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…

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…
The Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) has approved a FOX ESS plan to collect more than CNY 1.6 billion ($ 223 million) through a stock sale, while Hangzhou Gold Electronics has guaranteed the free space to search for CNY 850 million for the battery management system company). June 27, 2025 Vincent Shaw Image: Getty Images, Unsplash FOX ESS has secured approval for its initial public offer (IPO) application of the SZSE. The Solar and Energy Storage Company is planning to spend up to 90 million A-Shares on the Chinext board, supported by Guotai Haitong Securities, in an attempt to collect more…
After submitting similar bankruptcy documents in Europe earlier this month, Meyer has submitted Burger for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in the United States. The company estimates its assets between $ 100 million and $ 500 million, and its obligations between $ 500 million and $ 1 billion. Meyer Burger mentions his largest creditor with uncovered claims such as American customs and border protection, with $ 5.1 million in unpaid import duties. The Swiss company operated a solar panel -assembly factory in Phoenix, but dismissed the entire workforce at the end of May. Meyer Burger also had a cell production facility…
