A review by the Sun Day campaign of Data is released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) It appears that the combination of solar and wind was good for almost 96% of the new American electric-generating capacity that was added in the first third of 2025. In April, Solar offered 87% of the new capacity, making it the twentieth consecutive month in which Solar took the lead. Solar was 87% of the new generating capacity in April and 78% years to date: In the last monthly report “Energie -Infrastructure Update” (with data up to and including 30 April 2025),…
Michigan Republicans try to bring community kisses to the state with the help of a Bill acronym approved by Trump. Michigan Conservatives introduce Maga Solar BillLansing, Michigan A new bill for the Republicans in Michigan would set up a community assignment program in the State for the first time, with the help of a name that is attractive to the farthest rights of the party. The “Maximization of American Grid Affordability (MAGA) Solar Act” is “a policy that is designed to strengthen the reliability of the network, the energy bills and to protect American energy provision chains from foreign opponents…
Researchers in Italy tackle two metalhale-lide perovskiet solar PV challenges, reduce the use of lead and extend the stability of power conversion efficiency, in a new combination of micracular concentrators and picosecond laser operation. July 3, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the University of Genoa and the University of Rome Tor Vergata take two well-known metalhale-lide perovskiet (MHP) Solar PV challenges, reducing the amount of lead to maintain a high-level conversion efficiency. By introducing micro concentrators, an alternative strategy for light management and techniques for laser pattern, the research team is said to see positive results in devices with a…
AGência Nacional De Energia Elétrica (Aneel), the electricity regulator of Brazil, will publish initial regulations for energy storage in the second half of 2025, with two additional consultation phases that are concluded by 2028, according to rapporteur Daniel Danna. July 3, 2025 Lívia Neves By ESS News Aneel director Daniel Danna has told the Brazilian representatives of the representatives that the regulator will publish initial energy storage rules in the second half of 2025. The first standards will tackle rasters, network use and storage allowance, including income stacking. “The cycle in which we find ourselves is now involved in the…
Scientists in Switzerland have carried out a techno-economic analysis of the production costs of the Perovskite solar module in terms of level of energy costs and have shown that these products could be competitive in the Alpenland, provided that they achieve a efficiency of more than 24% with a lifespan of 30 years with a life of 30 years. July 3, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of scientists from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a bottom-up techno-economic model to assess the production costs and feasibility of the Perovskiet zone module. The modeling is based on existing…
The Genius Tracker TF supports Slops up to 1.7 degrees between messages, reducing the costs of land degrees. July 3, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Gamechange Solar, a supplier based in the US Van Solar Tracker and Fixed-Tilt Racking Systems, announced an update of his Genius Tracker Line or Solar Tracker Systems that makes what the company says is a greater adaptability to sloping soil. The Genius Tracker TF supports slopes up to 1.7 degrees between messages. Gamechange reports that this is able to install solar players with less land design, reduce the costs for flattening land and…
An international research group has investigated how PV-driven heat pumps and district heating can be combined to heat a building with several apartments in Sweden and has discovered that of the three combinations they evaluated, dependent on heat pumps, since the primary heat source was the “most advantageous solution” in terms of operational costs and environment. July 3, 2025 Lior Kahana A European research group has conducted a study into the performance of a hybrid PV -driven heat pump (HP) and district heating (DH) system in a building with several apartments. It was simulated via Trnsys software, based on the…
The British solar market is heated. With the increasing energy bills and public interest in solar energy growth, installers see the demand of both homeowners and owners of commercial real estate. But while the chance is expanded, outdated sales processes are blocking many companies, from slow design workflows to fragmented citation tools and generic CRMs that are not built for the transactions. As the global industries embrace real-time data and automation, Aether enables the solar energy sector to make that bridge with confidence. It gives installers the speed and precision they need to grow in the current market. If you…
According to the World Meteorological Organization, 40% of the global population currently lives in areas with inadequate weather monitoring infrastructure, creating gaps in climate data collection. These gaps lead to less accurate forecasts and hamper our ability to predict and prepare for severe weather events, which affect millions of people annually. Despite technological advances in meteorology, many remote and developing regions still struggle with insufficient weather monitoring capabilities because of unreliable power sources and prohibitive infrastructure costs. Solar-powered weather stations are a revolutionary solution to this global challenge. By combining clean energy technology with advanced meteorological sensors, these autonomous systems…
Credit: Lightsource BP After a mood-a-rama session the record broke For most votes about changes and procedural motions, Trump’s budget law has disappeared by the Senate and it is back in the house. Some of the most extreme anti-solo measures, such as an excise duty of 50%, were removed. Nevertheless, changes in the large tax credit on the sun on the horizon are regardless of which version the Oval Office will achieve. Solar Power World Phone on the telephone with Matt Kaden, director of law firm Baker Tilly, where he specializes in the tax policy of energy and infrastructure, to…
