The Danish Energy Agency has developed an online tool to assess the solar potential on the roof, using laser scan data and information from the registrar. The solution does not assess the economy of projects. February 5, 2025 Lior Kahana Image: SologVindinfo.dk, The Danish Energy Agency The Danish Energy Agency has released an online tool to evaluate the PV potential of roofs nationwide. The website sologvindinfo.dk Shows the average exposure to solar energy for each roof surface, so that owners are helped to determine which parts of their roofs get the most solar radiation. “Building owners will receive a new…
Tmic Corporation Americas has announced that his PV -Omsorer production facility in Waller County, Texas has started production. The 144,000 FT2 Westport facility began producing PV-Omwers on tools in November 2024, surpassing the initial production expectations and the production of more than 300 PV-Omsorers by 5 February 2025. This milestone underlines TMEIC’s dedication to the American production promote and accelerate the renewable energy sector. In mid-November, Tmic organized an official Grand Opening and Lint cutting ceremony in the Westport facility, in which senior executives, important customers, partners and local government officials were brought together to celebrate the expansion of its…
EDPR NA Distributed Generation The 3.4-MWAC Bristol I Community Solar Project in Bristol, Maine completed and ratified. This remains the growth of EDPR after DG in the community sector of the community, with more than 61 MWAC operational assets that include 32 projects in six states. Credit: EDPR NA DG Power generated from Bristol I am going to more than 400 residential and small business subscribers throughout South Maine who have registered to gain power of the community project through EDPR’s partner, powermarket. For the development of Bristol I, EDPR collaborated with local developer Midcoast Solar, where E&S Electric Company…

Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (Fraunhofer ITWM) has linked an energy community to a channel near Amsterdam to the day-light and Dutch imbalance markets, which reduces energy costs. February 5, 2025 Patrick Jowett Researchers at Fraunhofer ITWM has developed a solution that allows owners of solar systems and battery systems to participate in different energy markets. The Fraunhofer team said that the solution makes the real-time prognosis of consumption and local generation possible, as well as price optimization, so that the user can buy and sell electricity at the best possible prices on the day-light market. It was used in…
Vreo Ventues Managing Partner Felix Krause speaks with PV -Magazine About solar energy-related investments in the startup landscape. February 5, 2025 PV -Magazine The Vreo Electrification Fund, which Viano Ventures was launched at the end of 2022, is a venture capital fund at an early stage with a dozen startups for energy technology in its portfolio. Vreo Ventures Managing Partner Felix Krause recently sat down with PV -Magazine To talk about opportunities on solar energy and startups. “Starting a new company often requires substantial financial support to convert ideas into reality, and this is where daring capital plays a crucial…
One of the assembly lines of Helieen in Bankgijzer, Minnesota. The provision of the transferability of the inflation reduction law has helped difficult solar projects to be financed and given more entities the opportunity to invest in solar energy. Transferability now also helps to build solar manufacturers to maximize their states by maximizing 45x production credits. The 45X advanced production production credit is offered to domestic manufacturers of eligible solar and storage components, such as panels, trackers, inverters and batteries. Subject to any change in the tax code, full credits are available until December 31, 2029, after which a Phasedown…
HZB establishes a new efficiency record for CIGS Perovskite Tandem solar cells Researchers from Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy (HZB) and Humboldt University Berlin have developed a Cigs-Perovskite Tandem Solar cell that has set a new world record for efficiency, in which 24.6%is achieved. The performance of the cell is officially certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. Thin film solar cells, such as those based on copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS), require minimal material and energy to produce, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional solar cells based on silicon. CIGS Dunne films…
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) of Germany has achieved a world record of 24.6% efficiency rating for a perovskiet-copper indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) tandem solar cell. Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Isee) of Germany has confirmed the result. February 5, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from the German research institute HZB have achieved efficiency of 24.6% with a perovskiet-cigs tandem solar cell. The German Fraunhofer ISE has certified the result that the efficiency of 24.16% improves that the researchers achieved in August 2020 for the same type of cell. “By improving the contact layers between the upper and soil cells, they…
