The Chinese manufacturer said that various integrators of the battery energy storage system have already started recording the 587 AH cell in their platforms and is of the opinion that this new specification is well positioned to become an industrial benchmark for lithium iron phosphate (LFP)-based energy storage systems. April 16, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News Chinese battery energy storage Specialist Hithium presented his new ∞cell 587AH energy storage cell and the corresponding ∞Power 6.25MWH 2-hour storage system on the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE2025) in Beijing last week. The manufacturer also announced that the ∞cell…

The reform of the grid connection can also unlock 7.6 GW of the capacity of Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) by 2030. Image: Neoen. OFGEM, the energy regulator, has officially approved plans to get ‘Zombie’ projects from the Grid connection row and to streamline the connection of renewable energy projects that are most needed, which could lead to a significant increase in PV proposals on solar energy on utility scale. The long -awaited schedule connection reforms were the first Proposed by the National Energy System Operator (NESO) With the aim of reducing the number of projects awaiting the connection with…

The Belgian grid operator Elia says that the growth of the fast solar fleet stimulates earlier seasonal overproduction peaks, which increases the defendant risks this spring. It is planning to expand flexibility measures to stabilize the high -voltage network. April 16, 2025 Gwénaëlle Deboutte Solar panels installed on Belgian roofs in total in total approximately 11.4 GW of capacity – an increase of 4 GW compared to two years ago and 1.4 GW more than in 2024. “During peaks, these panels, depending on the orientation and other technical limitations, can produce up to 9 GW electricity,” said the Belgian grid…

By PV Magazine USA Researchers from Cornell University are working on creating a portable canopy with double axis of approximately 14 m2 that will change and follow the sun to optimize the absorption of solar energy. For Helioskin, part of the vision of their brand is to make ‘solar energy attractive, so that people actually find it usable and interesting’. The “Morphing Skin” would follow sunlight and have the flexibility and surface to wrap over large surfaces, such as buildings and stadiums. A representation of Helioskin’s flexible, photovoltaic material that could cover stadiums and other large buildings.Image: Jenny Sabin Lab…

The French research institute showed that switching from silver cell metallization to the metallization of Zilverkopper can lower the total silver quantity in a heterojunction module, with a total silver quantity of only 14 mgag/w required. Their interconnection technique is based on a low silver content of electrically conductive adhesives and copper ribbons. April 16, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the French National Solar Energy Institute (Ines) – a division of the French alternative energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) – have developed a new PV module interconnection technology based on the use of electric conductive adhesives (ECA) with minimal…

PV Hardware USA (PVH), a global provider for following solar solutions and energy, has earned the zero waste with landfill validation and reports a recycling percentage of 98.36% in its activities. “Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our business strategy,” says Rodolfo Bitar, VP of business development at PV Hardware. “Earning the zero waste for deposit certification is not only a validation of our waste management practice – it is a reflection of our broader mission to reduce the impact of the environment and lead the industry to a cleaner future.” PVH tries to work on a circular economy by…

The new edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Fotovoltaic (ITRPV), published this week, reports that the average PV module prices fell by 33% last year compared to the end of 2023. April 15, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Image: Damien Tait, Unsplash This week the publication of the annual ITRPV report, prepared by the German Engineering Association VDMA. Now in his 16one Edition, the report takes in-depth in technological trends in the supply chain for Silicon PV products. VDMA calculates PV module readings in 2024 at 703 GW, where the average prices have fallen by 33% compared to the end of…

The new stream series from Ecoflow, the second-generation Balcony Sun factory, makes battery coordination and plug-and-play solar-zonne energy possible for distributed batteries, plus external microinverter coordination for its new battery. April 15, 2025 Tristan Rayner The American Ecoflow has unveiled its stream series, a balcony solution of the second generation that replaces the company’s previous power stream line with an improved battery integration that promotes distributed batteries within home and network options. The new battery-oriented approach offers significant technical improvements, including AI-driven coordination between several units and compatibility with third-party equipment. In short, a battery or more batteries may be…

Green with fluoride-amplified perovskiet solar cells A team of scientists from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has unveiled a sustainable method for manufacturing perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by using a fluoride -based additive in a solution for water alone. This innovation replaces dangerous solvents that are usually used in the PSC production, which achieves a remarkable power conversion -efficiency of more than 18%. Perovskiet solar cells have emerged as a promising technology for the future of solar energy, thanks to their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, their commercial scalability is hindered by the dangers of the environment and health by…

Enphase’s IQ Battery 5p. Credit: Virtue Zonne Illinois Clean Energy Trade Associations unite and call for the consultant of the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to make a critical revision of its upcoming report on purchasing clean energy storage. The report, currently in draft form and prepared by an ICC-appointed consultant, is intended to guide the path of the state to deploying 1500 MW of energy storage as part of the ultimate clean energy and grid reliability goals of Illinois, a benchmark set by Recent Legislation. However, the early design indicates a recommendation of approximately half of that quantity, which encourages…
