DSD -Refinable energy sources has concluded a master contract with a school project for the reduction of utility percentage (Spurr), a purchasing group for utility companies that represents public agencies such as schools, as the chosen developer partner for the renewable energy aggregated purchasing (REAP). Under this partnership, DSD will offer solutions for solar and energy storage to public school districts in California, provincial offices of education, community college districts and other public authorities based on the prices and contract conditions of Spurr. The REAP program helps eligible organizations to streamline their acceptance of solar and energy storage systems through…

Almost every state has already taken some action on its net measurement policy in the first three months of 2025, according to a report published by the NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC). Q1 2025 Policy promotion on net measurement, rate design and solar ownership. NC Clean Energy Technology Center The NCCETC has issued its Q1 2025 edition of “The 50 States of Solar Energy”A quarterly report that provides insights into the regulatory and legislative discussions and actions of the state and actions about distributed sun policy. It focuses on net measurement, distributed solar valuation, interconnection rules, community sun, residential…

From PV Magazine 4/25 President Donald Trump did not waste time to impose import tariffs, one of his most important campaign blows. In his first few weeks in office, the president renewed the rates of section 232 for Staal and Aluminium, under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Trump also used 1977’s International Emergency Powers Act (IEPA) to impose a new rate of 20% from China, plus 25% rates. Albeit. Albeit. Clean Energy Associates (CEA) do not expect the rates to have a significant impact on the solar or battery industry. However, behind the taxes, more powerful trade threats lurked.…

The result was confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy. April 18, 2025 Emiliano Bellini and Vincent Shaw The Chinese solar module manufacturer Longi has revealed that it has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 34.85% for a two-terminal tandem perovskiet solar cell. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy certified the result, which represents a world record for this cell typology. The previous record was held by Longi itself, which achieved efficiency of 34.6% for a device with the same configuration in September, when the manufacturer published…

New system offers early warning for dust storms to protect the solar power A new predictive platform called Idust is ready to transform the prediction of the dust storm and to improve solar energy production in dust-sensitive regions. Idust has been developed by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and offers fast, fast fabric forecasts with a high resolution that can help reduce the current losses on solar farms, especially in dry zones. The tool was founded under the leadership of Dr. Chen XI from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and detailed in the Journal of Advances in Modeling…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. April 18, 2025 Opis FOB China prices for Mono Percs waffles remained stable this week, with M10 and G12 waffles that were stable at $ 0.147/PC (each) and $ 0.210/PC respectively. FOB China prices for N-type waffles, on the other hand, experienced a decrease. N-type M10 waffles fell to $ 0.157/PC, while G12 waffles fell to $ 0.199/PC, which reflected the decreases from week to week of 0.63% and 1.49% respectively. The recent increase…

Rentt Battero’s new 392 AH Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) cell is an all -rounder, with the same size but increased energy density over a previously manufactured cell. April 18, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News Hong Kong-Gentered Reptbattero launched a new battery cell at the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2025) Last week in Beijing. Rucht Battero said his new 392AH battery cell, which is part of his brand of playing series cells, has an energy density of a maximum of 415 WH/l. Invoated as an “all-rounder” by the company, the new cell has a longer…

Researchers from ETH Zurich have patented a grid-forming inverter algorithm that stabilizes the frequency, while devices are protected against damage caused by independent frequency, voltage and power. April 18, 2025 Marian Willuhn By PV Magazine Germany A Swiss Research Institute Eth Zurich has set up a new algorithm for operating inverters in a scheduling mode. The patented algorithm works the inverter as a voltage source, which is crucial when short circuits and voltage drops complicated grid processing. Traditionally, power plants that use steam turbines to float and retain and retain a grid frequency of steam turbines to steam turbines to…

Today the city of Fresno Dept. or Public Utilities (DPU) in California A ceremony “Flip the Switch” performed to celebrate the completion of solar energy and battery storage projects at three locations: the Fresno-Clovis Regional waste water abnormality advertisement commercial facility and the southerneastern surface-watering facility facility. All three projects contain single-axis solar trackers. With a combined 27 MWDC In size (and 5.3 MWAC of storage), the DPU projects are expected to save more than $ 122 million in Ratepayer dollars by 2045. The 4.9 MW territory of solar energy and storage system in the Fresno Southeast Surface Water Treatment…

Pexapark registered a remarkable increase in Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) in March, where solar deals are good for almost 1.4 GW of total fame. April 18, 2025 Patrick Jowett European developers have signed 24 PPAS a total of 1,556 MW in March, according to the latest report from the Swiss research agency for renewable energy sources Pexapark. The result is an increase of 129% month by month February Volumes announced, but corresponds to the same amount of deals as the month earlier registered. Company PPAs were good for nearly two -thirds (62%) of the public -making volume in March, a…
