In June, Germany registered 141 hours of negative day-ahead electricity prices, just below the record that was established in May, so that the first half of the full annual figure before 2023 came close. June 30, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt Image: Fraunhofer Isee, Energy cards By PV Magazine Germany The German day-light electricity spot price was negative for 162 hours in May, a total of 720 hours before the month, according to data from Fraunhofer Isee. Negative prizes occurred on 22 of 30 days in June, usually when PV systems worked at full capacity between the morning and in the middle…

CNNP Opto-Electronics started producing a 1,200 mm x 1,600 mm perovskiet solar module on a 200 MW pilot line, which marks a step towards scaling the commercial production of PV technologies of the next generation. June 30, 2025 Vincent Shaw CNNP Optoelectronics, a subsidiary of solar energy of China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC), presented a new perovskite sun module at the recent 2025 SNEC International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference in Shanghai. The product measures 1,200 mm x 1,600 mm and has a power conversion -efficiency of 16.5%, as certified by TÜV Süd. The module has a structure…

Researchers simulated 160 cases of PV roofing installation in South and North -Italia. Among changing parameters were the size and type of panels, as well as their roof coverage. The albedos considered were 20%, 40%, 60%and 80%, which represent different types of roof materials. June 30, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by the Italian University of Calabria has investigated the impact of Albedo on PV current generation on the roof and has discovered that the reflection of the output radiation from the solar panel surfaces to the back of adjacent modules plays an important role in raising the…

Sierra Space opens Power Station Solar Tech Center in Colorado to stimulate defense production Sierra Space has launched a new facility in Broomfield, Colorado, to increase the production of its Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Zonne energy systems, including those for national defense applications. The ‘power station’, a complex of 70,000 square feet, is designed to meet the growing demand for powerful, defense-raved solar arroys and supplements Sierra Space’s newly formed defense division and victory works satellite plant. The $ 45 million power plant has advanced tools, thermal vacuum and air chambers and a fully dynamic class laboratory for vibrations and…

Yang Bao, the president of Global Sales and Marketing of Trinasolar, recently spoke with PV -Magazine About the strategy of the company for the solar and energy storage activities. June 30, 2025 Eckhart Gouras “Trinasolar leaves product facility to concentrate on the range of solutions,” said Yang Bao, Global Sales and Marketing President at Trinasolar, said PV -Magazine During the recent SNEC fair in Shanghai, China. “We now not only offer modules, but also energy storage systems, trackers and cleaning robots.” The diversification in more segments of the global solar supply chain is a strategy for Trinasolar to tackle the…

While Brazil realizes billions in realization, the electricity sector demands urgent action on a reserve auction of energy storage capacity that is now only expected in 2026. “What is missing is the courage to unlock the market,” said Greener CEO Marcio Takata. June 30, 2025 Alessandra Neris By ESS News The Brazilian electricity sector experiences a paradox: while the need for flexibility in the grid is growing – put under pressure through the expansion of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind – the progress of energy storage remains impeded by regulatory uncertainties. The delay in regulating a…
