assembly was marked. The six panel system, known as the Solar Array Sun Shield, will protect both the spacecraft of feeding and its instruments against heat. “With the panels in place, the observatory is about 90% complete,” says Jack Marshall, who leads the effort of Solar Array Sun Shield in the Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA. “We just have…

Changes announced prior to the seventh contract for Difference (CFD) Allocation Round Round Round Breated as the key to achieving the clean energy goals of the government for 2030. Target company window for solar projects that are also extended pending projects for greater capacity. July 15, 2025 Matthew Lynas The British government will increase the duration of the new contract for Difference (CFD) from 15 to 20 years in its seventh allocation round (AR7), expected to open for applications in August 2025. Changes to the AR7 contract term will apply to successful offshore wind on solar energy, floating offshore wind…
