Brightnight and Cordelio Power announced a new electricity purchase agreement with Arizona Public Service (APS), the largest electricity provider in Arizona. According to the agreement, APS will buy energy from Brightnight and Cordeli’s Pioneer Clean Energy Center, a 300 MW of solar energy and 1,200 MWH Battery Energy Storage Facility in Yuma County, Arizona. The Pioneer Project delivers reliable, affordable and clean electricity to APS customers. “At APS we evaluate and select careful projects that deliver the most long -term value for our customers. The Pioneer Clean Energy Center is part of our growing solar energy and battery energy storage…

A look in the dark An international team of researchers, led by the University of Gotingen, has introduced a new technique to observe the formation of dark excitons – elusive energy managers with potential applications in solar cells, LEDs and detectors. Their findings, published in *Nature Photonics *, offer new insights into these energy states, which had previously been a challenge to follow in real time. Dark excitons are particle couples formed when an excited electron leaves a positively charged vacancy or “hole”, which remains bound by Coulomb interaction. In contrast to typical excitons, dark excitons do not turn out…

The Buildout takes place in the domestic solar -supply chain and at full capacity, planned facilities will produce sufficiently to meet the demand for solar energy in the US, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. February 4, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA The production of solar module in the US has grown five-time since the passage of the Inflation reduction Act (IRA), the two-part infrastructure legislation and the Chips Act. The US is now the 3RD The largest producer of the solar module in the world, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. SEIA reported that 70…

The IEC prepares a new skills competence schedule for employees involved in the photovoltaic market for solar energy. The secretary of IEC TC 82, George Kelly, tells us about this new schedule and reflects on the standardization challenges for his TC. February 4, 2025 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Why are there no certification services for Solar PV systems in EcreThe IEC system for certification for standards with regard to equipment for use in applications for renewable energy?

Absolar, which specializes in commercial solar installation, designed and mounted the panels around 700 skylights on the warehouse roof. Image: Absolar. Absolar, based in Southampton, has completed the installation of a 520 KWP roof solar panel on a draper of Draper Tools in North Badderly, Hampshire. The private wire installation comprises more than 900 photovoltaic panels and 12.5 km of cabling. On the day of completion it generated 73% of the power needs of the facility. Draper, which distributes hand and electricity tools over the VK, said that the installation of solar energy is part of a broader dedication to…

ACWA Power works together with Sefe to set up a hydrogen bridge between Saudi Aarabia and Germany, while the Danish government has committed up to $ 1.1 billion to develop a new hydrogen pipeline. February 4, 2025 Sergio Matalucci ACWA Power And Sefe agreed to producing and transporting green hydrogen from Saudi Arabia to Europe. They want to deliver 200,000 tons annually in 2030. ACWA -Stroom said It will lead the development, investments and operation of green hydrogen and ammonia production activa, while Sefe co-investing and serving as the primary offtaker. The Danish Government has announced new initiatives to support…

LR: Chris Hewett, Ben Fawcett, Remy Gillet and Mark Wakeford and Solar Finance and Investment Europe.
