Scientists in Iran have developed a new framework to optimize the capacity of PV and battery storage in smart houses, using a two -stage stochastic programming model. They considered the uncertainties in the grid, the market price and the PV output, while they also looked at various business cases. July 4, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Babol Noshirvani University of Technology have developed a new framework for optimizing the capacity of PV and battery storage in Smart Homes (SHS). The new technology uses a two-stage stochamatic programming model, which is responsible for uncertainties in the grid, market prize and…

By Brad Kramer July 3, 2025 Two days after the Senate had adopted the so-called ‘one big beautiful bill’, the House of Representatives completed the bill for reconciliation budget that the solar industry of favorable tax credits has been determined by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The house approved the bill 218-214, with a mood that was almost completely past party lines. All Republicans except two Republicans voted for the Megabrings, with representatives Thomas Massie van Kentucky and Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania to vote with Democrats to vote against the measure. President Donald Trump had imposed a deadline of July…

British renewable energy sources reached financial closure on 12 project Solar Portfolio with three co-location-battery energy storage system (BESS) assets. The GBP 345 million financial package comprises 536 MW PV capacity and 146 MWh Bess. July 4, 2025 Matthew Lynas British Solar Renewables has guaranteed the financial closure of 12 solar stands, three of which have batteries storage in the field of batteries Image: British Solar Renewables British Solar Renewables has secured GBP 345 million ($ 471 million) in financing for 12 solar projects and three co-locate battery activa. A spokesperson for the company told PV -Magazine The portfolio comprises…

Chinese 3D print system uses lunar bottom to construct habitats A groundbreaking 3D printing technology developed by Chinese researchers makes creating moon structures possible with only the soil collected directly from the moon, which eliminates the need to transport building materials from the earth. Engineers of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory in Hefei, the province of Anhui, have built a working prototype of a Lunar Regolith 3D printer. According to senior engineer Yang Honglun, the device uses a reflective concentrator and fiber-optical transmission system to concentrate solar energy on temperatures that are sufficient to melt lunar land for construction. “This…

Turkey installed approximately 2.8 GW PV capacity in the first five months of 2025, according to data from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. “The real -installed capacity for this year so far, however, is around 2.6 GW, because 0.2 GW is represented by PV systems installed in previous years that were not registered correctly,” said Yusuf Bahadir Turhan, president of Turkish NGO Solar3GW, said PV -Magazine. “This is due to missing data from grid operators of organized industrial zones, because they are not as disciplined as conventional grid operators in Turkey.” Turhan said that of the 2.6 GW…

The site received permission in July 2024. Image: Low carbon. EDF Power Solutions has announced today (July 3) that it has taken over a large solar development of Low Carbon. The Gate Burton Energy Park is a 500 MW solar PV energy center that is currently under development. Due to its size, the project is classified as a nationally important infrastructure project (NSIP); In July 2024 it received approval of the planning as part of the NSIP approval of Energie -Secretary Ed Miliband in the days after his appointment. The site also contains a co-location storage system for battery energy…

A Swiss research team has developed a new glowing process with one step for the passivating contact cells of tunneloxide-passivation sun cells. By demonstrating the approach, the scientists built a proof-of-concept Topcon device with an efficiency of 21%. July 2, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Entronique et de MicroTechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a new single-step thermal glow process for tunneloxide-passioning contact (Topcon) solar cells. The new process is intended to simplify the glowing process, which is currently implemented by the PV industry via a two-step technique and to reduce the…

The European Commission has launched the hydrogen mechanism to support the matching supply and demand based on its energy and raw material platform, while the US Senate has advanced a budget law to extend the deadline for 45V tax credits for hydrogen production until the end of 2027. July 3, 2025 Sergio Matalucci The European Commission has launched the hydrogen mechanism, the first such program under the EU energy and raw material platform that is in operation. The hydrogen mechanism enables stakeholders to register for the first round of corresponding supply and demandwhat is planned before September 2025. “The hydrogen…

Deye has developed a new power conversion system (PCS) for solar integration, with modules ranging from 100 kW to 125 kW. The Chinese manufacturer says that the PCs supports flexible system design and focuses on commercial and industrial (C&I) applications. July 3, 2025 Lior Kahana The PCs + BOS-B Image: Deye China’s Deye has launched a new PC that is integrated with an energy storage system for C&I applications. The PCS + BOS-B system is optimized for solar integration. Deye said that the system supports up to 200 kW of solar modules via eight maximum power point tracking (MPPT) channels,…

Michael Shanks MP answers questions at the Clean Power 2030 tops. Image: Solar Media. “We have been paying the price for our exposure to gas for far too long, and we have to do what we can do to remove that volatility, and this sprint at our own power is part of that,” said Michael Shanks MP, parliamentary under-secretary of State, State for Energy, who has organized the Solar Media, organized by Solar Media. Many of Sank’s comments were aimed at the financial robustness of the British solar industry. Since solar energy is one of the leaders in falling level…
