Machine Learning improves the accuracy of solar energy prediction As Zonne Energy becomes a more important part of the global energy letter, the improvement of the accuracy of photovoltaic (PV) generation forecasts is crucial for balancing supply and demand. A recent study published in the progress in the atmospheric sciences investigates how machine learning and statistical techniques can improve these predictions by refining errors in weather models. Since PV prediction is highly dependent on weather forecasts, inaccuracies in meteorological models can influence the estimates of the power. Researchers from the Institute of Statistics of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology investigated…
As Saudi-Algerian reports on the hydrogen potential of the North African country, the Greengo energy of Denmark begins its 6 GW electrolysis hydrogen project in Mauritania. February 18, 2025 Sergio Matalucci A group of Saudi-Algerian researchers underlines AlgeriaThe ability to use solar energy in different regions, which suggests that ad hoc programs such as Medhysol and Hysolthane can make the North African country a global hydrogen player with green hydrogen production, as low as $ 4 per kilogram. “The current estimates suggest that the costs for producing green hydrogen using photovoltaic energy in Algeria vary between $ 4 and $…
Tongwei was originally planning to invest CNY 5 billion ($ 700 million) to buy a 51% interest in Runergy. February 18, 2025 Vincent Shaw Tongwei, a vertically integrated solar manufacturer in China, has decided to drop his plan to acquire a controlling interest in the China-based module producers. The move marks the end of a potential deal of $ 700 million, which was in the making for six months. Tongwei was originally planning to invest CNY 5 billion ($ 700 million) to buy a 51% interest in Runergy. In a released statement, however, the company said that it would terminate…
The leadership teams of BW Ess and Sungrow during the groundbreaking ceremony. Image: BW Ess/Sungrow BW ESS and Sungrow have announced the start of commercial activities of the Bramley Battery Energy Storage System (Bess), a project of 100 MW/331MWH in southern England. Sungrow supplied the battery units for the project and supplied the 3-hour duration of the Powertitan 2.0 company. Sungrow has concluded deals with other developers to provide them with this Powertitan 2.0 units, including for the 1.4GW Thorpe Marsh Bess by Fidra Energy and 500 MW West Burton C Bess. The Thorpe Marsh Bess recently received a building…
By SB staff February 18, 2025 Proponents of American solar and agriculture have come together to support a national policy mile post to promote Agrivoltaics. The Solar and Farming Association (SAFA) The initiative announced that the agricultural families and economies in the countryside will strengthen. At 2025 American Farm Bureau Federation (AFFF) Convention on January 28 in San Antonio, Texas, delegates voted with the priority of solar projects with verified shared agricultural use in the AFFF policy book. This paves the way for supporting more American energy from homegrown and ensures that agricultural land remains in production. “This milestone shows…
Solar services company Sunnova Energy announced it would cut 300 jobs to reduce costs and streamline its operations. Credit: Sunnova The 300 layoffs are mostly in its commercial organization and represent 15% of the company’s total workforce. Sunnova will have $35 million in annual cash savings due to the job cuts. Sunnova said it is positioning itself for long-term success in an evolving market that is currently facing high interest rates and policy uncertainty. “As we continue to focus on capital efficiency and our high-margin core customers through TPO origination, we must always optimize within the current economic and policy…
The tool is free and open-source and available to everyone. Image: Stephen Dawson via Unsplash. Pulse Clean Energy has today (18 February) published an industrial-first tool with which the battery energy storage system (BESS) asset managers can follow and certify the carbon emissions that have been saved by BESS use. The British Bess Cool Emissions Calculator -Tool, founded in collaboration with LCP Delta and the UK’s National Wealth Fund, is designed to give a better insight into the positive environment -impact of Bess developments. With batteries that are mainly used to save excess renewable energy in times of high generation…
The new production facility requires an investment of CNY 8 billion ($ 1.1 billion) and will be located in the province of Sichuan, Schuan. February 18, 2025 Vincent Shaw State Power Investment Corporation (Spic) broke ground on a 10 GW very efficient heterojunction (HJT) Solar Cell and Module Manufacturing Project in Suining, province of Sichuan. The project, with an investment of CNY 8 billion ($ 1.1 billion), will be built in two phases. The first phase, which covers 480 hectares with an investment of CNY 5 billion, will include a 5 GW HJT sun cell and module production line, with…
The Argentinian authorities are planning to install the new storage capacity in critical nodes of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, with an estimated investment of $ 500 million and an execution period between 12 and 18 months. February 18, 2025 Luis Ini By PV Magazine Latam The Argentine Energy Secretariat, which is part of the Ministry of Economy, has launched an international call for proposals that want to add 500 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in critical nodes in the so -called metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (Amba), with An estimated investment of $ 500 million and…
Scientists in China have conducted an annual study into six “Aquavoltaics” farms that organize the aquacultures of Zeekomkommer under the solar panels. Due to the lower water temperature, the animal’s winter wacker period was reduced, as well as the death, compared to the previous year. February 18, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from China conducted research for a year into the impact of PV farms on the aquaculture of the Zeekomkommer. With the help of the statistical technology of the Structural Comparison (SEM), the group collected information from six comparable ponds that were used for the commercial growth of the Apostichopus…
