By Brad Kramer April 2, 2025 Affordable Wire Management (AWM) has developed various new Bonsai module cable hangers for Array Technologies. AWM’s Bonsai Hangers-the industrial-prefered solutions for solar cord cables specially designed for Array’s Duratrack and Omnitrack Tracker systems and 400 mm Thru-Bolt-Klem. These adjusted Bonsai hangers route sign cables under the coupling tube to reduce shade and lead around bearings, while the risk of damage caused by environmental factors or system maintenance is minimized. As with AWM’s other product lines, Bonsai is manufactured with durable metal alloys, with optimum corrosion resistance, unparalleled strength and a lifespan of more than…
The European Union has launched a call of € 600 million ($ 662.6 million) for proposals to finance cross-border energy infrastructure projects that will connect or influence the energy systems of two or more Member States. The deadline for entries is September 16. April 4, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Guillaume Périgois, Unsplash The European Commission announced a call of € 600 million for proposals for cross-border energy infrastructure projects. The call focuses on Common Interest (PCIS) and projects of mutual importance (PMIs). PCIs are crucial infrastructure projects that link or influence energy systems in two or more EU countries, while…
Ameresco has completed the construction on a 1.2 MW of the solar-carport project at Killeen Regional Airport In Texas.

Loch Earba (photo) was chosen because of the ideal combination of topology and geology, image: Gilkes Energy/Earba storage Gilkes Energy has awarded the planning state for its Earba Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) schedule. The Earba PSH schedule is the largest project of its kind in the UK, with an installed capacity of 1.8 GW and a storage capacity of 40 GWH, which means that it can offer 22 hours of storage on full power. The planning application for the project was submitted to the Scottish government at the beginning of March 2024. The project will be located in Loch Earba…
An international research team has developed a new machine that uses shock waves to separate the different materials from a PV module. Chemical processes can be further used to extract silicon and silver. Results show the recovery of more than 99.5% of the original weight of the panels. April 4, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the AGH University of Krakow from Poland and Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (Seris) from Singapore have developed a new method for recycling crystalline silicon PV panels. Their findings show that the technology makes the electrohydraulic shock gull fragmentation (EHF) the recovery of more…
The manufacturer has expanded its Ecodan R290 -heat pump series with three new products. The systems use propane (R290) as the coolant and can supply supply power temperatures of up to 75 ° C. April 4, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Ecodan R290 heat pump Image: Mistubishi Electric Japanese electronics and production company Mitsubishi Electric equipment announced that it has expanded its Ecodan R290 -heat pump series with three new 8.5 kW, 10 kW and 12 kW models. “The new Ecodan models provide flow temperatures of up to 75 ° C, making them ideal for properties that cannot undergo extensive substances…
By PV Magazine USA From 5 April, the Trump administration has adopted the rates that apply to most countries with a rate of 10%. The rates apply to a wide range of imports, which cover most products. The rates are replaced by a higher “reciprocal” rate between 11% and 50% to 60 countries from 9 April and are designed to match rates and related commercial enforcement from 60 countries. The extra rates do not apply to “energy and energy products”, as well as steel and aluminum, which recently applied 25% rates in February. “Large and continuing annual US trade shortages…
Spacelis develops lightweight, rollable space quality perovskiet-organic tandem solar PV technology aimed at space and terrestrial portable energy applications. April 2, 2025 Valerie Thompson Spacelis, a starting company based in Ankara, Turkey, develops lightweight, rollable space quality perovskiet-organic tandem solar technology for space travel, field communication and unmanned system applications. “Spacelis’ own technology makes up to 50% weight reduction possible compared to conventional space quality solar modules made of organic and organic-an organic hybrid semiconductant materials, with lower production and launching costs,” Guler Kocak, founder of Spacelis and CEO, told, told PV Magazine, Add to that such panels are “very…
