Sunrun today introduced a solution for solar energy and batteries that is designed to adapt to the changing energy needs of customers – Sunrun Flex. Sunrun Flex is a smarter way to design solar energy for houses with protection against increased energy consumption against life events, such as growing a family or buying an electric vehicle. Customers enjoy a predictable monthly minimum payment, while only paying for extra energy above their pre-solar consumption basis when they use it with a low, locked flex speed. Flex -households also benefit from batteryback -up during malfunctions and the exclusive opportunity to earn Sunrun…
The Germany of Test Equipment based in Germany has launched mini-module test equipment aimed at researchers working on scaling perovskiet solar cell technology, thin film devices and on wafer-based PV. May 7, 2025 Valerie Thompson The Wavelabs Mini module Tester Sinus-1000 Advanced Image: Wavelabs Wavelabs, a supplier of test equipment for PV production lines, has launched a new mini-module tester that is aimed at researchers who scale up on Wafers-based and thin film technologies, in particular perovskites.

Longi has developed the Hi-MO S10, a residential heterojunction (HJT) return contact solar module with 25% efficiency, which combines 27.6% efficient cells with a maximum of 510 W-output and 252.3 W/m² of power density. May 7, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Chinese solar module manufacturer Longi has unveiled a new Bifacial N-Type HJT zone module based on Back-Contact Architecture on the Smarter-E Trade Show in Munich, Germany. “This is the first time that heterojunction is successfully implemented in a commercialized module,” the manufacturer said in a statement. “The Hi-MO S10 delivers a world-leading cell efficiency of 27.6% and a module efficiency…
Microgrids go to church in Georgia. The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Sixth District has developed a groundbreaking renewable energy program to create microgrids in churches in the entire state. The initiative starts with a goal to install five systems in 2026. Consisting of all Ame churches in the state of Georgia -482 church locations that can ultimately use microgrids to stimulate the resilience of the community and energy independence -marks the initiative of the sixth district an important step in the continuous dedication of the Ame -Church to the Environment Management. Since 2023, the sixth district has been developing…
The Chinese shift of the renewable energy is confronted with challenges on sustainability The ambitious transition from China to renewable energy, intended to reduce its carbon footprint and to stimulate sustainable growth, can undermine its own development goals in the long term, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. The research, published in the Journal Energy Economics, assessed the effectiveness of the Chinese plan for Clean Energy Accommodation (PCEA) from 2018 to 2020, with 281 prefectures. The findings suggest that the fast push to cleaner energy paradoxically has reduced the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) – a…
Chipotle Mexican Grill has concluded an agreement with Nexamp to take into account renewable energy bills to support the construction and operation of 15 new community sages that generate 75 MW in Illinois, New York, Maryland and Maine. According to the agreement, Chipotle Credits receives associated with 20 MW of the portfolio of projects, while the remaining 55 MW will make hundreds of thousands of savings to around 9,000 families, non-profit organizations and other companies on those markets. By committing itself as a long -term subscriber for the credits generated by these projects, the investment of Chipotle makes the design,…

The manufacturer established in the Netherlands focuses on older PV arrays with at home with his M-ELV product, for which no replacement of solar artists is required. May 7, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News The Amsterdam Renewable Company, based in Amsterdam, offers owners of older residential photovoltaic systems a new way to put a battery afterwards afterwards. The M-ELV battery, which eliminates the need to replace existing inverters, is particularly aimed at systems that were built about 10 years ago, when the storage of house energy was scarce. The system is designed to have compatibility with universal inverter. The…

Robin takes offers to sell its groundbreaking Autonomous robot solution for photovoltaic (PV) installation of solar module. The move follows a successful live demonstration of his three-part robot solution at a large-scale solar project under construction in West-Texas. During the event of April 17 near Abilene, the robot system of Rossendin proved that it could accelerate the construction of the utility scale on the solar scale, while it would improve the safety of employees and resolves persistent labor shortages. Industrial leaders watched while the system carried out autonomous operating maneuvers, obstacles detected with the help of Lidar and positioned panels…
