Meyer Burger started the production of heterojunction (HJT) modules in the United States almost a year ago, but ran into problems less than six months later after a large purchase agreement was terminated. May 29, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA De Meyer Burger -Fabriek near Phoenix, Arizona, has fired 283 production employees and material handlers, as reported by Local news. Meyer Burger was planning to produce 1.4 GW HJT -Zonne -modules in his facility in Arizona. The closure comes a year after the Swiss solar manufacturer started with production In the United States. However, the first sign of…
Change in planning legislation can simplify the installation process of the heat pump for thousands of households in England. Limits for the size and the number of heat pumps that can be installed are also increased. The changes have been introduced if the British government strives for 600,000 installations per year by 2028 target. May 29, 2025 Matthew Lynas New planning rules are expected to simplify the installations of the air source heat pump for thousands of houses in England, after a change in the law that came into force on 29 May 2025. The British government has deleted a…
The largest energy community in Denmark is now under construction, with more than 30,000 m² of sun roofs with a total capacity of around 4 MW. The project will make use of buildings-integrated photovoltaisches (BIPV) on pitched roofs and building attached photovoltaic (BAPV) on flat roofs of Danish specialist Solartag. May 29, 2025 Patrick Jowett The construction started with a neighborhood scale energy collective in Denmark driven by BIPV and BAPV. The Faelledby Energy Community in the Faelledby district in Copenhagen will contain more than 30,000 m² of solar roofs with an estimated capacity of 4 MW. The project will…
A new report shows that businesses canceled or delayed more than $14 billion in investments and 10,000 new jobs in renewable energy and clean vehicle factories since January. These cancelations come amid rising fears over the future of federal clean energy tax credits and policy, according to E2’s latest analysis of clean energy projects tracked by E2 and Atlas Public Policy. In April alone, companies canceled a record $4.5 billion in investments in new battery, electric vehicle and wind projects in advance of the U.S. House’s passage of a massive tax and spending package that would essentially kill federal clean energy tax credits. An additional…
Savant SystemsA provider for Smart Home and Power Technologies works together with non -profit organization of renewable energy Grid alternatives To donate Savant Power Storage 20 units for resilience projects in Puerto Rico and Mexico. Savant will offer technical assistance and support training for grid installers on these projects. Credit: Savant Savant Power Storage 20 will prevent electric black -outs and retain critical energy taxes, such as cooling for food and medicine, with these projects. Savings of energy costs can be forwarded to other necessary expenses. Recipients include a physiotherapy center for the elderly and vulnerable populations; A house that…
In April 2025, 82 MW of solar capacity came online. Image: ethical power. The latest data from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) have shown that both domestic and non-household solar installations in the UK continue to rise. From the end of April 2025, the UK has a total of 18.1 GW solar capacity over 1,780,000 installations; This marks an increase of 5.9% (1 GW) since April 2025. In April of this year, 20,405 new solar installations with a combined capacity of 82 MW were completed, a figure of which is, on the other hand, is higher…
Researchers in the Netherlands and Belgium have created a numerical model to simulate the moisture invading PV modules. Their research work showed that the climate in which a PV module is installed has a much higher impact on the penetration of moisture than the choice of materials for the encapsuling of the after -switching. May 29, 2025 Valerie Thompson A research team led by TU Delft in Dutch simulated the penetration of moisture into PV modules to better understand degradation caused by humidity. They analyzed the effect of encapsuring and backsheet material choices and climate conditions. “What is new in…
An image of Statera’s Pelham Battery Asset. Image: Statera. BESS owner operators Gresham House and Statera Energy have indicated their support for zonal prices, a movement considered by the government as part of its Rema reforms. Spend against TimeGresham House Energy Storage Fund Manager Ben Guest and Statera Energy CEO Tom Vernon said that Zonal prices would support the ability of energy storage sources to balance generating in the grid. The assessment of the government of the Electricity Market Regulations (Rema) is to choose between a switch to zonal prices or a reformed national price, the last of which would…
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) of Germany has done new research into the impact of floating PV and water temperature and evaporation. May 29, 2025 Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) Scientists at Fraunhofer Isee have investigated the impact of floating PV on the water temperature and evaporation and have discovered that the lower solar radiation under floating PV systems in the summer led to lower water temperatures. At the same time, the floating PV reduced heat loss of the lakes in the winter, making the water temperatures slightly higher. This can have a positive influence…
