The system is available in three versions with a cooling capacity of 9 BTU/H, 12 BTU/H…
Arevon Energy organized a groundbreaking event for its 430 MWDC Kelso 1 & 2 Solar projects in Scott County, Missouri. Arevon will possess and exploit the long -term projects, whereby the first phase is expected to achieve commercial activities by the end of 2025 and the second phase is estimated to start activities in the first quarter of 2026. Kelso Solar is the first utility programs on Nuts scale renewable energy project in Missouri. The development and construction of the project of more than $ 500 million have resulted in a significant increase in economic activity in Scott County and…
In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that strong jet stream and eastern storms in April are splitting solar conditions into the US, with the east experiencing a decline in solar radiation, while the northwest saw radiation profits. May 2, 2025 Dissolved A strong jet stream and eastern storms have splitting solar conditions in the US. According to analysis using the Solcast APISolar conditions were considerably depressed in the eastern US due to persistent storm activity, while the northwest saw clear skies and irradiation in addition to unusually cool temperatures. In the eastern US, a…

Scientists have analyzed whether the planting of grasses and clover under solar panels can increase the organic carbon of the soil, after measuring the results of a commercial plant in Japan. They tested more than 20 areas in the power plant and discovered that the organic carbon of the soil increased. May 2, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have studied whether planting grasses and clover under solar panels can increase the organic carbon of the soil (SOC). “This research is new by laying a scientific basis for potential carbon credits,” emphasized the corresponding author Michiyuki Yagi…

Seven from Turkey says that his new product can measure radiation in a range of 0 W/m² to 4,000 W/m², with a resolution of 0.1 W/m². It can also measure the humidity and temperature. May 1, 2025 Lior Kahana The sensor manufacturer of Turkey has introduced a new Thermopile pyranometer for the monitoring of solar radiation in PV plants, meteorological stations and research. It has a radiation range of 0 W/m² to 4,000 W/m², with a resolution of 0.1 W/m². The spectral error is reportedly approximately 0.2%. It measures both global horizontal radiation (GHI) and the plane of Array (POA)…
Cooling and refrigeration account for approximately 17% of global electricity consumption. That’s more energy than the entire continent of Africa uses for all purposes combined. As temperatures rise globally, our reliance on cooling technologies grows, placing an enormous strain on power grids and contributing to carbon emissions worldwide. The intersection of solar power and cryogenics is one of the most promising frontiers in renewable energy applications. Traditional cooling systems are notorious energy consumers, but recent innovations are changing this paradigm through the integration of solar power with advanced cooling technologies. Solar-powered cryogenics combines photovoltaic or solar thermal technology with cooling…
Swift Current Energy has brought its 800 MWDC Double Black Diamond Solar Project Online in Illinois. The project is 30 miles west of Springfield and is the largest operational solar facility east of the Mississippi River. Swift Current Energy joined project customers and local leaders to celebrate the start of the activities for double black diamonds of solar energy. Photocredit: Patrick Pyszka, city of Chicago This week Swift Current held a ribbon cutting ceremony on the project site, an event attended by Chicago Burgemeester Brandon Johnson and other government and business officers. The city of Chicago is one of the…
A solar project in Ohio by EDF renewable energy sources. The Senate of Ohio has unanimously approved a state’s energy policy via House account 15 On April 30, 2025, and the Ohio House later agreed on the same day by a vote from 94 to 2. The legislation is now going to GOV. Mike Dewine for his approval. An earlier version of the bill contained a Community Energy Pilot program that would have included Solar, but that provision did not come to the latest legislation. HB 15, together with his accompanying bill, Senate Bill 2, proposed wholesale changes in Ohio’s…
