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 4, 2025 Opis The Global Polysilicon Marker (GPM), the OPIS -Benchmark for Polysilicon produced outside China, was assessed this week at $ 20,260/kg, or $ 0.046/w. The global polysilicon market remains stable, without significant changes in buying and selling dynamics. The average operational percentage of global polysilicon production is around 60%, with a total monthly output of around 6000 MT, according to market sources. However, the turnover is mainly driven by three to…

By PV -Magazine 03/25 The hydrogen economy is complex. With photovoltaisies that are largely devoted to the direct on electricity networks, solar energy-driven hydrogen is generally planned in remote areas with excessive renewable energy. Further steps of the hype requires concept where hydrogen is essential for the energy transition. Government hydrogen strategies often identify green hydrogen as crucial for carbonated shipping, aviation, some long-term road transport, ammonia and steel production and other industrial processes. China also regards hydrogen as essential for long -term energy storage (LDES). Hydrogen hyperbole The last six years has brought what the European Hydrogen Association H2UB…

The Chinese manufacturer said that the new bifacial module has a thicker 35 mm frame and 2.5 mm fully tempered glass on both sides. It has a power conversion -efficiency of 23.3% and a temperature coefficient of -0.29%/C. April 4, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Chinese-Canadian solar module manufacturer Canadian solar sun has unveiled a new bifacial topcon-sun panel with anti-Hail technology. ‘The new Module is part of our CS6.2 series using 182 mm Pro cells, ”said a company spokesperson told PV -Magazine. “The anti-Hail variant is designed for sites that are susceptible to hailstorm or asset owners who are concerned…

The International Energy Agency (IEA) warns that energy innovation slows down as shifting priorities and financing changes, despite earlier investments that stimulate economic and security gains. April 4, 2025 Patrick Jowett Investment in global energy innovation loses the momentum, according to a new report from the IEA. The “The State of Energy InnovationThe report emphasizes a delay in technological progress as a result of shifts in financing and policy priorities, the IEA said, despite the fact that innovation remains crucial for national energy strategies. The report noted that innovation activity has steadily increased in recent years, with public and business…

Nature’s Generator has released a new energy storage system for residential setups: Mygrid 10k. The system uses lithium-iron phosphate batteries and has a capacity of 10.5 kWh. With a capacity of 10 kW, the Mygrid 10K has a warranty of 6000 Lifecycle. “The 10K system of the entire house only starts at $ 5,999.99,” said Lawrence Zhou, CEO of Nature’s Generator. “Mygrid 10K is plug and play, movable, compatible with existing solar installations, perfect for both homeowners and tenants.” The Mygrid 10K can be expanded to 20 kW Continue-Power-Output and 140 kWh capacity, News item from the Nature Generator Source…

The Chinese polysilicium and solar module manufacturer says that the current annual capacity is 480,000 tons (MT). April 4, 2025 Vincent Shaw and Valerie Thompson GCL technology Said that it was a net loss of CNY 4.75 billion included on CNY 15.1 billion in income for the year ending on December 31, 2024, compared to the turnover of CNY 33.7 billion and a net profit of CNY 2.51 billion in the previous year. The company completed its switch to…

Researchers from Cornell University in the US have developed a new optimization model for the design and benefits of the Agrivoltaic site, which was demonstrated using irrigation optimization compared to economic and environmental goals. April 4, 2025 Valerie Thompson Aware of the potential of co-locks of food crops with solar panels and the potential for conflicting objectives of the selection and design of the Agrivoltaic sites, researchers from Cornell University in the United States have developed a new optimization model. To demonstrate the technology, they have applied it to the solar energy plants of Cornell University and the nearby agricultural…

The Chinese Jeseng Group has started building 5 GW Zonne -Zon in three projects in a coal mine zone zone in North China, with an investment of $ 2.3 billion. The projects, reinforced by 2 GW thermal ability and 3.4 GWh of energy storage, will supply 9.3 TWH of clean electricity per year. April 4, 2025 Vincent Shaw Jinneng Group, one of the largest energy companies in the Shanxi province, broke grounds on three large-scale photovoltaic projects with a combined installed capacity of 5 GW in the coal-mining areas of Datong, Noord-Shanxi. The total investment for the projects is estimated…

Imagine if every surface around you silently powering our world. The paint on your house, the coating on your car, and even the finish on your fence – all working to generate clean electricity. This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie. It’s the revolutionary potential of solar paint technology. Traditional solar energy has already changed how we think about power generation. But solar paint takes this concept further by transforming ordinary surfaces into energy-producing assets. It’s an innovation that could reshape our approach to sustainable energy from the ground up. The implications stretch far beyond residential use. Office buildings…

A 3D Render from the Wity Place Bess. Image: Root-Power. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer Root-Power has received a building permit for a new BES of 50 MW/100MWH in Reading. The Wity Place Bess is located in Silchester. It was chosen because it was ideally placed close to Bramley station, which is less than 500 meters away from the site and was recently strengthened as part of a long-term development strategy for the local network. The project is located on Green Belt-Land and Root-Power states that it has worked to ensure that the development visually maintains the surrounding agricultural…
