The new FS5 V2 spectrofluorometer is available as a benchop system for fluorescence spectroscopy. May 30, 2025 Valerie Thompson Edinburgh Instruments, a spectroscopy instrument manufacturer based in Scotland, launched a new banking system for fluorescence spectroscopy. The FS5 V2 spectrofluorometer is suitable for perovskite solar cells, organic PV and quantum dot characterization. The standard configuration includes a Foton -Bounting Photomultiplicateur (PMT) detector for fluorescence spectra of visible range and an absorption detector in one instrument, which eliminates the need for multiple instruments, according to the manufacturer. The light source is a 150 W xenon arc lamp. Fully automated filter wheels…
Totomengies and RGE have signed a co-investment agreement to develop and exploit a project for Zonne-Plus-Plus storage in Indonesia. The factory on the utility scale is built and managed by Singa Renewables, their equally owned by Joint Venture. May 30, 2025 Patrick Jowett French energy company Tottyergies and the industrial group RGE established in Singapore have signed a co-investment agreement to develop, build and exploit a tanning factory with battery energy storage in the province of Riau, Indonesia. Totomengies and RGE signed the agreement through their joint venture Singa renewable energy sources, which they also have. According to a joint…
The financing will be used to support both construction and operational costs. Image: Ampyr distributed energy. Investor of Renewable Energy Ampyr Distributed Energy has concluded an important financing agreement to support the growth in the UK Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) sectors. The facility of £ 170 million was agreed with French financing Major Crédit Agricole CIB and was designed to support the continuous investments of Ampyr in commercial and industrial solar and BES projects in the United Kingdom. The facility can be attracted for both construction and operational costs, and Ampyr claims that it is one of…
S-5!A manufacturer of metal roof mount, had certified his PVKIT-Rill-free solar mounting system for UL 3741-WALLEVING. This certification applies to the full system when used with all S-5! Clamps and brackets, MLPE clips and partner products. PVKIT of S-5! This milestone in product safety and performance was certified by testing and evaluation using the latest standards. “As the safety of firefighters becomes a growing concern about the proliferation of tanning systems on the roof, UL 3741 compliance becomes a common and more required standard for both residential and commercial projects,” said Ricardo Barroso, S-5! Research and Development Director. “Our customers…
Scientists have simulated the addition of floating solar panels to the Etzelwerk van Switzerland, a pump plant with open pumped storage. With 10% of the upper reservoir for the solar panels, the research team was able to add approximately 20% of the energy output. May 29, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group from the Italian University of Bologna has simulated that a Floating PV (FPV) plant is added to an existing pump to -storage hydropower (HP) plant in the Swiss pre -alpine area. The Etzelwerk is an open-loop pump storage hydraulic power plant, which uses the difference in height difference…
Scientists have developed a new model for heat exchangers of heat pumps, combining the strengths of numerical modeling and machine learning. May 29, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the French Technological University IMT Atlantique have developed a new neural accelerated dynamic (NAD) model for heat exchangers of heat pumps. This model integrates both the strengths of numerical modeling and machine learning to achieve a high precision computational efficient model. “Under the components of the heat pump, heat exchangers include complex heat transfer phenomena and contribute to the majority of the dynamics of the heat pump. Under the common numeric approaches…
Did you know that Germany—a country that receives similar sunlight to Alaska—was once the world leader in solar energy production? Despite having 30% less sunlight than the sunniest parts of the United States, Germany has installed over 58 gigawatts of solar capacity, proving that cloudy climates aren’t the dealbreaker many assume them to be. If you live in a region where overcast skies are the norm rather than the exception, you might question whether solar panels are a worthwhile investment. It’s a valid concern—after all, solar panels generate electricity by capturing sunlight, and less sunlight should mean less power, right?…
The Gambia Office of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is looking for a contractor to supervise a solar -Minigrid installation and to support the tendering process for an installation program. Applications will close on 10 June. May 29, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Aboodi Vesakaran, Unsplash The Gambia Office of the Undp is looking for a supervisor to supervise the installation of a solar themirage. The Tender details Suppose the scope of the work will be to supervise the Microgrid installation in an unnamed rural community, which ensures compliance with technical specifications and quality standards, as well as an evaluation…
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…
