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…

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…
A 1 GW Direct Current (DC) transmission line that connects the mainland of Greece with Crete has entered into test operation, with full commercial service expected to support new green power capacity and future mutual connections with Cyprus, Israel and Egypt. May 29, 2025 Ilias Tsagas The independent power transmission operator of Greece (IPTO) has revealed that a new grid line that connects the mainland of Greece started working with Crete on 24 May. The line consists of two 500 kV Direct electricity (DC) Substitute cables, each 335 km long and laid on depths of up to 1,200 meters, which…
Toyota Boshoku America, Onyx Renewable energy sources And other project partners gathered 28 May for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of a 5.7-MW solar project that will fill 85% of the electricity needs in the Illinois factory of TBA with clean energy. TBA chose to work with Sol -systems, That the project originated and developed, to install a solar farm that is being maximized by locating the system on land next to Toyota Boshoku Illinois (Tbil) the production facility of Lawrenceville. Onyx Renewables then took over the project and offered immediate energy savings to TBA and Tbil…
In the midst of the industry, California has set up new benchmarks for the volume of immediate electricity that is injected into the schedule by the battery and solar stands of the state. May 28, 2025 John Fitzgerald Weaver By ESS News While the solar and energy storage industry is bracing for shifting political wind In Washington, DC, California, continues to do what it does best: Records Clean Energy Break Clean Energy. At 7:45 pm (PDT) On May 20, battery systems that are connected to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Grid A new peak immediate electricity output of 10.030…
