The renewable connections of the Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer is celebrating a big win, since the latest permission of the energy project brings it to the 1GW marking. Yesterday (February 10), renewable connections received planning stamping for a new Bess project, the 90 MW Reed Battery Energy storage system in Somerset, so that the company brought more than 1 GW to permitted projects. The Drove project, which is located on 1.7 hectares of land near Bridgwater, has been in the planning system since the end of 2023…
President Donald Trump set 25% trading rates for aluminum and steel imports from most countries on Monday. Steel and aluminum are the primary materials used in the manufacture of racks and supports that are used in the solar construction. Solar panels are wrapped in aluminum frames, solar projects on the roof use aluminum rails and fittings and arrays mounted on the ground are built on steel racks. In 2018, during his first presidency, Trump imposed import tariffs of 25% for steel and 10% for aluminum. These newest rates are an extension of section 232 steel and aluminum rates, which have…
Huasun Energy says it has signed a 3 GW offer deal with Hongyang New Energy Development Group for Hetterojunction (HJT) solar panels. The PV modules will be used in Hongyang’s Zonne-Plus-on-storage hydrogen-ammonia projects in the Xinjiang region in China, with delivery by the end of 2026. February 11, 2025 Vincent Shaw Huasun -Energy has signed a 3 GW Supply Framework Agreement with the new energy development group from Hongyang. According to the conditions of the deal, Huasun will provide at least 3 GW of HJT solar panels for the Zonne-Plus-Plus storage of Hongyang Group Hydrogen-Amonia in Yili and Altay, Xinjiang,…

N-Inkt, a spin-off from the Linköping University, has developed conductive inks that can be used in the cargo-sextraht layer of organic solar cells and in transport layers of perovskite solar cells. February 11, 2025 Valerie Thompson Swedish Startup N-Inkt has launched N-type conductive ink that can be used in the load-extracting layer of organic solar cells (OPT), as well as in transport layers of perovskite solar cells. The company offers three formulations of its ink, of which it notes, has a high electrical conductivity, from 0.01 s/cm to 3000 s/cm and thermal stability. It is said that it can be…
SolarPanelRecycling.com (SPR) announced it will work with national trade association Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) on a drop-off program for end-of-life residential solar panels in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The area, home to an SPR recycling facility, is the second-largest county in North Carolina and includes the Charlotte-metro-area. This pilot program will act as a blueprint for expanding the program nationally to make solar panel recycling accessible to all residential solar owners. After fielding a high volume of inbound calls from residents wanting to divert their solar panels from landfills, SEIA sought out SPR, one of its approved national PV recyclers,…
Two companies trying to set up Gigawatt scale Lithium battery factories have canceled their plans for American production. Kore Power confirmed to Local news that it left his 12-GWH factory plan in Buckeye, Arizona and Freyr unveiled It would sell his ESS production site in Georgia. Kore Power first announced his production plans in Arizona in 2021. The goal was to hire 3,000 people at the 1 million FT2 Site to make both NMC and LFP battery cells for the EV and ESS markets. The company has our intellectual property but makes its batteries through a Chinese contract manufacturer. After…
Developed by a research team, including experts from the Australian specialist Clearvue, the new PV windows could also reduce water consumption in a greenhouse by 29%. The group is of the opinion that a fully glazed solar greenhouse up to 100% of energy consumption at worldwide locations could compensate with the help of adaptable and efficient temperature control techniques. February 11, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Murdoch University and Clearvue Technologies from Australia have developed new solar windows that are said to reduce energy consumption and water consumption in greenhouses. To test the proposed innovation, they designed and built a…
Faster than expected prize is falling and the global oversupply of batteries will compete this year against an increasing tide of global protectionism. So how will it all be for the energy storage industry? Storage industry Temining leader and UN advisor Marek Kubik regards the most important problems. February 11, 2025 Marek Kubil By ESS News We get used to record years for energy storage and 2024 was no exception. Manufacturer Tesla has used 31.4 GWH, an increase of 213% compared to 2023, and market information provider Bloomberg New Energy Finance increased his prediction twice, ending the year with the…
