Slovenia has reserved € 16 million ($ 16.7 million) to support solar energy communities, for which projects must include at least 100 kW of PV energy, with or without storage. The program runs until 2027. January 29, 2025 Lior Kahana Image: Sleepwright, Pixabay The Slovenian Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development has launched a program of € 16 million to subsidize new self-sufficient PV energy communities. The EU cohesion policy program of the government and the Slovenia are co-financing of the initiative, the ministry said in a statement. “The total nominal capacity of the installed photovoltaic modules must be at…

New technology follows dark excitons for future solar cells How can modern technologies, such as solar cells, be optimized? An international team of researchers, led by the University of Gotingen, starts this question with the help of an innovative new technology. For the first time, the formation of small, elusive particles – known as dark excitons – is accurately followed in both time and space. These invisible energy carriers are ready to play a crucial role in the development of future solar cells, LEDs and detectors. The findings were published in Nature Photonics. Dark excitons are extremely small pairs consisting…

De Zoantellel was developed by an international team, including the Kaust of Saudi Arabia and the Chinese Academy of Science. January 29, 2025 Emiliano Bellini An international research team led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a 3D/2D perovskite solar cell based on a meta-amidinopyridine (MAP) Ligand that allegedly the Ferroelectric properties and passivation effects Can improve at the Cell’s 3D/2D interface without deteriorating loading transport. Perovskiet cells built with 2D hybrid materials are known for their stability and show large exciton -binding energy compared to conventional 3D devices. Various organic…

After a challenging 2024, characterized by high inventory levels and a falling demand for residential requirements, the inverter market will restore in 2025. Worldwide inverters are expected to increase by 7% to reach 570 gigawatts, an alternating current (GWAC), with an increase in inverter shipments on the European market as stock levels that are slowly balanced, according to the latest prediction for the worldwide inverter market of S&P Global Commodity Insights, the leading independent supplier of information, data, analysis, benchmark prices and workflow solutions for the raw materials and energy transition markets. The competition will remain intense as more players…

By Brad Kramer January 29, 2025 Washers of the State Washington have proposed a dual bill that makes it possible for the establishment of an extensive community program for the community. Senator Sharon Shewmake (D-Bellingham) and Rep. Adam Bernbaum (D-Port Townsend) introduced the Fair access to Community Zonnewet (SB 5515/HB 1598). The legislation would offer fair access to affordable, reliable, locally placed renewable energy for ratepayers of electric utilities in the state, in particular income qualified households, tenants and others who cannot install solar panels on their houses. Shewmake is chairman of the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Committee. “The…

Supply chain solutions provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services has commissioned a 4.99-MWAC solar project in Gentry, Arkansas, that should generate enough electricity to offset 80% of the power used by J.B. Hunt’s three main corporate campus buildings in Lowell, Arkansas. The 40-acre solar site, which uses a combination of mono- and bifacial solar panels, is expected to produce 9.3 million kWh annually, sending the electricity to the grid for Carroll County Electric. “By commissioning this solar facility, J.B. Hunt is demonstrating our commitment to enhancing the communities we serve and to investing in economically viable practices aimed at creating a…

PS Renewables has successfully appealed against the refusal of the building permit for the project. Image: American Public Power Association via Unsplash. Developer of renewable energy sources of renewable energy has been given permission for a 34 MW Solar PV energy plant in Lincolnshire, after an appeal to the planning inspection. Plans for the Solar Solar Farm, which are located on 42 Hecatares of Land to the south of the city of Welby, were initially refused by the South Kesteven District Council in July 2024, mainly because of the proposed development that resulted in the temprorary loss of 27.5 hectares…
