Monika Paplaczyk, Chief Investment Officer at Thrive Renewables, who up to PV Tech Premium About the British sector for renewable energy this week, said that the British delivery of solar energy is becoming increasingly complex. The interest in the British renewable sector in general, and the sun industry in particular, grows, as we approach the one-year anniversary of the election of the Labor government, which is in particular more renewableities than its predecessor and the upcoming launch of the Solar Roadmap to set the long-term plans of the VK for the industry. In conversation with PV Tech A few days…
Chinese-Moroccan joint venture inaugurates EV battery parts factory A Chinese-Moroccan joint venture announced on Wednesday the inauguration of a new factory for battery components for electric cars, the first of its kind in the North African country. The complex will ultimately have a production “capacity equivalent to 70 GWH per year, enough to equip almost a million electric vehicles per year”, according to Operator Cobco, a joint venture between the Holding Company Al Mada of the Moroccan Royal Family and the Chinese company CNGR Advanced Materials. The first phase of the project will produce Nikkel-Manganese-Cobalt prioter cathodes, “essential components for…
American federal solar tax credits cost the United States $ 25 billion a year, but deliver $ 51 billion in electricity bill savings, together with $ 12 billion in federal tax revenues and $ 3.7 billion in state and local taxes, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), De Brattle Group and the University of Louaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa June 27, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA While the American congress is negotiating the new federal budget, it is trying to make it Drastic cuts to clean energy credits of the energy To finance the expansion of the tax cuts and…
Premier Energies has a 1.2 GW tunneloxide -passivated contact (topcon) Solar line in FAB City in Hyderabad, India commissioned, which increases the total cell production capacity to 3.2 GW. June 27, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Premier Energies has commissioned a new 1.2 GW Topcon Solar Cell production line in FAB City, Hyderabad. The facility supplies cell efficiencies above 25% with advanced 16-bus bar architecture that makes a higher power density and energy yield possible under Real-World conditions. The new line increases the solar cell capacity of Prime Minister from 2 GW to 3.2 GW. The company is…
The Japanese Fund of Gore Street Capital buys its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, while the Ireland’s Gridbeyond starts with energy trade in Japan with an assets of the front-of-the-meter. June 27, 2025 Matthew Lynas Image: Jaison Lin, Unsplash By ESS News UK Bess investor Gore Street Capital has taken his first active in Japan by what it claims is the first dedicated energy storage fund of the country. The acquisition was done under the Toyko Energy Storage Investment Limited Partnership with Itochu Corp. The fund has taken over a project of 20 MW/80mWh in Kasama, Ibaraki prefecture.…
New Swiss research shows that PV-driven houses can increase power consumption by a maximum of 11% compared to non-Solar households. This increase is linked to the acceptance of electric vehicles or other devices with a high use, the author of the study notes is not inherently negative or waste. June 27, 2025 Emiliano Bellini New research from the University of Bern in Switzerland has shown that the installation of a PV system of a residential roof could increase the power consumption of a household by a maximum of 11%. The research work analyzed the impact of the so-called Rebound effect,…
A map of the now complicated site. Image: Firstway Energy. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer Firstway Energy has announced that it has successfully obtained the planning state for a new Bess project in Derbantshire. The Willington Energy Storage Scheme will be located in Willington, South Derbyshire, and will have a Bess of 100 MW, 2 hours. The project will connect directly to the nearby Willington substation. The developer has not stated when he expects the construction to start or will be completed. This is the sixth project for which FIRSTWAY ENERGY has successfully obtained the building permit for the…
A research group in India has experimentally compared the performance of PV and PVT systems under Real-World conditions and discovered that PVT installations offer significant stability benefits, in particular in hot climates. The team put both systems on a roof in an unknown location. The setup included PV and PVT modules, Pyranometers, Thermometers and, in the PVT system, a cooling system with gravity. Researchers also used a machine learning method that is known as random forest to classify the operational efficiency of the systems. “The novelty of the current work lies in the integrated approach, the combining of real-time field…
Enfinity Global has obtained an extension of $ 245 million to finance the development, construction and operation of its 22 GW solar and energy storage pipeline in the United States. June 27, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Enfinity Global has announced the expansion of its structured credit facility in the United States to $ 245 million. The funds are expected to support the development, construction and operation of its 22 GW Utility-Scale Solar Purtheuille on solar energy and energy storage in the United States. The funds were arranged under the leadership of Nomura, with the participation of institutional…
Scientists in Japan have developed a device that makes external magnetic cycling control of magnetic injection flow in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) possible, a phenomenon that is not yet used in commercial solar cells. The research suggests a potential path in the direction of regulating photo flow in photovoltaic applications of the next generation. June 27, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers at Kyoto University in Japan have developed an artificial heterosexual structure that makes magnetic control of injection flow possible in BPVE, making it possible to use important barriers to their use in commercial solar cells. The BPVE is a…
