Will White, Solar Application Specialist at Fluke Corporation, focuses on the important qualities of contemporary assembly and rack systems in solar installations. April 8, 2025 Will be white By PV Magazine USA The Solar Market of the United States remains its rapid expansion, with 2024 that marks a year of considerable growth. Almost 50 GW The solar capacity was installed – an increase of 21% compared to the previous year. This upward process is expected to continue until 2025 and then, whereby the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is predicted that the nation will reach 500 GW of installed solar…
Analysts see negative effects across the board, but EV and battery energy storage industries seem particularly vulnerable to the radical rates of US President Donald Trump. April 8, 2025 Mariha Maisch Image: Official photo of the White House by Shealah Craighead By ESS News In one of the greatest shakups in global trade in history, President Donald Trump has declared radical taxes on American trading partners around the world. The new American import rates, including a basic line of 10% on all goods and higher rates for important trading partners, such as China, Malaysia and Vietnam, is expected to have…
Fraunhofer ISE and German weather protection specialist Vöhringer test an Agrivoltaic system that uses existing crop cover structures to support solar modules, eliminating the need for a special mounting system. April 8, 2025 Jochen Siemer By PV Magazine Germany Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee and weather protection specialist Vöhringer test an unconventional Agrivoltaic system on a cherry orchard in Upper Swabia, Germany. The system is intended to reduce the costs of Agrivoltaïschen. Typical Agrivoltaic setups for fruit growing require steel substances that must be built on open, unused land or installed between existing trees or bushes – often…

The minister states that this is the only change that is planning to be applied to CPAP. Image: National Grid. Energy Minister Michael Shanks has written the heads of the National Energy System Operator (NESO) and OFEM to tackle concerns about solar capacities in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan (CPAP). After criticism that the solar capacity in the Clean Power 2030 plan was based on “outdated” assumptions, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) has published an updated version of the Connections Reform Annex of the CPAP. The Department stated that this is “to tackle a wrong…
Supported by the Our Solar PA coalition, organized work and industrial groups, the legislators of Pennsylvania HB 1155 introduced, who will authorize community programs throughout the state. Legislation will promote local economic development, improve energy reliability and reduce energy costs. This bill, introduced by Rep. Peter Schweyer (D-134), accurately reflects the legislation passed through the house in 2024 With strong dual support. The Our Solar PA Coalition, which units of 36 organizations from the entire state represents in pleading for a people-first community Solar Program, celebrated the inclusion of many of its priorities in the bill, including guaranteed savings for…
Researchers have developed a three-step technique to estimate the loss of power generation in floating PV farms as a result of changes in tilting and mismatch losses. The new module was tested in an experimental arrangement and showed that electricity losses are mainly dependent on both system design and location. April 7, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists led by Norway Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) has developed a new model for golf-induced loss (WIL) of Floating Photovoltaics (FPV). The model consists of three head steps, namely wave structure interaction, radiation and electric modeling. “For FPV systems, if present,…

Enzygo has announced that it successfully protected the building permit for a 200 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on behalf of Energi Generation. The building permit was granted by Lancaster City Council for the Heysham Bess project, based in Heysham, Lancashire. The application was submitted in August last year by Enzygo, a well -known planning consultancy firm, on behalf of developer Energi Generation. Enzygo collaborated with the Lancaster city council and was able to secure a planning condition of 5 years instead of the standard 3 -year implementation…
