Which solar battery stands out as the best? For those with rooftop solar installations, there’s potential to generate surplus energy. While your utility could compensate you for this surplus via net metering, you also have the option to store this energy in a battery for subsequent use. When you possess a battery charged with pristine electricity, it empowers you to sidestep peak fee periods, diminish your dependence on your utility, harness solar power after sundown, and ensure power availability during outages. Pairing solar with adequate storage could pave the way for a feasible off-grid existence. We examined over twelve batteries,…

The Biden administration Today reinstate imported bifacial solar panels under Sec. 201 tariffs, after the special solar panels enjoyed a two-year exemption from additional duties first initiated by President Biden in 2022. Credit: Appalachian Renewable Energy Systems (ARP Solar) This decision is part of the President’s exclusive right to make changes to current rates under Sec. 201 of the Trade Act of 1974, after the US International Trade Commission (USITC) submitted its interim report in February this year. All imported solar panels (regardless of country of origin) are currently subject to a 14.25% tariff as a way to protect domestic…

Chinese companies abandon Romanian solar tender after EU investigation Two Chinese solar panel makers have withdrawn from a public tender in Romania after the EU launched an investigation into foreign subsidies, Brussels said on Monday. Brussels is trying to boost renewable energy in Europe to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while moving away from excessive dependence on cheaper Chinese wind and solar technology. More broadly, the EU wants to defend European industry against growing threats from China and the United States, and has launched several investigations into Chinese companies over state subsidies. The European Commission launched an investigation in April into…

The Office of the President has shifted its focus on solar panels, announcing the elimination of the bifacial solar panel Section 301 tariff exclusion and addressing issues of stockpiling during trade, in addition to advancing the country’s manufacturing base. May 17, 2024 John Fitzgerald WeaverBy pv magazine USAThe Biden administration has released a fact sheet detailing several solar policy measures, including the elimination of the dual-sided solar panel exemption. This exemption previously allowed certain solar panels to avoid the Trump-era 15% tariff. Reinstating this rate is expected to increase the cost of commercial, industrial and large-scale solar projects by 1%…
According to an analysis by Abatable, the surplus of CORSIA-eligible carbon credits is expected to turn negative by 2030 unless new supplies become available. Currently, the aviation sector contributes approximately 3% of global emissions. As a sector that is difficult to decarbonise, it is exploring immediate, low-carbon technology solutions such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and electrification. However, these solutions face cost and technology hurdles and it will take some time before they become widespread. The challenge of decarbonizing aviation To limit emissions in the meantime, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) launched the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for…
In another article in a series, Women in Solar Europe (WiSEu) gives a voice to Zoraida Bejarano, Head of Talent Management at NextEnergy Group. She says the underrepresentation of women in solar industry recruitment processes complicates efforts to highlight inclusivity and address unconscious bias. May 17, 2024 Women in Solar Europe (WiSEu)Early in my career, like many women, I doubted my potential for success in a technical sector like solar energy. A supportive mentor helped me develop a credible approach, which boosted my confidence. On reflection, this was crucial.They encouraged me to create a strong value proposition and consider my…
