The US Department of Trade dramatically increased rates for the import of Chinese solar producers who are active in Vietnam after the Agency concluded that China subsidizes raw materials that companies can use in their Vietnamese factories. March 25, 2025 Ben Santarris By PV Magazine USA The US Department of Commerce reports that the incorrect cross -border subsidies from China has discovered to curb the costs of the solar technology factories in Vietnam, so that the agency has encouraged to revise the proposed tasks about the US import of them drastically and upwards, according to the recently worked provision of…

Chile’s Economic Development Agency Corfo has selected three companies – two Chinese and one Spanish – to build the production facilities of Electrolyzer in the country. The projects, set up to start with operations against mid -2026, will put together alkaline and proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers from 50 kW to 5 MW. March 25, 2025 Sergio Matalucci CorfoChile’s Economic Development Agency, said it selected three companies – two Chinese and one Spanish – to set up the production facilities of Electrolyzer in the country. The Beijing Sinohyenergy Project will compile Alkaline electrolyzers with capacities of 2.5 MW and 5…

German researchers have discovered that most of the subsidies needed to achieve the objectives of the renewable energy enforcement of the country have been paid, with an estimated 80% to 90% of the subsidies for units in use. The costs of newer renewable energy sources have decreased and are often competitive with reimbursements from the wholesale market. March 25, 2025 Valerie Thompson In a recently published quantitative study, researchers from the Brandenburg University of Technology in Germany reported that the “majority of subsidies” needed to reach the costs related to the Renewable Energy Sources Act, the so -called EEG, already…

Akuo, based in France, currently has a 1.9 GW portfolio for renewable energy installations. March 25, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Image: Avi Waxman, Unsplash Private Equity company Ardian Infrastructure, based in France, has agreed to acquire the French independent electricity producer Akuo for an unknown amount. “Thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit and constant dedication to innovation, the production and storage capacity of AKUO is expected to be reached by the end of 2024 1.9 GW, with the objective of reaching 5 GW by 2030,” Ardian said in a statement, and noted that the statement Transaction must be approved by Relevant regulatory…

An Italian research team has discovered that Radicchio seedlings grew in a lab-baffling greenhouse with a perovson-PV-Dak-Dak faster growth and larger leaves showed than the bald glass reference. In addition, simulations of such a PV roof revealed a positive energy balance, which meets the energy needs of a typical greenhouse in Italy. March 25, 2025 Valerie Thompson Italian researchers compared the effects of a semi-transparent Perovskiet-Sonne-PV, based on Europe-enriched Cesium Lead Triiodide (CSPBI3: EUI2), with a bare glass reference in a lab-baffling green-son-zonne-Zonne-PV-experiment. The results showed that, despite the reduced exposure to light, Radicchio seedlings showed faster growth and larger…

The world’s largest manufacturer of rolling equipment says that its new container storage system LFP cells used with a capacity of 3.2 V/314 AH. The system also has a DC voltage range from 1,081.6 V to 1,497.6 V. March 25, 2025 Lior Kahana By ESS News Rolling material manufacturer CRRC, based in China, has launched a 5 MWH battery storage system that uses liquid cooling for thermal management. “The use of efficient thermal management technology enables the system to achieve an extreme temperature difference of 4 K and low power consumption in the entire temperature range,” a spokesperson said the…

The prices of the European Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) decreased in February in the middle of the prices of energy, but Dealstroom stable, says Swiss Energy Consultancy Pexapark, and noted that a “historic” 40-year-old, 15 MW PPA was signed in Wales. March 25, 2025 Brian Publicover The European PPA prices fell in February, which reflects a wider fall in energy council prices, while the transaction activity remained stable despite a fall in the volume, according to the monthly PPA report from Pexapark for March 2025. However, the Swiss Energy research agency noted that a record-breaking 40-year-old solar PPA was signed…

The Tunisian government has granted licenses to four PV projects with a combined capacity of 500 MW. The selected developers are Qair International, Voltalia, Toyota Tsusho and Scatec. March 25, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Image: Tunisian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy The Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy of Tunisia, Fatima al-Thabat Shibb, has approved four solar projects with a combined capacity of 500 MW. The QAIR International, based in France, will build a 100 MW facility in the Kasr region of the Province Geata and a 200 MW project in the Al-Khabna region of Sidi Bouzid Governorate. The French…

A community solar project in St. Cloud, Minnesota. New Energy Equity New two -legged In Minnesota sponsored by Senator Nick A. Frentz (18, Democratic-Farmer-Labor), Senator Bill Weber (21, R) and Senator John A. Hoffman (34, Democratic-Farmer-Labor) proposes Sunset Minnesota’s New Reformed Low-Tot-based income (LMI) Acquired. “This flagrant turning back is a gift to powerful utility companies that intend to protect their monopoly and crushing competition compared to the direct costs of families and small companies in Minnesota,” said CCSA, MNSEIA, STEM SOLAR, the Institute for Local and Solar United Buren. Only a year ago, the legislative power of Minnesota modernized…

As the global transition to sustainable energy intensifies, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have emerged as a critical innovation in merging renewable energy with architectural design. The recently published guide “Building-Integrated Photovoltaics: A Technical Guide”, edited by IEA PVPS task 15 experts Nuria Martín Chivelet, Costa Kapsis and Francesco Frontini, offers an extensive source for architects, engineers and urban planners. This article investigates the most important insights of the book, including applications, challenges and future paths. March 25, 2025 IEA PVPS BIPV technology transforms buildings from passive energy consumers into active energy generators. In contrast to traditional photovoltaic (PV) systems that are…
