Nex trackerA Solar Tracker company, has taken over the US Bentek Corporation, a manufacturer of electrical infrastructure that is used in all types of solar energy plants. The all-cash transaction of approximately $ 78 million combines Bentek’s developed, pre-mounted electrical balance of systems (EBOs) solutions with Nexpracker’s Solar Tracker platform, which offer customers purchasing and project logistics of a single source. The EBOS products are offered as independent, industrial compatible components for both trackers and fixed tilt systems, and optimized in formats for use in integrated system solutions for NX Horizon-one of the NexTracker tracker offers. “It is fantastic to…

A Massachusetts Community Solar Farm managed by Perch Energy. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey de Energy payability, Independence and Innovation Act In a stated attempt to save costs for residents and companies. The bill focuses on the solar industry in a few ways. Firstly, it would enable the Energy Sources (Doer) department of the State to enter into contracts for new purchasing of clean energy instead of having to be facilitated by a usefulness of use. The legislation would also require Massachusetts tools to update their interconnection processes to reduce the time and costs for customers to connect their solar projects…

The wind and solar capacity of China rose to 1,482 GW in the first quarter of 2025, whereby coals caught coal for the first time, powered by 59.7 GW of new PV additions, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA). May 14, 2025 Vincent Shaw China’s Nea The domestic demand remained strong despite weaker exports. The nation added 59.7 GW new PV capacity in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 30.5% compared to a year earlier. For the first time in history, the total installed wind and solar energy capacity reached 1.482 GW, which exceeds the capacity of…

The Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund says that the April output is by 10.2% lower than prediction in its Japanese portfolio due to raised grid -restrictions, especially on the island of Kyushu. May 14, 2025 Brian Publicover The Canadian Solar Infrastructure Fund registered a shortage in April in the Electricity generation of April in its 33 solar assets in Japan. It mentioned an increase in the defendant percentages due to transmission operators as the most important factor behind the underperformance. The fund said it generated 24.7 GWH in April, 10.2% under the prediction of 27.5 GWH based on P50 projections. This…

AXPO has started to arrange a 2.5 MW hydrogen production facility (HPF) in Switzerland remotely, while Statkraft says that the new green hydrogen projects will stop in the midst of market uncertainty. May 14, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Axpo Test the remote control of a fully automated hydrogen project in Switzerland. “After the test operation has been completed, we will step -by -step transition to an unmanned factory operation,” the Swiss company told an unmanned factory PV -MagazineExplain that the project remains challenging. “Enerzijds moeten de sensorgegevens van de plant continu en automatisch worden gecontroleerd om ervoor te zorgen dat de…

Dongguk University researchers develop scalable zinc-ion battery technology for industrial use A Dongguk University research team, led by Association Lecter Geon-Hyoung An of the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering, has introduced a promising alternative for traditional lithium ion batteries for industrial energy storage. Their work, recently published in the Journal Advanced Energy Materials, is investigating the use of stainless steel foil (G@SSF-400) as the current collector for zinc ion batteries. In contrast to conventional lithium ion systems, which form significant fire risks and high costs, zinc ion batteries based on water-based electrolytes offer a safer, more cost-effective and environmentally…

At Intersolar Europe in Munich, various companies presented their concepts for powerful Perovskite Tandem Photovoltaïschens. The first modules are expected to be available in the second half of the year. The different approaches by manufacturers are clear. May 14, 2025 Cornelia Lichner By PV Magazine Germany Anyone who ran with his eyes open through the corridors of the Intersolar Europe in Munich could, in addition to standard module technologies such as Topcon and Heterojunction, double-sided and with back contacts, other modules that are not in line with the mainstream and are currently waiting for a breakthrough. Particularly striking were the…

Kintore Bess from Alcemi will be demanded in collaboration with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through his flagship funds. Image: Alcemi. Scottish ministers in the Energy Complex unit have approved an application of energy storage developer Alcemi for a 300 MW Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) in Aberdenshire, Scotland. The transmission-bound Kintore Bess is located on a brownfield site of 5.7 hectares on the edge of the existing Midmill Business Park, 1.5 km south of Kintore and 2.8 km east of the Kintore substation. After approval, Alcemi has a pipeline of 1,800 MW battery storage with building permit in Scotland. UK-wide,…

Since PV and wind energy plants caused a considerable oversupply on 11 May, the electricity price decreased to a low point of minus € 250 per megawatt hours. Charging PV storage systems or electric cars during these hours thus generated income for customers with dynamic electricity rates between noon and 3 p.m. May 14, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt On 11 May, the day prize peaked at minus € 250.32 per megawatt hours.
