April 24, 2025 Uma Gupta Kosol Energie’s Sun Plus series Bifacial N-Type Topcon Solar Module Image: PV Magazine By PV Magazine India The Kosol Energie from India has launched its Sun Plus series N-Type Topcon-Zonne modules with power output ranging from 585 W to 620 W and efficiency between 22.65% and 24%. Under standard test conditions (STC), the open circuit voltage varies from 51.08 V to 52.18 V…
The Return Return Return of the Dutch Energy has started to build the 100 MW/200 MWh Battery Energy storage system in Waddinxveen, which will be the first project of the size to connect to the high-voltage network toes in 2026. April 24, 2025 Mariha Maisch By ESS News Return has launched construction works on the 100 MW / 200 MWH Antares Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) in Waddinxveen, in Western Netherlands. The project will go live in mid -2026 and play a crucial role in stabilizing the Dutch grid. Once the assignment is given, the Antares project will be the…
A team of researchers based in Japan and Sweden has found a link between higher feed-in rates and increased capital expenditure of solar projects in Japan. They suggest that this may have led to a lack of incentive for developers to innovate or lower costs, in turn increase expenses and to hinder the long -term competitiveness. April 24, 2025 Patrick Jowett An international research team has linked higher feed-in rates (Fits) Japan To higher levels of capital expenditure (Capex) in solar projects. The research paper, “How high feed-in rates have influenced the capital costs of solar PV in Japan”Available in…
OFF-GRID solar investments fell by 30% in 2024, with hardest business and technology technology hardest, says Gogla. The Global Association for the off-grid solar energy industry adds that upscaling has attracted 77% of the invested almost $ 300 million, indicating a stronger commercial viability in adult players. April 24, 2025 Patrick Jowett The total investments in off-grid sun companies in 2024 achieved almost $ 300 million, according to Gogla, the Global Association for the off-grid solar energy industry. The 2024 investment database showed a decrease of 30% compared to 2023. Gogla said that the recession was the most difficult at…
Beekeeping and solar energy are a natural match, working together to support agriculture and environmental sustainability. As beekeepers face challenges like habitat loss, climate change, and rising energy costs, solar power offers a reliable and eco-friendly solution. With the ability to power hive monitoring systems, honey extraction equipment, and protective fencing—especially in remote areas where electricity is scarce—solar energy is revolutionizing modern beekeeping. By harnessing the sun’s power, beekeepers can create more efficient, self-sustaining operations that benefit both their hives and the planet. The integration of solar technology into beekeeping practices has gained momentum in recent years. Across the world…
The Tri County Community Solar Array in Delanco, New Jersey – developed by Soltage. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has approved an expansion of New Jersey’s Community Solar Energy Program (CSEP) by opening a 250 MW capacity block. Since the first capacity allocation of the CSEP in November 2023, more than 500 MW of the community projects in the entire state have registered in the program. “The National Solar Energy program of New Jersey has and will continue to deliver millions in cost savings for those participating,” said Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president of the New Jersey Board of…
Breakthrough in organic radical crystals increases solar energy-to-electricity technology Recent innovations in the Technology for Thermo -Electric Generator (STEG) of the solar energy have the opportunity to convert sunlight into electricity, promising applications in areas such as portable devices, the internet of things and personalized climate control considerably converted. Central to these developments is the strategic refinement of thermo -electric materials, device architecture and heat management techniques. Under the range of materials investigated, photothermal substances have emerged as particularly promising for facilitating the temperature differences that are crucial for efficient power generation. These materials include carbon-based connections, metal oxides, polymers…
A community installation on the community on a New Jersey warehouse roof of Solar Landscape. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has the opening of the Third invitation of the Competitive Solar Incentive (CSI) programAn existing program that is designed to reduce the costs of solar development and to encourage grid and other qualifying solar projects in New Jersey. The board has established the third application for the CSI program to open on 14 May 2025 for pre-qualification and close to bids on July 23, 2025. CSI has helped to considerably increase the amount of solar energy in…
Enphase Energy has posted $ 356.1 million in income for the first quarter of 2025, which falls short of expectations. The provider of the microinverter and the battery storage says that it has reduced its margin for views due to the rising rate pressure. April 24, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Enphase Energy has reported its income from the first quarter of 2025, and lacks the expectations of Wall Street for income. It booked $ 356.1 million in income for the first quarter, under expectations of $ 362 million. The specialist of Micro -Omsterer and storage solutions sent…
