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.…
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…
