New research from Saudi Arabia shows that PV, concentrated solar power (CSP) or hybrid PV-CSP systems could considerably lower the level of hydrogen. CSP offers higher capacity factors, but PV-driven electrolysis offers the lowest expected costs for hydrogen production. June 13, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals from Saudi Arabia have studied the technical and economic feasibility of producing green hydrogen using independent PV, CSP or hybrid PV-CSP systems. “Instead of limiting ourselves to liveled costs of the calculation and optimization of hydrogen (LCOH), we have also evaluated the environmental impact, including land use…
At Lincoln Academy campus in North Carolina, students gather around a digital display tracking real-time energy production from the school’s newly installed solar array. What was once just another science lesson has transformed into a living laboratory where students witness renewable energy in action. This scene is becoming more common across America as schools embrace solar power as a cost-saving measure and an educational opportunity that prepares students for a sustainable future. The adoption of solar panels in schools has surged by over 81% in the past decade, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. This growth shows a shift…
Rising electricity demand and higher CO2 emission prices increased the average energy prices last week on most major European markets, according to ALEASOFT Energy forecasting. Spain reached a new record of the daily solar generation, with France, Italy and Portugal also June Highs. June 13, 2025 Patrick Jowett Most major European electricity markets had an increase in the weekly average electricity price in the first week of June, according to analysis of ALEASOFT Energy Prognosing. Compared to the week before, the Spanish consultancy firm that the weekly average price rose in the Belgian, British, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish…
Technical consultancy Mayfield Renewables annually announced his second Teaching stop is held on 15-16 October 2025 in Seattle, Washington. The top is a learning-oriented live event for developers, EPCs, manufacturers and stakeholders in the industry that work in commercial and industrial Solar + storage. The event will contain two full days of training sessions and networking opportunities. In comparison with other states, Washington has not always been known for a high Megawatt Zonne-Koop row. But in recent years it has grown in experience by supporting resilient community Microgrid systems. With this year’s Education Summit in Seattle, those present can look…
In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, reports that the negotiations of Global Polysilicon remain challenging, because buyers and sellers continue to struggle to achieve similarities on prices in the midst of a stubborn accurate imbalance. Moreover, it reveals that the Chinese Polysilicon Futures market will fall another 13% for supply contracts of November 2025. June 13, 2025 Opis The Global Polysilicon Marker (GPM), the OPIS benchmark for Polysilicon produced outside China, was rated this week at $ 18.917/kg or $ 0.040/W, which reflects a decrease of 1.64% based on reported Buy-Sell indications. Global polysilicon…

Researchers in Brazil have installed a vertical thermistorical chain with six temperature loggers under a floating PV factory and on a nearby reference. The system also registered solved oxygen and photosynthetically active radiation to assess the environmental effects. June 13, 2025 Lior Kahana Research led by scientists from the Brazilian Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) carried out a field rating of temperature variations, dissolved oxygen (DO) and photosynthetically active radiation (par) in a floating PV system. They used a vertical thermist scenery of six temperature loggers that were installed under the floating solar installation. “Our study is the first to…
