The pilot plant of the sand battery, which is being built in South Finland, will build on the existing technology of the startup and test the power of the energy storage system to convert heat back into electricity. May 1, 2025 Patrick Jowett The Finnish startup Polar Night Energy has announced a new pilot project that will test the next generation of its sand battery technology. The Sand Battery Pilot factory will build on the existing technology of the company, which stores thermal energy for industrial or district heating, and will be able to restore the stored thermal energy in…

Dutch-based Nowos is expanding its micro-mobility battery repair company to cover a wider range of batteries, because the demand for his service is growing in France, the Netherlands and the UK. It now adds new repair hubs in Poland and Germany. May 1, 2025 Valerie Thompson The Netherlands-based Nowos is expanding the range of lithium batteries that it repairs, in addition to adding new repair hubs in Poland and Germany, to meet the growing demand for its repair services. Initial focused on batteries used in lightweight urban electric vehicles or micro-mobility batteries, such as e-bikes, e-mopeds, and e-scooters, nowos has…

Ingeam has announced that it will show its latest developments in the Solar and Energy Storage sector in Intersolar Europe, including the most powerful central inverter in the company and its new modular inverter for batteries, including components available for the US Solar + Storage Market. In Munich, the company presents the most powerful version of its PV-Omverter, the new 5.4-MW Ingecon Sun 3Power C Plus series. This central inverter delivers 5,378 KVA in a single power block. Ingeam will bring this inverter to the market that is integrated into a full skid type medium voltage transformation station. The company…

Record Efficiency Milestone reached in Ecofriendly Organic Solar Technology As the global momentum builds up in the direction of solutions for sustainable energy, researchers have made a major breakthrough in solar technology by developing completely organic solar cells with the efficiency of records. In contrast to conventional solar cells of silicon or perovskiet, which form environmental hazards because of their metals and toxic components, these alternatives based on carbon cleansing and reduced costs. Under the leadership of Association Lecturer Masahiro Nakano of the Institute of Science and Engineering of the Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Reiko Co., Ltd. And Queen’s…

In honor of the Earth Month and in combination with the very first DC Climate Week, Washington, DC’s Department of Energy and Environment (Date) announced the expansion of the Solar for All (SFA) program, made possible via a $ 62.45 million subsidy prize from the EPAs $ 7 billion The price extends the benefits of solar energy to around 12,000 households with low and moderate income (LMI). The greenhouse gas reduction fund made possible by the inflation reduction law, wants to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and other air pollution and deliver cost savings on electrical accounts for overloaded…

OMV says that it has successfully started its 10 MW green hydrogen plant in the Schwechat refinery near Vienna, while the Austrian University TU Graz says that it has inaugurated a hydrogen electrolysis center on its Infeldgasse campus to develop and test hydrogen technologies. April 30, 2025 Sergio Matalucci OMV has announced the successful start-up of its 10 MW green hydrogen plant in the Schwechat refinery near Vienna, and calls it the largest installation of its kind in Austria. The Austrian oil and gas company said it invested € 25 million ($ 28.41 million) in the facility, which can produce…

Analysis of feed-in tariff scenarios in Central and Eastern Europe shows that although high feed-in rates are linked to the acceptance of residential solar sun, lower rates rather encourage battery installations. The study proposes a moderately low series of rates as a compromise to support both technologies. April 29, 2025 Patrick Jowett Homeowners in Central and Eastern Europe are encouraged to install solar energy and battery storage at different levels of feed-in rates, according to new research. The research paper “Decisions in Feed-In Tarif scenarios for stimulating clean technologies in Central and Eastern Europe”Available in Solar energyExplains that feed-in rates…

By contributing author April 29, 2025 By Vincent Fultz | Radianer Generation As the industry of the renewable energy accelerates-with the storage of solar and battery that is expected to be 81% of the new American electric-generating capacity in 2024 paints organizations how they manage enormous portfolios. SOL Systems, for example, manages its 7 GW portfolio of clean energy projects in North America, with precision and efficiency with the help of advanced asset management. This approach makes a quick response to operational changes possible, optimizes performance and offers tailor -made solutions for a wide range of customers, from commercial activities…

The LGA notes that 60% of the new houses have not installed solar energy. Image: Giorgio Trovero via Unsplash. A new report from the Local Government Association (LGA) has called for all the new build homes in the UK equipped with solar panels. The report entitled Local Climate Promotion Empowering: Advice to the governmentContains recommendations for how the British government and local authorities can build strong collaborations to achieve shared ambitions for responding to the threat of climate change. Under this is a call for a new future house and building stands to make it mandatory that all new houses…

Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT has developed a cleaning system for solar module that uses structure -transmitted sound and targeted mechanical vibrations to loosen dust. Researchers will present the technology in Intersolar Europe in Munich from 7 to 9 May. April 30, 2025 Patrick Jowett The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT has developed a new approach for cleaning large PV systems with the help of sound transmitted by structure. As part of the Aksore Research Project, the IDMT team worked on a process for automatic cleaning of solar modules using targeted mechanical vibrations. The technology uses…
