Developer of Renewable Energie SSE Renewables has announced that it has opened the first public consultation for a proposed 200 MW of solar energy and 400 MW of storage development. The proposed Shepway Energy Park is located in Romney Marsh, New Newchurch in the Graafschap Kent and delivers 200 MW Solar Energy Plus a 400 MW Battery Energy Storage System (Bess). The development will be spread over six locations in the Romney Marsh area. Due to the proposed capacity of the project of the project, the project…
Sunpower CEO TJ Rodgers says that the company will survive that cutbacks will survive on federal solar stimuluses by staying lean, sharpening his technological lead and ticking private capital. He claims that the industry will be stronger without subsidies. June 9, 2025 Ben Santarris By PV Magazine USA Chip and solar industry -veteran TJ Rodgers says it is time for the federal government to throw incentives for both industries and to promise that his renewed Zonnepower will survive any cuts. TJ Rodgers, chairman and chief executive of a Reformulated Sunpower Corp., came from swinging in a webinar that he performed…
Researchers in Germany have modeled dozens of indirect exhibition solar-assisted heat pump systems using photovoltaic thermal panels for single-family homes in Munich in Munich, Berlin and Hamburg. Simulations were responsible for local weather, electricity use and thermal demand. June 9, 2025 Lior Kahana An international research group led by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology of Germany has carried out energy, economic and environmental reviews of 54 photovoltaic thermal (PVT) Indirect-Expansie (IDX) solar-assisted heat pumps (SAHPs) and found only two configuration that has been positive. The group used MatLab to simulate systems with three coolants – R32, Propaan and R410A. The…
Qcells says that his new Ecorecycle facility in the US state of Georgia Aluminum, Glass, Silver and Copper will remove from used solar modules and process it for reuse. June 9, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA Qcells, a South Korean solar manufacturer with facilities in the United States and Malaysia, has announced the launch of Ecorecycle by Qcells, with its first recycling operation planned for Cartersville, Georgia. At full capacity, the first facility of Ecorecycle can recycle around 250 MW solar panels annually, or around 500,000 panels per year, the company reports. Qcells is Plan to produce 3.3…
Qcells Is his own recycling operation of the solar panel in Cartersville, Georgia, near the production facility of the solar panel. Ecorecycle by Qcells must have the option of recycling 500,0000 solar panels annually – or around 250 MW. Ecorecycle first starts with the Georgia facility, but Qcells has plans to expand the recycling effort throughout the country. The new vertical for Qcells will work as a return service with low recycling costs. “As the US goes to a more sustainable and self-reliant solar industry, Ecorecycle is dedicated by Qcells to pioneering innovative recycling technologies that not only reduce the…
The Chinese solar cell manufacturer Drinda and the Schmid Pekintas Energy from Turkey have unveiled plans to jointly develop a 5 GW N-Type solar cell facility to circumvent EU-trading barriers. June 9, 2025 Vincent Shaw Hainan Drinda New Energy Technology has signed a strategic cooperation agreement via the daughter JTPV of Hong Kong with Turkish sun company Schmid Pekintas Energy to build a 5 GW N-type solar production facility in Turkey, starting with a first phase of 2 GW. Drinda said that Turkey is currently organizing 15 GW of module capacity – first ranking in Europe. But it has less…

Image: Renewable connections. Developer Renewable Connections has received a planning state for a 23.5 MW solar PV factory together with a 19mw battery energy storage system (BESS). The Carr House Solar Farm en Bess will be located in East Heslerton, Yorkshire, which has been approved by the North Yorkshire Council. Renewable connections submitted an application at the beginning of 2024. The site covers an area of approximately 88.8 hectares…
Researchers in Saudi Arabia have developed a hydrogel composite that absorbs moisture in solar modules at night and facilitates evaporation cooling during daylight hours. The system has undergone laboratory tests and outdoor experiments on two continents. June 9, 2025 Lior Kahana A group led by scientists from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) from Saudi Arabia has developed a new, cheap passive refrigerator technology for PV panels. It consists of Polyacrylic acid sodium salt (Easter) and lithium chloride (LICL) Hydrogelcomposites applied on the back of the solar module. “We specialize in materials that make passive cooling possible,” said…
THDC India, a subsidiary of NTPC, has commissioned the first unit of 250 MW of a 1 GW variable fast pump storage water couple project in India. June 9, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India THDC India Ltd, a subsidiary of NTPC LTD, has commissioned the first unit of 250 MW of its 1 GW variable speed pump to Hydro Power Project in Uttarakhand, India commissioned. The project consists of four units of 250 MW each. It is foreseen to generate 1 GW peak power to improve the reliability of the network in Noord -India. The reservoirs made by…
Jinkosolar led worldwide PV module readings in 2024, followed by Ja Solar, Longi, Canadian Solar and Trina Solar, according to Wood Mackenzie. The research agency notes a growing shift into full vertical integration among top manufacturers. June 9, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Wood Mackenzie has been released PV -module manufacturer ranking before 2024. “In many ways, 2024 was a year of survival by scale for the industry,” said Yana Hryshko, head of the global solar supply chain at Wood Mackenzie. However, the top 10 module manufacturers sent the 500 GW of panels worldwide last year. “Aggressive prices, intense competition and continuous…
