Trina Solar has taken legal action against Runergy for unauthorized use of Trina’s TOPCon solar cell technology patents. “Legal action will protect the integrity of Trina’s TOPCon technology,” said Steven Zhu, president of Trina Solar US. “At Trina, we embrace the power to protect our innovations and actively prosecute those who compromise our intellectual property.” Trina Solar says it holds more than 2,000 patents, including a significant number of key TOPCon technology patents. Trina has filed a patent infringement complaint against Runergy USA/Runergy Alabama in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. Runergy is said to have used Trin’a’s proprietary TOPCon…
The Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) says total investment in the off-grid solar sector reached $425 million in 2023, down 43% year-on-year. It says the industry must address the lack of financing at an early stage to meet development and climate goals. May 9, 2024 Patrick JowettTotal investments in the off-grid solar sector reached $425 million in 2023, down 43% from the previous year, according to figures published by GOGLA.The association said pv magazine there was a “significant anomaly” that distorted last year’s figures, when leading off-grid installer Sun King raised $330 million in equity. “However, it is worth noting…
A new mobile power generator that combines solar energy and renewable hydrogen to provide emission-free power for remote and off-grid applications has been unveiled by Australian startup H2PowerBox. May 8, 2024 David CarollBy pv magazine AustraliaH2PowerBox has launched its eponymous integrated solar hydrogen energy system that generates and stores hydrogen during the day through electrolysis and uses a fuel cell to convert it back to electricity when necessary, providing an alternative to mobile diesel generators in off-grid scenarios.The trailer-mounted system is equipped with solar panels, a high-performance electrolyzer and a fuel cell. An integrated intelligent energy management system enables efficient…
As summer approaches, the looming fear of high energy bills also increases. The increased use of air conditioning units, fans and other cooling systems can dramatically increase your energy costs, leaving you with hefty bills. However, there is a sustainable and cost-effective solution to this problem: solar panels. More specifically, residential solar panels are becoming an increasingly popular means of reducing energy costs while contributing to a greener, more sustainable future.
Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a scalable two-step evaporation and inkjet process for perovskite thin-film solar cells. The new technique reportedly makes it possible to build champion cells with the same efficiency as those made with the spin coating process. May 8, 2024 Valerie ThompsonA research team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a scalable two-step process for the formation of organic perovskite thin films that has the potential to be used on structured substrates.The process, described as a scalable and reliable technique for high-performance perovskite deposition, combines the use of an…
By Chris Crowell May 9, 2024 Adaptation renewable energy sources (ARI) begins work on two 128 MWdc projects in central Illinois. The projects are expected to start later this year and commercial operation is expected in early 2026. ARI says the projects will create more than 300 jobs and have more than $250 million in economic impact for local communities during construction.Adjustment selected Alberici as a contractor for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC).

Amea Power has started construction of a 120 MW solar power plant in northeastern Tunisia. Once operational, the plant is expected to generate 222 GWh of clean energy per year. May 9, 2024 Patrick JowettDubai-based Amea Power has started construction of a 120 MW solar power plant in Tunisia. Located in northeastern Tunisia, the project is being implemented on a build-own-operate basis by Kairouan Solar Plant, a project company registered in Tunisia and fully owned by Amea Power.Financial close of the $86 million project was achieved in September 2023 thanks to financing from International Finance Corp. and the African Development…
Sunrun has networked more than 16,200 customers’ solar + storage systems to support California’s electrical grid during the hot summer months. Sunrun’s CalReady power plant will reduce strain on the grid by supplying critical energy to communities that need it throughout California in order to reduce costs and help prevent power emergencies. For the second year in a row, Sunrun is demonstrating how uniquely capable, reliable and readily available its solar + storage systems are as an essential grid solution. In the summer of 2023, Sunrun’s Peak Power Rewards program supplied Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) up to 32…
