Italy has extended the Bouwdeadline for 1.5 GW from Agrivoltaic projects until 30 June 2026, after developers had not reached the original timeline. June 26, 2025 Sergio Matalucci By PV Magazine Italy The Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has given more time for plant construction to the 1.5 GW of projects selected in the first of the country Utility scale Agrivoltaics Tender. The decision followed on reports from various developers who said they could not get the first 30 June 2025, the government’s deadline. The new deadline is June 30, 2026. Grid connection must be completed within…
The tandem device is based on a soil organic cell that can achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 17.9% and a high short-circuit current of 28.60 MA CM2. In addition, it uses a top perovskite solar cell with an open circuit voltage of 1.37 V and a filling factor of 85.5%. June 26, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) claim that they have achieved a record-breaking power conversion efficiency of 26.4% for a tandem solar cell based on a wide-band gap perovskiet floor cell and a narrow-band gap organic top device. “The…
The historic purchasing of China Energy Engineering Corporation signals a shift to market -driven energy storage, whereby bids are a reflection of aggressive cost -saving and rising industrial consolidation. June 26, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC), a government infrastructure giant, has so far launched one of the largest tenders of the energy storage of China, with a battery systems of 25 GWH to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) on 3 June. The bid is seen as a turning point for the marketing of the Chinese energy storage industry, heels of large legal changes earlier this…
Green14 in Sweden, a plasma-silicon startup, said that his silicon-based anodia material is being tested by the battery group at Rise, the national research organization of Sweden. June 26, 2025 Valerie Thompson Green14 in Sweden, a hydrogen-plasma-silicon startup, announced tests of his silicone-based anodia material at Rise, the National Research Organization of Sweden. The battery team at Rise received the first party on silicone-based anodia material produced by Green14’s new hydrogen plasma pilot reactor installed on the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. “Silicium anodes offer a step change in the performance of the lithium ion battery, making a considerably higher…
Tesla to build the first grid scale in China Tesla announced on Friday that it signed an agreement to build its first Power Station Project project on the Grid scale on the mainland of China. The project will help with the flexible adjustment of network sources and “effectively resolve the pressure with regard to urban power supply,” Tesla said in a post to the Chinese social media platform Weibo. “After completion, this project is expected to be the largest energy storage project on the Rasters in China,” Tesla added. Such energy storage systems help improve stability in the electricity grid…
Bangladesh has reduced import duties on solar converters from 10% to 1% to reduce project costs and to support PV systems on the utility scale and the roof under its net measurement schedule. June 26, 2025 Sypul Islam The government of Bangladesh has reduced import duties on solar converters from 10% to 1%. The measure is intended to promote solar energy generation. The government said that the duty reduction would lower project costs and attract more investments in clean energy. Officials noted that the domestic PV sector had long since called for the move, which was determined on 22 June…
PV Magazine: How are things for Jinkosolar in Europe and Germany? Niendorf: We are currently in a transition phase – not only for Jinko, but also for the entire European solar market. The rapid expansion of PV capacity in recent years, especially in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, has achieved an impressive profit in generating clean electricity. However, this growth has exposed structural bottlenecks in the energy system: limited grid capacity, inflexible market rules and a lack of storage infrastructure. Raster connection delays have become a highest care for developers and EPCs, especially in regions with high penetration. At the…
Researchers have shown that the theoretical optimum tilt for the production of solar energy on the roof in cheap buildings in Nigeria is approximately 5.67 °. Their modeling suggests that the roofs facing PV generation in the Global South are assuming. June 26, 2025 Lior Kahana Scientists from the Durban University of Technology in South Africa have investigated the optimized roof field corners for integrating PV systems into cheap buildings. “In the Global South (GS), access to affordable, reliable electricity remains challenging, especially in homes with a low income. Solar PV emerges as the most suitable option for renewable energy,…

Image: EDF Renewables UK. EDF Renewables UK has signed a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Transport for London (TFL) to London’s Tube. The PPA will help finance the construction of the 400 MW Longfield Solar Farm, for which EDF renewable energy sources in June 2023 protected a development assignment (DCO). About 20% of the site output will be delivered…
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has officially approved two new American national standards developed by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) about consumer protection and activities and maintenance for projects for solar and storage. This new one Approved standardsANSI/SEIA 401 and ANSI/SEIA 301, were developed through a rigorous process in which stakeholders from the entire value chain and storage -worthy value capacity, including installers, financiers, proponents of consumers, national laboratories and government agencies and government agencies, and government agencies, and and, and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and…
