NextEnergy Capital (NEC) has announced that his private fund aimed at new construction in the VK Solar, NextPower UK ESG (NPUK) £ 733 million collected in his latest fundraising, almost 50% above goal. Npuk offers cash flow for investors because of its portfolio of new-build scale on solar energy on solar energy in the UK. The goal funds was £ 500 million, and the National Wealth Fund (NWF) of the British…

Scanifly has a PV design and field operations software provider, has Integrated services with PV -mounting manufacturer K2 -Systems. Solar contractors now have access to the K2 offer -Tool without leaving the Scanifly platform. With the direct API integration, PV designers can select racking equipment that are optimized for their layout and generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) in one workflow. “Moving between platforms to complete designs, wastes time and creates opportunities for errors,” said Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly. “Our K2 -Quote integration keeps everything in one place, so that contractors can design and specify the required racking solutions…

The Swiss spin-off of the university, GraphenergyTech, develops graphene electrode technology to replace silver and other metals that are traditionally used in the production of solar cells. March 11, 2025 Valerie Thompson GraphenergyTech, a company with activities in Switzerland, develops very conductively on graphene -based electrodes for solar cells. Current research projects use its patented approach in Silicon Heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and perovskite solar cells. The graphene material, which the company emphasizes, offers chemical stability and cost -effectiveness, is compatible with typical industrial processes, such as screen prints, doctor’s magazines and concluding coating processes. “We are working on a…

The construction of the Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project will start in the coming weeks with renewable energy sources developer Gentari Pressing Go on the DC-linked hybrid project that is being built in Central Western New South Wales. March 11, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Gentari Renewables Australia, a subsidiary of the state-owned companies in Malaysia, has published Petronas from the state-owned company to continue with the 243 MW DC-linked Maryvale Solar and Battery Energy Storage Project. The Maryvale projectBuilt on a 360-hectare site near Wellington, about 37 km southeast of Dubbo in Central Western New South…

The Chinese solar manufacturer entered the heat pump business with a new product that is said to deliver hot water up to 75 ° C and can reach a performance coefficient of up to 5.0. It uses propane as a coolant and has noise levels of 48 dB (A) to 66 dB (A). March 11, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Chinese solar manufacturer TCL Zhonghuan presented a new heat pump system during the most important energy event held last week in Rimini, North -Italia. “The new heat pump is intended for applications in residential buildings,” said a company spokesperson told PV…

The French authorities have concluded a commercial and industrial (C&I) PV tendency with an average price of € 0.0982 ($ 0.1067)/kWh. The government has assigned a total of 220 MW PV capacity. March 11, 2025 Gwénaëlle Deboutte Image: Angie Warren, Unsplash By PV Magazine France The French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity transition has the winners of the ninth round of tenders for C&I roof solar systems for the period 2021-26, with capacities above 500 kW. The authorities have assigned 220 MW of the Solar Zon through the purchasing exercises to 54 developers at an average final price of €…

Hybrid transparent electrodes increases the efficiency and lifespan of perovskite solar cells Bifacial perovskite solar cells, known for their ability to catch sunlight from both the front and back surfaces, have taken an important step forward thanks to researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dharwad. Their development of a new NIO/AG/NIO (NAN) Hybrid transparent electrode has led to improvements in efficiency, sustainability and infrared transparency, opening new possibilities for solar energy applications. A recent study published in the Journal of Photonics for Energy (JPE) describes how the Iit Dharwad team designed and manufactured very transparent bifacial solar cells…

It was a time of video cassette recorders (VCRs) and Walkmans and the first Apple Mac. The trade in household appliances was booming and everyone wanted a Crock pot. The 1980s were also a time of growing international trade and an era in which making economic policy more market -friendly. This resulted in increasing number of electrical products that were sold across borders, so that the need to ensure that they were safe and tradable. This is why, in 1985, the IEC conformity assessment system for electrical equipment and components (Iecee) was born. “Globalization and international trade were enormous driving…

Scientists in Australia have assessed 36 mobile inspection robots for PV plants mounted on the ground and have identified six commercial ground robots that are systematically used for this task. Their work presents the robots according to different species of the movement, navigation technologies, communication technologies and market status. March 10, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of researchers from Murdoch University in Australia has carried out an overview of all types of unmanned ground vehicles for the inspection of large-scale PV energy plants. The scientists said that the land “robots” have different advantages compared to unmanned aircraft (UAVs) such as…

Denmark has launched a digital approval system to automate most applications for its heat pump subsidy program. The system streamlines the subsidy process, which offers 27,000 ($ 3,930) for qualifying heat pumps up to DKK. March 10, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: David Dvořáček, Unsplash The Danish Energy Agency has launched a digital system to automate most applications for the country’s heat pump subsidy program. The system will handle most approvals, with manual assessment that is only necessary for complex cases. A day after the system was launched, a spokesperson for the Danish Energy Agency reported 1,383 requests of a total…
