The Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has launched a tool in collaboration with the Israel Mapping Center that calculates the potential and the expected income from solar installations on the roof on residential, industrial and public buildings. February 6, 2025 Patrick Jowett Image: Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure IsraelThe Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure and the Israel Mapping Center have collaborated on a tool that offers public information about the potential on the roof. The system Uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to automatically map available areas in Israel where solar systems can be installed. It analyzes the intensity…

Enphase Energy today announced that it is expanding its support for virtual power plants (VPPs) in Puerto Rico and Colorado, powered by the IQ Battery 5P. Grid Services programs are offered by electric utilities and often use energy stored in home batteries to reduce the load on the electric grid when it is most needed, such as peak demand for electricity periods. This reduces the dependence on expensive and polluting power plants for electricity and can in exchange offer incentives to homeowners of their utilities. Incentives can be provided as a discount on the purchase of an Enphase energy system…

Scientists have performed an analysis of 20 years of academic publications on PV-driven electric cooking and found interest in the field in 2021-2022 in both developing and developed countries. They have also outlined some potential future developments. February 6, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by Academics of Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumh University of Science and Technology has analyzed the development of PV-driven electric boil (e-Cooking) in the last twenty years. Through systematic review and bibliometric analysis, they have established emerging trends and developments in the field. “E-cooking uses electric cooking stoves, induction cooking tops or other e-cooking devices. This…

Scientists are investigating falling earcop battery life life Have you ever noticed how electronic devices, including wireless earbuds, seem to lose the battery capacity faster the longer you use them? An international research team from the University of Texas in Austin went looking for this well -known problem, known as battery gradation, by concentrating on the earplugs that many people trust every day. Through a series of X -rays, infrared and other imaging approaches, the researchers have investigated the hidden complexities behind these small devices and revealed the life of their battery over time. “This started with my personal headphones;…

Enterprise Energy announced that the Minnesota Department of Commerce has granted the developer capacity for two community projects for the community of a total of 11 MWDC Located in Montevideo and Cottage Grove, Minnesota. These are in particular the first multi-megawatt projects that have been approved in the context of the accessible community Solar Garden Program of the state with low and moderate incomes (LMI). The LMI accessible community Solar Garden Program, managed by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, aims to expand access to solar energy for households with low and moderate income. These projects are committed to at least…

Enphase says that the turnover of the entire year fell by 42% as the residential solar market in the sun dropped, but the margins improved and the American production was considerably expanded.
