The Japan Weather Association (JWA) says that the new forecast service offers real-time surplus solar energy forecasts for individual buildings, commercial facilities and households. February 12, 2025 Brian Publicover Image: Yuno-Yuno, Wikimedia Commons The JWA has introduced a new prediction service for surplus solar energy in Japan and offers real-time predictions for individual buildings, commercial facilities and households. The service, launched on 12 February, offers 30 minutes of interval prognoses for generating solar energy, electricity demand, grid purchases and surplus power at a single location level. JWA said that the service was built on its own weather data and forecast…

Researchers in China have investigated the effect of the overhead height and tilt corner on thermal and energy -saving performance of photovoltaic roof and have discovered that the extensive energy -saving efficiency of parallel overhead photovoltaic roofs are optimal in the summer and the worst in winter. February 12, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Chinese Guilin University of Electronic Technology have presented a new model to investigate the impact of various overhead heights and tilting corners of PV modules at thermal and electrical performance and energy-saving rooms. The accuracy of the numerical model was verified by an experimental model.…

The Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry of Cyprus has launched a subsidy scheme for energy storage systems in combination with existing renewable energy. Eligible projects will be reimbursed by feed-in rates (Fits) or net billing systems. February 12, 2025 Ilias Tsagas Image: Greg Montani, Pixabay By ESS News Cyprus has introduced its very first energy storage subsidy scheme ever with regard to large -scale renewable energy factories, aimed at a roll -out of 350 MWh. The scheme has a competitive character and offers EUR 35 million ($ 36 million) for the purchase and installation of energy storage units in…

Cheap, safe, generally available sodium can be used for storage of battery energy in addition to photovoltaic. The research project of sodium ion battery Germany (SIB: DE) is investigating whether sodium-ion technology can be affordable in the production facilities for lithium-ion battery. February 12, 2025 Scarlet Schmitz By ESS News Sodium batteries (SIBs) are considered a promising alternative to lithium-ion devices because sodium is a non-critical, cheap and directly available raw material that is classified as particularly safe. The first Large -scale energy storage facilities Based on technology, China are already active. The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced…

Enertopia has developed a cooling system for solar module that uses a layer of moisture collection to transfer heat and to record water for irrigation in dry areas. De ontwerpkanalen verwarmen van het paneel naar een vloeistofoverdrachtssysteem, waardoor de efficiëntie en het watergebruik verbetert. February 12, 2025 said that the US Patent 12224704 has protected from the Patent Trademark Office (USPTO) of the United States for its heat panel heat panel. A moisture collection layer between the panel and a liquid transfer system enables rapid heat transfer from the photovoltaic panel to the liquid transfer system. “In some cases, in…

Large renewable energy sources have successfully completed large-scale tests of a concentrated solar-thermal power recipient tower that are intended to be deployed as part of a 30 MW / 288 MWh solar and energy storage project planned for South Australia. February 12, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Concentrated Solar Thermal Power (CSP) Specialist Equally Renewable energy sources has completed the final prototyping of a “first-in-it-type” reception tower that forms the basis of its clean energy solution that combines solar energy generation with a sodium-based energy gathering system and a storage system and a storage system and a storage…
