Bangladesh pushes solar energy to tackle energy appliances Bangladesh’s care leader has ordered all government institutions, including buildings and schools in the ministry, to install solar panels to illuminate chronic power problems in a country that is regularly hit by deadly heat waves. The South Asian nation of 170 million people has set themselves the goal of generating 20 percent of renewable energy by 2030-a four-time increase and rising to 30 percent by 2040, the government said in a statement. “Bangladesh stays far behind neighboring countries”, reads the statement published by the office of Interim leader Muhammad Yunus. “Only 5.6…

Renewable energy sources generated almost a third of the total American electric generation in April, with solar energy resulting in more than 10% of the total national output, according to an assessment of US Energy Information Administration (EIA) facts Through the Sun Day campaign. The last monthly “Electric Power Monthly” report from EIA (with data up to and including 30 April 2025) confirms that Solar remains the fastest growing new source of American electricity. In April alone, the electrical generation rose due to the solar scale on Utility scale (projects larger than 1 MW) by 39.3%, while the “estimated” small…

Although Colombia added 13 new solar farms in the first quarter of 2025, the National Raster operator XM Compañía warns the Expertos that delays of the transmission infrastructure threaten the use of the expected solar capacity. June 27, 2025 Luis Ini By PV Magazine Latam The first quarter of 2025 brought the entry of 13 PV projects into the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the addition of 16 MW of new solar capacity, according to official data from the national raster operator XM Compañía the Expertos of Colombia. By March 2025, the total capacity was 1,348 MW operational and 699…

Symmetry break to stimulate the performance of solar cells Researchers at Kyoto University have unveiled a new approach to overcome long -term limitations in the efficiency of solar cells by using an advanced quantum process that is known as the Bulk Photovoltaic effect. This effect, unlike conventional photovoltaic mechanisms, makes the current generation beyond traditional tension limits, but the underlying physics has remained largely elusive. The phenomenon includes shift flow, a steady electrical current due to asymmetrical electron excitation. It comes to the fore in systems without space inversion symmetry. If time-interpretation symmetry and physical processes remain unchanged if the…

The Feldon Vale Solar PV energy plant (photo) is the largest of the four projects to be connected. Image: Low carbon. Independent Power Producer (IPP) Low Carbon has announced that it has successfully connected four new Solar PV energy plants to the grid. The four projects have a combined generation capacity of 129 MW and are spread over England. The largest of these developments is the Feldon Vale Solar PV energy plant, which is located in Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, and has a capacity of 49.9 MW generation. The Pepperhill project is in Shropshire and has a capacity of 21 MW generation,…

This week, women in Solar+ Europe give a voice to Yana Hryshko, Managing Consultant, APAC, head of Global Solar Supply Chain Research at Wood Mackenzie. She says that the PV industry in China in the divide of gender, although still present, feels less rigid than in Europe. “Women are active in various departments, including engineering, production, QA, sales and research,” she says. “Although men remain the majority, the gap feels narrower than in Europe.” June 27, 2025 Women in solar energy+ Europe The solar industry stands out as one of the more accessible energy sectors for women, especially in policy,…

Namaste Solar has completed a 333.54-KW roof project Boulder ModA modular home factory in Boulder, Colorado. The factory, a partnership between the city of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District and Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, produces energy-efficient, fully electric modular houses that are permanently affordable for households with low to middle income. Namaste Solar By feeding the All-Electric Boulder Mod Factory with solar energy, this project immediately supports the extensive climate activitiatives of the city and lowers the operational costs for the facility. Boulder strives to reach a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 and to become a…

The production capacity of PV module in Southeast Asia has reached 86.5 GW at 61 active locations, according to the quality assurance company Sinovoltaics based in Hong Kong. The figures come from the newest report “Southeast Asia Solar Supply Chain Map” from the company. June 27, 2025 Valerie Thompson Sinovoltaics, a technical compliance and quality assurance provider with headquarters in Hong Kong, brought his newest “Southeast -Asia Solar Supply Chain Map”Reporting that type plate PV module production capacity in the region has reached 86.5 GW on 61 active production projects. Available as a Free DownloadThe report includes locations that produce…

As a prototype, the Blatchford Virtual Power Plant (VPP) with 100 Sunen batteries launches throughout the community, which offers almost 0.5 MW of electricity and more than 2 MWh storage capacity to support the Canadian energy letter. June 27, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA Landmark Homes, a specialist in sustainable housing, has built a new VPP in collaboration with Utility Epcor, Electricity Shops Solartility, Energy Storage Supplier Sonnen and the University of Alberta. The energy storage in the VPP, supplied by Sonnen, offers the community and its residents a backup of emergency backup, daily management of peak energy…

A European team from the industry and the academic world integrates organic solar cells in woven polyester textile for outdoor use, such as in tents or awnings. The Suntex project also focuses on improving the sustainability and efficiency of organic photovoltaic. June 27, 2025 Valerie Thompson European researchers from the industry and the academic world integrate organic thin-film photovoltaic cells (OOG) in woven textiles for use in lightweight outdoor structures, such as tents or awnings. The Suntex project includes work on improving OV -durability and efficiency. It is a three -year € 2.13 million ($ 2.47 million) in the Eurostars…
