Researchers in China have reported a breakthrough in the development of aluminum ion batteries. They have created a solid-state electrolyte that facilitates the smooth movement of aluminum ions, which considerably improves battery performance and a long service life. January 29, 2025 Mariha Maisch Image: Adapted from ACS Central Science 2024, DOI: 10.1021/ACSentsci.4C01615 By ESS News The environmentally friendly and high-safe aluminum ion batteries have attracted a lot of interest, but the extensive use of expensive electrolyte, strong moisture sensitivity and severe corrosion of the al-anode have limited their commercial application. Now researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology, University of…

Anthony Doherty, Chief Investment Officer of NTR, noted: “We…

The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) recently announced updates for his Program for energy storage solutions programIncluding the opening of tranches 3 of the commercial and industrial (C&I) incentives, as well as the redistribution of 140 MW capacity of the residential sector to the C&I sector that corresponds to the growing demand for storage. This redistribution will help the program achieve its goals faster and lower total costs and at the same time take advantage of more C&I real estate. A solar storage project completed by Nexamp. In the residential sector, the market has seen a steady increase in…

Scientists have compared conventional PV modules with homemade BIPV panels with thicker glass with a pattern. They tested them both under standard conditions and outdoors under Korean summer conditions. The yield turned out to be only 0.5% lower in the BIPV module with structured. January 29, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from South Korea have built a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system that uses glass with pattern for its aesthetic qualities and analyzed against a conventional module. In contrast to earlier studies that reported lower energy yields in BIPV systems, the findings of this recent study have only shown minimal loss. “Various…

Levels Energy says in a new report that the prices of the American Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in the fourth quarter increased by 3.3%, possibly due to policy uncertainty. January 29, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Levents Energy, a PPA-marketing operator, has released its fourth quarter “PPA -price index”Report. It said that the PPA prices of solar energy in the last three months of 2024 rose by 3.3% in the United States. “The rise in solar prices in the United States can be related to uncertainties surrounding rates, tax credits and build -out of the transmission,” the…
