Scientists have used a simplified 2D repeated factor and advanced 3D approach to calculate energy fluxing on green roofs with PV systems. They have also built an experimental arrangement to verify their model and have discovered that without the detailed model, evapotranspiration would be underestimated by 18%. March 6, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the University of Ljubljana of Slovenia have developed a new model for calculating energy luxury on PV -green roofs. Green roofs are roofs that are covered with vegetation, such as vegetables, and PV can benefit from their cooling effect. After making their model, the team tested…

The global energy sector is at a turning point. Historically, energy production has been one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – accounting for over two-thirds of the world’s total. This is primarily due to the sector’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. However, the urgent need to combat climate change has placed immense pressure on energy companies to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and transition toward sustainability.The stakes couldn’t be higher – Achieving “net-zero emissions”—balancing emitted greenhouse gases with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere—has emerged as…

Treaty Oak Clean Energy, in addition to local officials, leaders of economic development and community leaders, celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking of the 100-MW Redfield Solar Project in Grant County, Arkansas. The energy of the project will be purchased by a single off-track via a long-term sales agreement. The Redfield Solar Project will expand the power generation capacity of Arkansas at a time when affordable, reliable electricity for companies and families is more critical than ever. By diversifying the energy mix of the state, the project will offer cost -effective, reliable strength and at the same time stimulate economic growth in…

The aim of the inventory of the European energy storage is to register all European energy storage projects on status -in company, planned and under construction -, per location and by technology. Most projects have been included in Germany so far. March 5, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina The dashboard can be filtered by country, project status and technology. Source: https://ses.jrc.ec.europa.eu/storage inventory By PV Magazine Germany The European Commission has officially launched the European Energy Storage Inventory, a real -time dashboard for energy storage. The aim is to state all planned and operational energy storage projects in Europe per location and…

New Zealand company Taslink has announced plans to build a 2 GW to 3 GW capacity with 2 GW with a high-voltage cable with Australia and New Zealand to facilitate the daily trade of electricity between the two countries. March 4, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia The founders of the renewable developer Far North Solar Farm, established in Auckland, have unveiled plans to build a submarine cable of 2,600 kilometers that connects the Australian and New Zealand Power Grids. Far Northern solar energy Directors Richard Homewood and John Telfer have set up new company TasLink with plans to…

Scientists unlock long -term perovskite solar technology Researchers from the University of Surrey have developed a breakthrough approach that could considerably extend the lifespan of Perovskiet solar cells up to ten times. Their findings reveal that embedding aluminum oxide (AL2O3) helps nanoparticles in the cells to improve stability and sustainability, making one of the most important restrictions hind the commercialization of Perovskiet -Technology. Although perovskite solar cells offer a lightweight and cost -effective alternative to traditional solar panels based on silicone, they have struggled with long -term reliability as a result of iodine leak, which leads to material breakdown. In…

The Sri Lankan government has approved the land transfer for a 100 MW solar project in the south. The site will be transferred to the Sustainable Energy Authority to promote the project. March 5, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Oskar Kadaksoo, Unsplash Sri LankaThe Ministers’ cabinet has approved the transfer of land to the sustainable energy authority of the country for a 100 MW solar project. The Siyambalanduwa PV -Array is built on 220 hectares in the province of UvA in Sri Lanka. The cabinet approved the country to the Sustainable Energy Authority to start the work immediately, according to a…

China Huadian started building a 19.24 GW Wind-Solar-Coal-Storage project in the province of Qinghai in China. The $ 11 billion project delivers 36.5 TWH electricity per year to the province of Guangxi. March 5, 2025 Vincent Shaw China Huadian Corp. Construction of the largest and highest integrated energy basis in Golmud, the province of Qinghai. The project, with a total investment of approximately CNY 80 billion ($ 11 billion), will have the highest share in the renewable capacity in a hybrid energy system designed to export electricity to provinces. The project will have a totally installed capacity of 19.24 GW,…

Scientists in China have analyzed the performance of a system that connects a heat pump heating system of the solar air with a thermal storage floor based on sand and have discovered that it can be an average indoor temperature of 18.8 ° C, even when outside temperatures vary from zz to 12.3 C. March 5, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from China have suggested combining solar air heat pumps (SASHP) with sand-based storage based on sand in rural clean heating projects. “In rural areas where economic limitations and maintenance conditions are crucial, there is still a lack of research into…

Credit: Cabine Solar Cabine SolarAn above-ground provider for cable management has released its new modular hail hanger system for the solar industry. This newly designed hanging system is inspired by the free air solution of Cab Solar, modular and developed for compatibility with the increased tilt of tracker systems with hail report protection. It can also be used with the patented cable management system from Cab Solar with intergrated earth. The modular Hail STOW Pendant System works within the limited space that is available for cable management in hail rise tracker systems. The hangers are made of galvanized steel with…
