With California is expected to make two million installations shortage of the goal of 2030, the bill wants to make installing heat pumps and HVAC systems faster and easier. April 15, 2025 Rachel Metea By PV Magazine USA A bill in the Senate of California wants to streamline the permit process of California for heat pumps And create a certification program for contractors who install heat pumps and heat pump heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Introduced by Sen. Wiener (D), SB 282whether the “heat pump access law” would create: a simplified process that prohibits jurisdictions or homeowners’ associations…

With a fully integrated Power Conversion System (PCS), Battery Management System (BMS) and Energy Management System (EMS), PowerStack 255CS has intended to streamline energy storage activities and at the same time reduce installation complexity. April 15, 2025 Vincent Shaw By ESS News China’s Sungrow has introduced its latest innovation-the PowerStack 255Cs, a liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS) that is specially designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) applications. Unveiled on the Global Renewable Energy Summit 2025 (Gres2025) in Hefei, China, the system focuses on long -term implementation -challenges in the C&I sector and offers a compact and very scalable solution.…

Researchers in Iraq have designed a cascade converter with multiple levels that can produce supposedly of high quality sinus-shaped output voltage and current wave shapes, while reducing harmonic distortion. It uses the so-called phase-Disposition-level pulse width modulation (PDLSPWM) control technology to operate the switches in the circuit “effectively”. April 14, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Nawroz University in Iraq have designed an asymmetrical cascade converter at 49 level that is said to reduce harmonic distortion and can produce high-quality sinus-shaped tension. The new Configuration Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) is said to effectively operate the switches in the circuit, thanks to the…

The Great Oak Energy Hub is located in Sussex and the 400 MW Bess site was designed in collaboration with experts on the KNEPP Estate. Illustrated map of the Great Oak Energy Hub via Clearstone Energy. Developer Clearstone Energy has secured the planning allocation for two large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in England. Both projects, the 300 MW/600MWH Bramford Storage project and the 400 MW/800MWH Great Oak Energy Hub, received planning permission without outstanding objections from legal consulti’s or local fire and rescue services. The Bramford Bess project comprises eight hectares of land 400 meters east of the existing…

Commercial activities have started at GS Power Partners'(GSPP) Dorsey Run Solar, a solar array on the roof organized on an industrial building in Maryland, owned by an account managed by Principal Asset Management. Black Bear Energy The project facilitated in collaboration with GSPP, from concept to commissioning. “Dorsey Run Solar represents a number of important milestones for GSPP. It was our first project in Maryland and marks more than 8 MW installed solar energy in collaboration with Black Bear Energy. Moreover, it emphasizes the strength of our long-term partnership with Neighborhood Office Sun partners. In addition to supplying cheap renewable…

After a dizzying week of escalating rates between the United States and China, the US government issued exemptions over smartphones, semiconductors and other electronics, including one solar panel: solar panel frames. The rate back and forth began with the announcement of President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ on 2 April, which eventually focused, specifically to China. In a late Friday announcement, the government has issued a list of exclusions of the mutual rates, which were largely focused on consumer electronics. Almost all smartphones, computers or other devices are made in China or Asia, and these exclusions to the rates would provide relief…

Volta Group and Richel Group have commissioned a photovoltaic greenhouse in France for Kiwi cultivation. April 14, 2025 Francois Puthod By PV Magazine France Volta Group, an independent producer of renewable energy, and Richel Group, a European manufacturer of greenhouses and flexible storage solutions, have jointly built a PV greenhouse with a Kiwi plantation in Drôme department, Southeast France. The greenhouse, built with recycled or recyclable materials, including steel, aluminum and glass, makes Kiwi cultivation possible and generates 7.3 GWH electricity per year – enough for around 3,000 people. “The greenhouse offers us a controlled environment that protects our crops…
