About a quarter of all new PV systems on the roof installed in Spain in 2024 include battery storage, which underlines the continuous growth of distributed energy, despite a decrease in the total installed storage capacity. July 4, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina By PV Magazine Spain The use of batteries for PV systems on the roof under the self-consumption regime of Spain decreased 34% years on year in 2024, with 327 MWh installed, according to data from the Spanish photovoltaic Union (UNEF), which warned of a “delay at the pace of the installation.” Despite the decrease, 26% of the new…
Once operational, the 12 projects were set up to generate 600 GWH of clean electricity each year. Image: BSR. Developer of Schone Energy British Solar Renewables (BSR) has protected a debt facility of £ 345 million for 609 MW of 12 solar and co-location projects for solar and battery energy storage system (Bessomer). Once operational, the 12 projects were set up to generate 600 GWH of clean electricity each year. This will support the push from the UK to its 2050 Net Zero -Zeurwit and tackle the constant concern about energy security. Michael Ozersky, Chief Investment Officer of BSR, noticed…
The future site of the meanwhile killed Middleton Farm Energy Storage Facility. Image: Qair. Green Switch Capital, part of the Qair Group, has announced that it has protected a building permit for the first independent Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project. The Middleton Farm Energy Storage Facility has a capacity of 49.9 MW and will be on about 1.3 hectares of land on Middleton Farm, near Potterdown, Aberdenshire. After an extensive planning process in which Green Switch Capital was supported by Locoge, AberDeenshire Council on 1 July approval for the project. To reduce the visual impact of the development, the…
This week, women in Solar+ Europe give a voice to Maria Ardila, building engineer in the UK, Sustainable Investments, based in the UK. She says that progress remains slow in the energy industry because gender vests are often seen as personal choices instead of the systemic problems they really are. “Until society challenges the outdated norms and organizational structures those mothers punish, meaningful progress to gender equality in leadership will be limited,” she says. July 4, 2025 Women in solar energy+ Europe As a relatively young sector, the solar industry becomes gradually more accessible to women, especially in comparison with…
Solarpower Europe has underlined the role of the manufacturers of domestic mounting systems in the stimulation of PV implementation throughout Europe, while calling for the approval of international customs codes, stricter quality standards and the inclusion of fixed tensile reporting systems in national resilience technology). July 4, 2025 Valerie Thompson The contribution of the European manufacturers of solar mounting systems and their technologies to the solar success of the region is the focus of a new report from SolarPower Europe. The “Have explained mounting structures of solar energy”Study, launched this week by the Industrial Association, also calls for various policy…
A gigantic solar-plus-van-from-from-offadium flow battery project in Xinjiang has completed the construction, so that a milestone is marked in China’s pursue of long-term energy storage on utilities. July 4, 2025 Vincent Shaw Image: Image: WeChat, Xinjiang Local Government By ESS News China has completed the most important construction work for the world’s largest Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) energy storage project. The project, supported by China Huaneng Group, has a 200 MW/1 GWH VRFB system combined with a 1 GW solar farm. With a total investment of CNY 3.8 billion ($ 520 million), the project comprises 1,870 hectare in the…
A router with Shelly Image: André BuhartThe F1ATB is based on three essential functions: power measurement for the input (and output) of the individual meter, data processing and control of devices that absorb surplus solar power. It is available in versions with one and three -phase. “In France, feed-in rates are less restrictive, but users pay almost € 0.25/kWh in Belgium, so this data is very interesting in itself,” said Buhart, who has developed different measuring methods, depending on the available equipment. Incoming cables, or interrogation of solar systems by connecting to inverters, such as those of the American manufacturer…
On 3 July, the House of Representatives approved the final version of a budget-killing law that is aimed at solar and wind energy in favor of fossil fuels. The bill now on the president’s office will put an end to the home credit for solar energy and add new component restrictions to large-scale projects that start construction after 2025. There will probably be a crazy dashboard for developers to start the construction of solar projects towards the end of the year to prevent the limitations of the supply chain. Read our Q&A with a Baker Tilly tax expert about the…
A team of British researchers is working on lightweight Cadmium Telluride (CDTE) solar devices for space arroys. The aim is to develop 20%-efficient ultra-thin devices to offer light, compact, cheaper solar energy for satellites and space-based production applications. July 4, 2025 Valerie Thompson A team of researchers from Swansea University and Loughborough University are working on lightweight Cadmium Telluride (CDTE) solar cell technology for space arrays. The aim is to develop 20%-efficient ultra-thin devices to offer lightweight, compact storage, cheap solar energy for satellites and spatial production applications. “We focus on an AM0 efficiency of 20% and a cell-specific capacity…
Envision recently completed a large-scale CSA C800 witness Burn test of its 5 MWH energy storage system, which demonstrates a robust thermal inclusion and adds to industrial safety efforts. July 4, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News China’s energy energy has successfully closed a large-scale burn test from its smart ESS system under the rigorous CSA C800 protocol. Led under the supervision of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), North American Fire Protection Engineers (FPE), its strategic client and CSA’s on-site observers, offered this test a Real-World Station scenario Na-with four 5 mWh cabinets that are loaded on not, tightly packed).…
