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 But while the chance is expanded, outdated sales processes are blocking many companies, from slow design workflows to fragmented citation tools and generic CRMs that are not built for the transactions.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…
The Malaysian authorities say that approximately 1.7 GW of PV systems operate under the Malaysian building Integrated photovoltaic (MBIPV) schedule and the three Net Energy Metering (NEM) programs of the country. July 2, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Malaysia’s energy transition and the Ministry of Water Transformation (Petra) has updated the MBIPV schedule and NEM programs for PV systems on the roof. The ministry said that around 1.7 GW of PV systems are currently active among the two programs, with another 595 MW in development. According to the revised framework, PV system owners in the MBIPV schedule will receive energy drawing…
Worldone Energies has announced plans to build a 1 GW Solar Module Factory in Ontario, Canada, which marks an important step in its worldwide expansion beyond India. The facility will produce tunneloxide -passivated contact (topcon) bifacial modules and meet the North -American market. July 2, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Worldone Energies has announced plans to set up a production facility of 1 GW Solar Module in Ontario, Canada, which marks an important step in its global expansion beyond India. The facility will produce Topcon bifacial modules and meet the North -American market. The company said that the…
Scientists in Malaysia have developed a new deplete method for mapping PV fitness. By applying the new approach in the Middle East, they discovered that around 5.8% of the region has a very high suitability and 11.5% is very suitable for the development of PV energy. July 2, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by the National University of Malaysia has developed a new deplete method for PV fitness mapping. “The novelty of our research lies in the development of a fully optimized and interpretable deep learning -pipeline, combining tabet, optuna and shap for mapping Solar PV site,” said…
One of the objectives of the state -owned company is to create local jobs and strengthen the domestic supply chain for clean energy. Image: Solar Media. Great British Energy will find opportunities to develop technological sovereignty in the supply chain to encourage the concept of energy that it has been designed in the UK that supports the recently released industrial strategy. That is what Rob Gilbert, director Supply Chain at GB Energy, told PV Tech Managing Editor Ben Willis to a discussion at the UK Solar Summit in London in London, yesterday (July 1). Introduction to him, Willis said that…
A castle in Bavaria, Germany, has installed a brick PV system using colored solar modules from Futurasun in Italy. The project was made possible by a recent amendment on the Monument Protection Act of Bavaria, making solar energy on heritage buildings possible. July 2, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By PV Magazine Germany A PV system with stone red solar modules is installed on the listed Blumenthal Kasteel in Bavaria, Germany. The 120 KW system is so far the largest of its kind in Bavaria, according to the Italian module manufacturer Futurasun, which supplied its red-colored FU370m Silk Nova Red Panels for…
In this contributed article, Mark Macaulay, partner, Adam Brown, counsel, and Roddy Cormack, senior employee, of the project team of law firm Dentons focuses on the market opportunities for pump supply hydropower. Inertia, an important but complex physical aspect of electricity systems, is the ability to rotate machines, traditionally through thermally driven turbines, to offer system stability by resisting sudden frequency changes. System frequency stability refers to maintaining the work frequency after disruptions between generation and load – such as peaks in the electricity demand or malfunctions. This is crucial for power delivery and preventing damage to equipment. Rasters that…
