In a battle against electricity deficit, Sable Chemicals Industries will develop a major solar power project.

The Tennessee Valley Authority will certainly be installing its first owned and run energy storage space system near a commercial complex in Vonore, Tennessee, about 35 miles southwest of Knoxville.

Fraunhofer ISE spin-off NexWafe has actually elevated EUR10 million in a new Series B round of funding as the business transfers to another pilot production stage.

Engie has raised eyebrows with the installation of several solar benches in Biarritz, southwestern France, as a local official has asked citizens to avoid sitting on them for long periods of time in order to keep their energy yield up. But the authorities over in Cannes are clearly impressed, as the municipal government in the French Riviera resort town has also revealed plans to buy more of the PV benches, which are designed by Croatian startup Include.

A project from Oklahoma State University was picked to receive a $750,000 grant from NASA.

Researchers have introduced a new metric for determination of the highest allowable cost for cell efficiency increase and levelized cost of electricity optimization. The scientists have called this new parameter ‘value of efficiency’.

Peninsula Clean Energy entered a 15-year solar + storage PPA involving Leeward Renewable Energy's 102-MW Chaparral Solar Facility in Kern County, California. As part of the arrangement, Peninsula Clean Energy will additionally purchase the energy as well as ability from Chaparral's 52-MW/208 MWh battery storage space system.

Sweden-based solar maker Exeger is building a new factory to manufacture an advanced dye-sensitized material, which is supposed to allow solar-powered portable e-gadgets to operate infinitely with no need for battery recharge.

Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology and also TNO at Holst Centre have actually established a sensor that transforms light into an electric signal at an unbelievable 200% efficiency-- an apparently impossible figure that was accomplished through the exceptional nature of quantum physics.

Researchers in China from the Yunnan Normal University and the Jiaxing University have developed a PV-powered ac system that utilizes ice thermal storage rather than batteries to store power.

United States solar suppliers behind the controversial anti-circumvention petition have said they are "reviewing all choices" and could refile petitions in the future.

Railway operators can now feasibly connect solar plants to traction substations, claims a consortium that is now working on a similar demonstration project in the U.K. Almost all of the 30 kW installation’s output will be used to move trains, but in the future storage could come into the picture for larger “railway-connected” solar power projects, says 10:10, the U.K.-based climate change charity that developed the pilot.

The managing director of London-based energy infrastructure company Statera has told pv magazine a clean energy grid in the U.K. will require as much flexible gas plant capacity as battery storage.

The solar market has spent decades reducing the expense of creating electricity direct from the sun. Currently it's concentrating on making panels even more powerful.

A team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory has established a new characterization device that allowed them to gain unique insight right into a feasible different material for solar cells.
