By Brad Kramer April 24, 2025 This edition of the Solar Financing Spotlight looks at AIP’s major investment in Silicon Ranch, while several other developers have closed on loans to support new projects. Let’s get right to it. AIP Management has agreed to invest $500 million in Silicon Ranch, one of the largest independent power producers (IPP) in the United States and a community-focused energy infrastructure company. The transaction reflects AIP’s conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the U.S. clean energy sector and marks its second investment in a renewables platform following a previous transaction in Europe. Founded in 2011…
In the US, saving money is the main reason to embrace solar energy Financial benefits, such as saving in the field of utility payments and avoiding increases in electricity interest, are an important engine of the willingness of American adults to consider installing solar panels on the roof or subscribing to community forces, suggests a new study. Researchers from Ohio State University carried out a national survey to gauge the perception of the consumer about the adoption of solar energy. Although work has previously investigated the views on solar energy on the roof, this study is the first assessment of…
The Portuguese company said that the new anti-Siling solution takes at least a year. It can be applied during routine cleaning operations by mixing it directly into the cleaning water. April 25, 2025 Lior Kahana Portuguese manufacturer of cleaning solutions for the PV industry Chemitek Solar has announced a new version of its antistatic pollution mitigation coating for panels. Dubrynchronized antistatic solar parsing 2.0, the product has a new formula that is said to ensure that panels remain cleaner for longer and reduces the need for frequent deer application. “We developed the new anti -static solar parsing 2.0, with the…
This is the eighth project for which Apurura has received permission in recent months. Image: Apurura. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) developer Apatura has received the planning permission for a new Bess project in Scotland. The Glasgow Road Bess is a development of 40 MW/80mWh in Eaglesham, East Renfrewshire. The eight -hectare site is approximately 23 miles from Glasgow and ten miles from East Kilbride. According to Apurura, the site will have native plants around the Bess units to increase biodiversity in the area and also to help the site mix in the surrounding countries. The Bess units are colored…
Swiss Startup Sun-Ways says it has activated what the world’s first removable Sun Factory calls on active railway tracks, with passenger trains that run over the installation of 18 kW from 28 April. April 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett Swiss Startup Sun-Ways is called in to a removable tanning factory that is installed on a functioning railway line in West-Switzerland. The array, invoiced as the world’s first course mounted solar factory open for railway traffic, is located in the Neuchâtel-Bergen and comprises 48 solar panels with a rated at 385 W each. The installation has a total output of 18 kW…
By SB staff April 24, 2025 Aspen Power This week a ceremony held to celebrate the completion of 10 new solar stands that contribute to the energy goals of Pennsylvania.

Scientists have developed a system that harvests rainwater from PV panels for the use of households or hydrogen production. Their analysis showed that the system in the southern Sahel can meet both energy and water requirements for electrolysis, where excess rainwater up to 50% of the daily water demand of a household. April 25, 2025 Lior Kahana A European team of researchers has proposed a system that rainwater harvests PV panels for the use of households or hydrogen production. “The combined water and energy shelter by PV-mini-grids can have the potential to increase water security by making more water available…
