India’s Pom Systems & Services has developed new hybrid inverters with electricity classifications of 3 kW, 5 kW and 10 kW for residential solar applications. May 15, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India In Bengaluru-based POM systems & services said the POM hybrid inverters launched with electricity classifications of 3 kW, 5 kW and 10 kW. The inverters combine the functions of a traditional solar converter and a battery stirer in a single device. The pom -hybrid inverter converts DC electricity from PV panels to AC for household use and manages bidirectional power transfer to and to a lithium…
Biwatt has unveiled a 155 kWh sodium iones battery energy system (BESS) for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. May 15, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News The Chinese energy storage manufacturer Biwatt has introduced a C&I product based on sodium ions. The PowerLake I2 is said to be safer than rival energy storage systems because the cells are thermally inert-which means that they are not independent. The PowerLake I2 is an all-in-one system with energy storage and an inverter housed in a single switch cabinet. Operation is designed to remain stable, even under extreme temperature conditions -from -30 C to…

ID 336388164 © Nick Klein Mayors from OHIO are urging solar projects in their cities to continue to use the Direct Pay determination of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has supported countless solar projects in the state. They confirm that without the tax credit, many of these projects would not have been possible. Direct Loon is a provision in the IRA that local governments and other tax-free organizations, including churches, hospitals and schools to claim tax credits for investing…
Schools in Birmingham are among those who have installed solar systems as part of a national grid. Image: National Grid. The government has assigned more than £ 630 million in financing to upgrades for public buildings that will help reduce energy costs. Social institutions, including schools, hospitals and care homes, receive help from the government to install technologies, including solar panels and heat pumps. These reduce the amount that is spent on feeding and heating such buildings, which in turn reduces the costs for the taxpayer. The government estimates that the investment will lead to an average of £ 650…
XL batteries And Prometheus HyperscaleA developer of sustainable hyperscale data centers has announced a multi -year agreement to implement long -term energy storage systems on location with data centers. Global electricity demand from data centers is predict To rise by no less than 165% in 2030. As the reliability of the schedule is threatened by aging infrastructure and the approval of intermittent renewable energy sources increases, on-site energy storage will play a crucial role in helping data center operators such as Prometheus that is reliable 24/7 activities. In addition, data centers, in particular those with large clusters, robust and agile…
The National Electric Energy Company has submitted rules for the international public bidding process for the purchase of 1.5 GW capacity and energy. The tender will consist of 65% renewable energy with storage and 35% non-renewable energy. The bid process has also been presented to a forum of Chinese investors. May 15, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Héctor Emilio Gonzalez/Unsplash By PV Magazine Latam The National Electric Energy Company of Honduras (ENEE) has the bidding rules for the international public bidding process for the purchase of 1500 MW capacity and energy to the international public bid process for the international public…
Qcells says that his perovskiet/silicon tandem solar modules have passed various independently verified stress tests. The South Korean Modulemaker claims that the results meet benchmarks for commercial acceptance of its tandem technology. May 15, 2025 Patrick Jowett Qcells said his perovskiet/silicon tandem solar modules have passed various critical stress tests for the reliability of solar cells. The tested modules are based on the company’s internal perovskiet technology as a top cell, with its own Q.Antum silicon technology as a soil cell. The modules have passed several IEC standard stress tests, including UV pre-conditioning at 15 kWh/m², 200 thermal cycles, 10…
Scientists have developed a precursor formulation for various PV simulation tools that can help calculate the expected performance of solar farms on hilly slopes. Validation tests against an experimental setup showed a mistake of less than 3%. May 15, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the East West University of Bangladesh have developed a new method for analyzing bifacial PV systems in sloping sites. The new technology is a precursor that is then inserted in existing PV simulation models that do not explain hilly solar farms. “The proposed method includes the recalculation of the solar path and the irradiation (direct and…
New research from France has compared the performance of Agrivoltaics in Spain and the Netherlands and have concluded that the first – a dry region with high solar radiation mirrors – offer more technical benefits compared to the last, characterized by abundant rainfall and lower solar radiation. May 14, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of researchers led by Sorbonne University in France has the performance of agrivoltaic systems in three different climates – dry, wet and climatological – analyzed over the Iberian Peninsula and the Netherlands and has discovered that dry areas such as Spain offer more technical benefits compared…
The American software provider Solesca presents new ways not to make the PV system available and relegation of the solar module. Engineers play a key role in this evolution and ensure more accurate and reliable energy statements for solar projects. May 14, 2025 Solesca For a long time, engineers have satisfied themselves with determining strict relegation and non -availability figures, often led by the recommendation of an independent engineer, and handed those assumptions to the financial team. I don’t say anymore! The designer and engineer of the Zonne -Array should have all energy numbers for the life of the system.…
