A Navisun project. Navisun has announced a strategic partnership with GreenPowermonitor (GPM), a software provider for asset management, which will strengthen the possibilities of the company as a true independent power manufacturer. Due to the collaboration, Navisun GPM will integrate Horizon software into the management of its ~ 150 MWDC Fleet of operational and substructure of solar energy and storage activa, in addition to the development frame of future solar and storage activa. GPM Horizon software is currently being implemented in Navisun’s 45 PV and BESS-Activa, with plans to integrate the software with another four new construction activa during 2025.…
In this contributed article, Ross Wolhuter, head of development for Eden Renewables, the developer behind the Forest Gate Solar Farm, discusses how communities can benefit from shared ownership of Zonne -PV. As the UK speeds up its transition to a zero carbon energy system, innovative cooperation models between commercial developers and local communities are useful tools for building sustainable, socially supported renewable infrastructure. Forest Gate Solar Farm, a 49.9 MW project for solar energy and batteries, shows how shared ownership can improve the support of the community, increase local benefits and create a replicable model for future developments for renewable…
United Kingdom, only about 20% of the schools have installed solar panels, but estimates cited by the British government suggest that a typical school can save on average £ 25,000 a year by installing the technology. Image: National Grid. The first 11 schools that install Zonne-PV on the roof, financed by the energy company Great British Energy, is estimated to be saved £ 175,000 a year. All 11 schools have a cumulative installed capacity of 945 KWP, the peak capacity of each PV installation ranging from 13 KW-256 kW. The total annual savings that each school will earn back varies…
After the overwhelming passage of SB 188, two -footed legislation That will create a program for solar sharesThe Montana Renewable Energy Association (MREA) and the Coalition for Community Solar Access (CCSA) have jointly issued a letter that would be hand in hand with supervisors and legislators to set limits to a program that will provide local energy, economic benefits and reliability for Montana families and companies. The letter, sent to the Montana Public Services Commission this week, emphasizes the strong voluntary dedication of the industry to place specific parameters on the Solar Appares program that match the unique needs of…
The researchers said they have optimized the inverted perovskiet cells with low band gaps by a passivating aluminum oxide (AL2O3) interlayer deposited through atomic layer off (ALD), which has significantly improved device efficiency. June 4, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have manufactured a reverse low-band Gap Perovskiet solar cell for applications in four-terminal (4T) Perovskiet-Silicon tandem solar cells. Reverse perovskiet cells have a device structure that is known as “Pin”, where “P” with hole-selective contact at the bottom an intrinsic perovskiet layer “I” with electron transport layer “N” at the top. Conventional halogenide perovskiet…

Independent Test Laboratory Kiwa-Pelveld today published the 11th edition of the PV module Reliability Corecard, with extensively tested PV modules from 50 different manufacturers. The score card reveals improvements in energy yield per watt-peak and resistance to the potential induced demolition, but an increase in fracture under mechanical stress and hail simulations, and a generally higher failure percentage is a reason to concern for many. June 4, 2025 Mark Hutchins The Reliability Corecard module, published annually by PV Module Testing Laboratory Kiwa-Pvel, has released its 11one edition today. The Scorecard summarizes the results of extensive reliability tests from on the…
