By SB staff April 8, 2025 Omco Solar celebrates project 100 with industrial partners Coldwell Solar and Sunstall. This announcement comes together after completing 100 solar energy projects for both fixed tilt and tracker projects. In the past six years, Omco Solar, Sunstall and Coldwell Solar have used solar installations in various fields. The completed projects include a series of applications, which shows the versatility and reliability of the Omco Solar Montaining and Tracker solutions factory settings. “This milestone of 100 projects means a powerful synergy between Sunstall, Omco and Coldwell Solar,” said Helge Biernath, President and CEO of SunstallThat…
Castillo Engineering And Northern energy (NSE) have received three new community projects in Kinderhook, Wilton and East Greenbush, New York. Awarded by developer SeaboardThese projects a total of 31.49 MWDC and will generate local renewable electricity for thousands of houses. Credit: Castillo Engineering This portfolio of projects follows the successful commissioning of the 5-MW Troy project, which Castillo Engineering and NSE together are completed from the first design to the latest connections. “New York continues to be at the forefront of community solar, and we are proud to contribute to that growth with Northern Sun Energy and Seaboard Solar,” said…
Artisun Solar Recently completed two solar projects for Steel & Pipe Supply Co. In Catoosa, Oklahoma. The two projects on the roof consist of a 1.25-MW system on Fort Gibson Road and a system of 950 kW on Bird Creek Avenue. “This project is an important step forward for renewable energy in Oklahoma,” said Kirk Kreisel, CEO of Artisun Solar. “Working with a progressive company such as Steel & Pipe Supply is an honor. Together we demonstrate the economic and operational benefits of solar energy while freeing the way for future developments in this region.” “This project is proof of…
Lithuania added a record capacity in 2024 and pushed cumulative installations to almost 2 GW, largely powered by residential systems and a favorable regulatory framework. April 9, 2025 Patrick Jowett Lithuania added 870 MW Solar in 2024, established a new calendar year record and surpassed the 572 MW installed in 2022 and 536 MW in 2023. The additions raised the total solar capacity of Lithuania to more than 1.97 GW, including almost 1.4 GW residential solar sun and 583 MW capacity on utility scale. Juras Ulbikas, research director at the Vilnius -based Applied Research Institute for Prospective Technologies, and Vitas…
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee (Fraunhofer Isee) has shown that the current UV test methods overestim the demolition in tunnel oxide -passivated contact (topcon) solar modules, because dark storage after UV exposure is temporary efficient losses. April 9, 2025 Ralph Diermann By PV Magazine Germany In 2024, researchers from Fraunhofer Isee analyzed the stability of Topcon, Passivated Emitter and Achter Cell (PERC) and heterojunction solar cells under UV -existing radiation and discovered that all three cell technologies can suffer considerable losses in implicit tension and efficiency. Practical experience has confirmed this finding. With that in mind, other Fraunhofer…
Fincantieri says that the world’s first hydrogen-driven cruise ship is building for delivery at the end of 2026, while Coca-Cola Bottelaars Japan says it will debut the first hydrogen machine in the world at the Kansai Expo this year. April 9, 2025 Sergio Matalucci Fintieri Said that the world’s first hydrogen -driven cruise ship is building, the ‘Viking Libra’, which will be able to generate electricity and propulsion on board with the help of hydrogen stored on board. The ship, under construction on the Fincantieri Ancona Shipyard, is planned for delivery at the end of 2026 and can accommodate up…
The exclusive license agreement relates to the production or sale of PVSKITE PV products for the Chinese market. A statement from Oxford PV says that the agreement “the consensus of the industry underlines that Perovskite-based PV technologies are the future of solar energy.” April 9, 2025 Patrick Jowett Perovskite Solar Specialist Oxford PV has signed a patent permit agreement with the Chinese module manufacturer Trina Solar. The agreement includes the production and sale of Fotovoltaic products based on Perovoltaic in China and includes an extra right to sublicense. Oxford PV claims to be a market leader in Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar…
By SB staff April 8, 2025 XL batteries has successfully given the first fully integrated commercial commissioned Organic stream battery As part of a pilot project in Texas. In collaboration with Stolthaven -TerminalsA global provider of storage services for bulk fluids and gases, this paid pilot project is the first deployment of XL’s innovative long -term energy storage (LDES) technology and confirms commercial viability. As the urgency for American energy security grows, the limitations of current energy sources become increasingly clear. Cost-effective, safe LDS solutions are essential for energy benefits on the grid, but existing battery technologies are duration, geographically…
The UK currently only has four LDES projects online, including Cruachan Dam (photo). Image: Drax. The Energy Regulator of Geem from the VK has launched a new Cap and Floor Investment Support Scheme in an attempt to unlock billions in financing for new long -term electricity storage (LDES) projects. The launch of the scheme is the end of a collaboration process between the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz), the National Energy System Operator (NESO) and OFGEM, which started in October with the confirmation that that An arrangement that has been discussed in recent years It would be…
Indian manufacturers built 25.3 GW in 2024 on production capacity of solar module and brought the capacity of the country to 90.9 GW from December 31, 2024. April 9, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India India added 25.3 GW solar module and 11.6 GW cell production capacity in calendar year 2024, according to the recently released “State of Solar PV production in India 2025”. The question of Pipeline Solar Projects and the return of the approved list of models and manufacturers (ALMM) order in April 2024 mainly ran the capacity increase. The Almm limited by the government supported projects…
