An overview of the use of statistical probability to understand the results of solar production. June 16, 2025 Rocco Fucetola If you work in solar energy, you are destined to hear or encounter the term P50 or P90 or P99. This is initially a very confusing concept. The ‘P’ is for probability and the number of backlog is the probability level (eg 50%, 90%, 99%). However, the probability is inherently quite difficult to understand for us people. We love determinism; cause and effect. Do not do homework, I get a bad grade on my test. Train for a sport and…
OFGEM has awarded GBP 500,000 ($ 677,000) to a consortium led by National Gas and Gravitricity to develop a fed asylum system for storing a maximum of 100 tonnes of green hydrogen underground. The six -month project is intended to assess the feasibility prior to a possible demonstration in 2026. June 16, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Orgem has awarded GBP 500,000 in financing to a consortium to develop a new type of underground hydrogen storage that is designed to contain up to 100 tonnes of green hydrogen in specially built underground lined shafts. “The technology can be located where necessary -…
The heating specialist based in the US said that his new water-to-water system of the variable speed has a performance coefficient of 3.2 with full load and 3.8 for part load. June 16, 2025 Lior Kahana The Illinois -based heat pump manufacturer Enertech has announced a new geothermal heat pump for residential applications. The water-fast water-to-water (WV) system has a heating coefficient (COP) of 3.2 with full load and 3.8 for sub-tax. “Only 42 inches (107 cm) long, redefines the WV versatility through radiant in-floor heating, forced air heating and cooling, and up to 100% of the household hot water…

Form shifting perovskiet materials show promising for LEDs and solar energy In the search for more efficient technologies for renewable energy, researchers from the University of Utah brought the potential of Ruddlesden-Popper Perovskites-layered hybrid materials to the attention with promising applications in LEDs, solar cells and thermal energy storage. Graduated student Perry Martin, who worked in the Bischak Lab of the Chemistry department, led a study using temperature -sensitive spectroscopy and X -ray fraction to investigate how these materials change. Known as phase transitions, these shifts influence the optical behavior of the perovskites. Because the structure has both organic and…
The spending review 2025 (SR25) confirmed £ 13.2 billion in expenditure between 2025-26 and 2029-30 for the scheme. Image: Lauren Hurley / Desnz via Flickr. The British government has confirmed that the Warm Homes plan is supported by £ 13.2 billion in financing, which can save households on accounts. In addition to insulation and other energy efficiency measures, the Warm Homes-plan will unlock savings to a heading total of £ 600 discount on energy bills by helping consumers install “heat pumps and other low-carbon technologies, such as solar panels and batteries”. The expenditure review 2025 (SR25) confirmed £ 13.2 billion…
Researchers in the Middle East claim to have identified the optimal parameters for the commercial production of Perovskiet-Silicon Tandem solar modules at different locations. Their analysis showed that the production costs can currently be as low as $ 0.387/W, with the prospect to reach $ 0.25/W in seven years. June 16, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Middle Technical University in Iraq have assessed the economic viability of the production of Perovskiet-Silicon Tandem PV products and have identified what they have defined as the optimum parameters for future production scenarios. The scientists claimed that their work offers an “end-to-end” approach for…
A map of the now matched Garnton Bess site. Image: Renewable connections. Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) and Solar PV Developer Renewable Connections have received a building permit for a 52 MW Bess development in Oxfordshire. The Yarnton Bess is on 1.5 hectares of land in eastern Yarnton, Oxfordshire, after he received the planning committee of the Cherwell District Council in March of this year; The Council issued its decision on 13 June after ecological studies were fully completed. The project will use the battery technology from Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and the site has been approved for an operational…
Heefwit, based in Italy, has developed a 200 AH-Natrium battery with a lifespan of 6,000 cycles. Allegedly the device offers thermal stability and rapid charging speed. June 16, 2025 Lara Morandotti By ESS News The Italian Startup Hefit has developed a sodium battery for residential use. Heefwit said that the battery entails a lower fire risk, avoiding materials with considerable geopolitical care and offers recycling to the end of life more easily. “The total costs are lower than lithium opposite equal capacity,” the company said in a statement. The system measures 700 mm x 480 mm x 170 mm and…
The energy regulator of Romania Anre has adopted new grid connection rules, changes in the research process of the solution, the requirements for financial guarantees and the conditions for the connection agreement introduced to give priority to adult projects and facilitating gridcunistry. June 16, 2025 Patrick Jowett The energy regulator of Romania Anre has formalized a reform of the framework of the network connection. It follows a consultation for new rules for grid connections that ran earlier this year. Under the new framework, which came into effect at the beginning of June, solution studies must be completed in chronological order,…
