Scientists at the University of Maryland have developed an organic polymer electrode which they claim demonstrates stable function for a sodium-ion battery over 50,000 cycles and also offers encouraging performance in magnesium-ion and aluminum-ion storage devices.

The Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) has issued two tenders for the supply and installation of 5,000 small solar irrigation pumps and 700 solar trees in the state.

Five different types of solar cells fabricated by research teams at the Georgia Institute of Technology have arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to be tested for their power conversion rate and ability to operate in the harsh space environment as part of the MISSE-12 mission. One type of cell, made of low-cost organic materials, has not been extensively tested in space before.

The Space Solar project will supply electricity to distant military posts, with no necessity to endanger convoys.

The major string solar inverter supplier is going to focus on large-scale solar projects development along with engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning in China

Prism Solar Technologies, Inc., an American PV manufacturer, has got a new supply order from the huge financial holding JPMorgan Chase Bank for photovoltaic panels for JP’s financial institutions throughout the United States.

Smart Energy Hub system can work both as an electrolyser and as a fuel cell. In the first case, it stores energy in the form of biogas. In the second case, it converts gas into heat and electricity. The system has been developed by Sylfen and French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.

France-based EDF Group has acquired the British company Pivot Power. The UK firm has built the storage battery systems of 2 gigawatt power throughout Great Britain.

Rice University scientists believe they've overcome a major hurdle keeping perovskite-based solar cells from achieving mainstream use.

Stem, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services, announced today that it is partnering with NEC Energy Solutions, headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, to simplify and optimize the deployment and operation of solar-plus-storage projects.

The largest China-based solar-grade mono-Si wafer maker LONGi Green Energy Technology has been pushing for usage of M6 solar-grade mono-Si wafers (in a square shape eith side width of 166mm) through adopting such wafers for its in-house production of PERC (passivated emitter and rear cell) mono-Si solar cells, according to industry sources.

Insolvency proceedings started against Solibro, formerly one of the major thin-film PV suppliers in Germany. The creditors couldn’t invest the funds sufficient for the company’s restructuring. As a result, about 180 people will find themselves unemployed.

Alliant Energy Corp. uncovers its “Powering What’s Next” draft. This long-lasting project is aimed at faster shifting to green energy in Wisconsin.

A new type of PV plants is being developed: solar systems consisting of rows of small man-made sunflowers, which automatically turn their heads toward the sun.

Dominion Energy, Inc., is creating the biggest PV plant for now. The facility will be located in Fort Powhatan, the Commonwealth of Virginia.
