The new Heat Pump series uses propane as a coolant and is reportedly supplying hot water up to 75 C. March 7, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The manufacturer of the Japanese heating system Daikin has unveiled a new modular air-water-inverter heat pump series for commercial buildings. The system uses propane (R290) as the coolant and is designed to offer Heating, cooling and homely hot water (DHW). “The Ewyk -QZ delivers exceptional modular performance, with cooling and heating capacities ranging from 100 kW (single module) to 2000 kW (Multi -module system),” said the manufacturer, and noted that the conventional boilers can be…
Queen Mary scientists work together with Power Roll to promote Perovskite Solar Technology Queen Mary University of London has joined forces with innovative Solar Startup Power Roll to switch Perovskite Sun film from laboratory research into large -scale application. Perovskite is generally considered the future of solar energy because of its lightweight, flexible and highly efficient properties, making installations in locations that are not suitable for conventional silicon panels. Traditional solar panels based on silicone are rigid and heavy, limiting installation options. Almost 30% of the commercial roofs worldwide cannot support their weight, which contributes to the fact that only…
The Moroccan government has approved six projects by a series of foreign companies, while the second auction of the European hydrogen bank for renewable hydrogen production has attracted 61 bids of projects in 11 countries. March 7, 2025 Sergio Matalucci A Moroccan government Commission approved six green hydrogen projects with a reported value of up to 319 billion ($ 32.5 billion). “The Compotes Are Leading Companies In The Field of Green Hydrogen In Their Countries, Namely The Investor Alliance Ornx Consisting of the Companies Ortus From The United States of America, Acciona From Spain, And Nordex From Germonia, In The…
RES has developed more than 830 MW of Bess projects in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Image: Res. Renewable Energy Company RES has announced that it has applied for a building permit for a proposed 150 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) development in Scotland. The company has submitted a section 36 request to the Energy Constent Unit (ECU) of the Scottish government for the proposal of Bishops Dal Bess, which is proposed to be between Leitholm and Birgham in the Scottish borders region. The site was chosen because of the proximity of the ECCLES station, to minimize the amount…
Displaying gas with helium, argon for more stable perovskiet solar cells – PV Magazine International
Researchers at Kuwait University investigated the relationship between the molecular weight of the extinguishing gas and the morphology of perovskiet films used in solar cells, and discovered that Argon and Helium extended the lifetime of the device compared to the use of the more conventional nitrogen. March 7, 2025 Valerie Thompson A research team of Kuwait University compared the effects on grain size, crystallinity, surfaceness, defects of the solar cell and related solar cell performance of helium and argon-extinguishing gases with nitrogen. Nitrogen, it noticed, is usually used as a low costs and a large area compatible way to create…
In an era where urbanization continues to distance us from our natural roots, a revolutionary design philosophy is gaining momentum – one that marries our innate connection to nature with cutting-edge sustainable technology. At the intersection of biophilic design and solar innovation, we’re witnessing a transformation in how we conceive, build, and inhabit our spaces. The Heart of Biophilic Design Biophilic design isn’t just about adding a few plants to your office space or installing larger windows. It’s an approach to architecture and interior design that fundamentally recognizes our biological need to connect with nature. The term “biophilia,” coined by…
The projects are all in the pre-construction phase. Image: Red Zeppelin via Unsplash. Natural Power Natural Power from Renewable Energy has supported NTR to successfully acquire 326 MW of Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity in Ireland. The L&G NTR Clean Power (Europe) Fund has acquired two separate project portfolios, both in Ireland, with a combined capacity of 326 MW. The largest of the two portfolios is the solar and co-located currency portfolio known as project Monvallet, which is located in County Louth. The project is currently in the pre-construction phase and includes a ready-made solar PV energy…
In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry.
