The Italian manufacturer said that its new heat pumps use R454B as a coolant and have the performance coefficient up to 3.35. March 24, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Italian heating and cooling specialist Thermocold has unveiled new air-water heat pumps for residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The IMEX HP R454B uses R454B as a coolant that has a warming potential (GWP) of 466. “The units deliver up to 45 ° C and leave water behind at -15 ° C outside temperature and can produce hot water in the summer, whereby the water temperatures are reached up to 60 ° C at…
Chinese inverter and energy storage maker Sungrow invited 300 guests from 20 European countries to his ESS [energy storage system] Experience day event in Munich, Germany. Discussions aimed at energy storage, projects, market figures and the energy transition. The conclusion: more storage and grid expansion are needed. March 24, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News Clear blue skies, spring-like temperatures perfect for solar energy. There is only one thing that you should not miss: the possibility to use the electricity well – even if the grid cannot absorb it. That is why Sungrow invited more than 300 participants from more…
Key Properties has completed its first solar project in collaboration with Give energy. The 110-KW solar installation on the roof at the extra space storage building of Key Properties in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, is designed to compensate for 100% of the building’s electricity consumption. “Solar was a natural choice for us to lower operating costs,” said Adam Schlussel, VP with important properties. “Thanks to our partnership with application energy, we have reduced our electricity costs from 17 cents to less than 1 cent per kWh and we benefit from a recurring income flow through stimuli. For us it is…
This week, women in Solar Europe (WISEU) give a voice to Josef Kastner, the CEO of Austria -based Nexun. He says that professional decisions should be based on skills, not on gender. “Social expectations influence leadership styles, but honesty is non-conservable. Everyone deserves the same rights and opportunities,” he explains. March 21, 2025 Women in Solar Europe (Wisu) The solar industry is at a crucial moment, but gender parity remains elusive. More women must become members of industry and strive for leadership roles, while men in leadership have to actively recruit and promote women. Bias, both consciously and unconsciously, influences…
Solmicrogrid announced the completion of a Microgrid project at a Chick-Fil-A Quarry Creek in Oceanside, California. Solmicrogrid usually uses a combination of solar storage on solar energy, on-site battery energy and generators to enable reliable and continuous capacity for its customers. The project in this Restaurant Chick-Fil-A comprises an 81-KWh battery energy storage system and has a 112 kW of solar panels consisting of awning and modules mounted on the ground. The components of the project are all governed by an advanced energy management system that optimizes performance and maximizes the synergies between the technologies. Due to the unique, sloping…
First Great British Energy Project will roll out the state -owned by the state ownership on the roof of solar energy at around 200 schools and 200 National Health Service (NHS) sites in England. Money for community groups and power schemes in Scotland, Wales and Noord -Ireland included in the investment package. March 21, 2025 Matthew Lynas Great British Energy will invest in solar energy at around 200 schools and 200 hospital locations as part of the first investment package of the state-owned company of the State. The GBP 200 million ($258 Million) Involvement includes approximately GBP 80 million for…
Credit: Primoris Renewable Energy A review by the Sun Day campaign of Data that have just been released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Ferc) It appears that the combination of solar energy and wind was good for more than 98% of the new American electric generation capacity that were added in January. Only on solar energy was good for more than two-thirds of the new capacity. Moreover, January was the seventeenth month in a row in which Solar was the largest source of new capacity. Renewable energy sources were 98.4% of the new generating capacity in January: In the…
The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology Iwu will present a new hydrogen microgrid platform at the end of March. The researchers say it can help to serve hospitals, remote rural areas and war -torn regions. March 21, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Reference Factory.h2 The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU is planning to present a hydrogen microgrid platform, Hygrid, at the upcoming Hanover Messe Trade Show. Fraunhofer researchers said that hydrogen microgrids arise as a feasible option for decentralized energy supply in Germany. They noted that hydrogen storage can contain large amounts of energy…
An Acciona Energía Solar Project. Basic Climate has announced the transfer of production tax credits (PTCs) about three transactions on behalf of the renewable energy developer Acciona Energía. The transferred credits were generated by Acciona Energías Fort Bend, Red-Tailed Hawk, Green Pastures I and Green Pastures II facilities in Texas. Fort Bend is a 240 MWAC Solar project, while the larger red -tailed hawk is a 350 MWAC Sun farm. Green meadows I and Green Pastures II, two wind farms with a combined capacity of 300 MWACwere taken over by Acciona in November 2024. These four projects, in addition to…
From PV Magazine 03/25 The second Trump government is a tough approach to policy reform, not least with energy. The American president has expressed support for an “all the above approach” while he slogan “Drill Baby, Drill” and calls the end of the “EV [electric vehicle] mandate.” Trump is clear about his preference for fossil fuels and aversion to wind energy and EVs. But where is he on solar energy? The unleashed American energy -Executive Order of the president released limitations on oil and rare earth -mineral extraction. The new administration has also tried to remove the exemptions from the…
