In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that South Brazil and the Northern Andes were radiation hot spots in March and placed anomalies as high as 30% above the climatic average. The increase came despite intense rainfall that caused floods in other parts of South America. April 25, 2025 Dissolved March in South America supplied well above the average irradiation for solar producers in the solar-tight southeastern states in Brazil. The majority of Brazil, in addition to North -South America, benefited from increased radiation, despite persistent convective rain systems that dump above the average rainfall…

An international research team has created a new model that finds the best tilt corner for bifacial PV plants in the south throughout Europe. The scientists also considered the Alpine area to investigate the impact of Bergen on optimum tilting corners. April 23, 2025 Lior Kahana A team of researchers from France and Italy has developed a tool for optimizing tilting angles in bifacial PV energy plants throughout Europe. They have made the tool available for free on one Web -based platformSaying that it could be very valuable for local authorities, developers and decision makers when assessing the feasibility of…

China’s Catl launches new EV -Natrium battery The Chinese battery giant Catl has launched a new sodium ion battery on Monday that will restructure according to the electric car industry, and a new system to combine two battery technologies in one car. The company produces more than a third of all worldwide batteries of electric vehicles (EV) and works with major brands, including Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen. Sodium batteries are seen as a cheaper and in some respects safer alternative to the lithium ion batteries used on a large scale in both electronics and electric vehicles, but form a…

Martin Schachinger, founder of PVXCHANGE.COM, says that the European PV market was not affected by the disruptive effects of the new tariff policy of the Trump administration. April 23, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com The prices of solar module in Europe rose slightly in April, but this only reflects a trend that is already expected and announced at the start of the year.

If farms are renovating washed or supporting Solar Power MSU research, both supports both Farmers who are confronted with the difficult decision whether or not to devote it to agriculture or solar energy, according to new findings from Michigan State University. Research led by graduate student Jake Stid of MSU’s College of Natural Science Hydrogeology Lab suggests that combining both practices can improve financial stability without jeopardizing food production. Stid’s study, shown in the sustainability of nature, analyzed 25 years of trends in land use in California with the help of aerial images and teledetecture data. By evaluating income and…
