The commercial space and defense technology company established in the US has announced a new $ 45 million facility in Colorado to produce solar array systems to serve the growing satellite market. June 30, 2025 Valerie Thompson Sierra Space, a company for space and defense technology company located in the US, has announced a new facilty to expand its capacity to produce Solar PV energy systems for satellites, as well as other applications. “The new Sierra Space Power Station facility has the production capacity of the solar production of approximately 150 kW per year, and we have plans to triple…
The iconic image of snow-capped mountains and pristine white slopes is under threat as climate change reshapes winter as we know it. Ski resorts across North America are facing a stark reality: winters are getting warmer, snowfall is becoming less reliable, and seasons are growing shorter. According to recent climate data, average winter temperatures in popular skiing regions have risen by 2-3°F over the past 50 years, with some areas experiencing even more dramatic warming. For resort operators, this translates to fewer skiable days, higher operational costs, and a threat to a business model that has remained largely unchanged for…
On July 1, the US Senate approved his version of the Budget Reconciliation Bill Goed with vice-president JD Vance who released the tie-breaking mood. The final version removed according to a new 50% excise duty on solar projects using components associated with China, according to Politics. Politics Also reports that the final version makes solar and wind projects on Utility scale possible that start less than a year after the account was determined, and to use it within four years, to still claim the full ITC/PTC credit. Projects that start construction after that period should still be hired by the…
Global South Utilities (GSU) has concluded similarities with Madagascar to develop a 50 MW Sun Factory and a 25 MWH Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) in the Island Nation.

The Chinese manufacturer said the result was confirmed by Tüv Rheinland. It was achieved by a sunken pyramid structure that reportedly reaches selective texture on the non-electrode area of the rear and a zebra-junction passivating contact structure that is said to guarantee excellent passivation. July 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Chinese polysilicium and solar -Module manufacturer Tongwei claims to have reached a 91.7% bifaciality factor in a 722 W solar module based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (topcon) solar cell technology. “We have achieved this result with a top concel with a bifaciality of 94.3%,” the researcher of Tongwei, Xiajie Mix,…
Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) has commissioned the largest Vanadium Redox -Flow battery in Europe, a pilot facility of 2 MW/20 MWh in Germany. July 1, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina By ESS News Fraunhofer ICT started serving Europe’s largest Vanadium Redox Flow -Battery. The battery has a power of 2 MW and a capacity of 20 MWh. The pilot facility, installed as part of the Redoxwind project in Fraunhofer ICT facilities in Pfinztal, Germany, is connected to the direct-flow temperature circuit of a wind turbine of 2 MW. Fraunhofer ICT said a test has shown how renewable energy can…

Vodafone Procure & Connect gets access to part of the operational benefits of the development of Bramley Bess (photo). Image: Shell. Shell Energy Europe has joined forces with Vodafone Procure & Connect to determine how the storage systems for battery energy (BESS) can become an increasingly important part of the grid management systems in the coming years. The two companies want to gain insight into the functionality of Bess -Activa to determine how they can support the energy balancing and flexibility services for energy demand, because larger volumes of renewable energy come online and put an increased pressure on grid…
The British government has a contract-for-difference (CFD) application (CFD) for the proposed XLinks Interconnector, a submarine cable of 3,800 km, rejected to supply electricity of a planned 10.5 GW solar wind facility in Morocco in the British Grid. July 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini and Marie Beyer The British Ministry of Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) has said that it will not grant a CFD to a submarine cable project that the British developer XLinks is planning to build a 10.5 GW Wind-Solar facility in Morocco with locations in Wales and England. The Desnz was originally planning to grant a…
