Azul Pack has developed a new reflective membrane to increase Albedo and energy yield in photovoltaic plants with bifacial modules. In a fixed structural factory in Minas Gerais, the technology reportedly resulted in an increase of 7% energy at the inverter. February 19, 2025 Alessandra Neris By PV Magazine Brazil Brazilian plastic manufacturer Azul Pack has developed a reflective membrane for bifacial solar energy plants. The solution is intended to increase Albedo and to optimize energy production in micro and mini generation projects, as well as large-scale facilities. The new product is available in two versions called TechReflex Geo and…
Scientists in China have designed a photovoltaic thermal integrated air source heat pump hot water system that uses a phase change tank to lower energy consumption and achieve higher food performance than conventional heat pumps. The system is designed to use water as a work medium and to offer circulation power for forced circulation. February 19, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A research team of the Zhongyuan University of Technology in China has a New type of photovoltaic/thermal integrated air heat heat pump (PVT-Sashp) hot water system in combination with a phase change material (PCM) tank that is reportedly improves the heat…
The new inverters support up to 80 kWh three -phase battery storage. February 19, 2025 Matthew Lynas Data energy has a new “gene 3” range of one -phase, high -voltage hybrid inverters in the United Kingdom, available in models of 8 kW and 10 kW, with a close tie with the modular and stackable three -part batteries from Geggegy, which offer 10-80 kWh capacity. Interim director of data energy in the UK, Carl Pote told PV -Magazine: “The new 8 and 10kW high-voltage hybrid inverters are a really exciting prospect for homeowners who want to make that transition to cleaner,…
By Chris Crowell February 19, 2025 Create Energy’s Dean Solon showing off the new ReCreate Modules that will be manufactured in the U.S. as part of a joint-venture with RECOM. Forget domestic “content,” Dean Solon is ready to sell complete renewable energy power plants — from transformers to trackers to turnkey installation — all made in the U.S.A. “We’re building an un-Evil Empire,” Solon says of Create Energy, a company built to disrupt everything you know about the renewables industry. Solon is best known for 1) founding Shoals Technologies and 2) wearing jorts. After Shoals went public in 2021, he…
The American household is evolving. Recent census data reveals a 30% increase in multi-generational living arrangements over the past decade, with over 64 million Americans now sharing homes with extended family members. This shift reflects cultural values and practical considerations – from aging parents needing support to young adults managing student loans, and grandparents helping with childcare. Beyond the social benefits of shared experiences and strengthened family bonds, these living arrangements create unique opportunities for financial cooperation and resource sharing. Yet this family-focused living solution brings new challenges, particularly in managing household energy consumption. When three or more generations share…
Scanifly, a PV design and field operations software provider, has integrated with Unirac, a North American producer of solar mounting and racking solutions. The partnership connects Scanifly’s site survey and design platform directly to Unirac’s plan set portal, creating an automated workflow. “Solar contractors spend too much time moving data between different software tools,” said Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly. “Our integration with Unirac fixes this by creating a direct connection between our platforms, letting contractors focus on installation accuracy instead of exporting and re-uploading data.” This API integration lets solar contractors automatically transfer critical project data from Scanifly to…
