Arevon Energy's Eland project: A $2 billion solar-plus-storage marvel boosting California's renewable transition with 758 MWdc solar and 300 MW storage.

Scientists from 3 Japanese colleges have actually established a procedure based upon inkjet printing they claim might decrease the expense of perovskite solar battery manufacturing. The team produced little cells with effectiveness as high as 13.19%, a number they declare is assuring sufficient to use the opportunity of scaling approximately business manufacturing.

Oil rates may remain in the dumps, but solar stocks are still uploading huge gains

Australian scientists have actually recognized 7 methods to avoid PV losses when overvoltage-induced inverter disconnections happen. The techniques consist of battery storage space, responsive power inverters, export restrictions, distribution static synchronous compensators, the replacement of old conductors in power grids, load reconfiguration, as well as dynamic voltage repair.

A study has estimated the cost of PV project soiling may increase from €3-5 billion last year to €4-7 billion by 2023 due to more extensive deployment in high insolation and soiling-affected regions, such as China and India. The authors of the paper outlined the potential of soiling mitigation technologies while stressing more R&D is needed to reduce costs and for the adoption of such measures on a larger scale.

Economic thinktank Carbon Tracker used financial modeling to determine the profitability of every coal power plant in the EU. On average, 79% of the facilities run at a loss, with Germany, Spain and Czechia among the states particularly exposed to the consequences – for coal investors and the public.

A Malaysian study has compared the techniques used to reduce total harmonic distortion caused by PV systems. The paper, which considers the benefits and drawbacks of the approaches studied, suggests the use of adaptive filters.

After my recent article about solar electric vehicles (EVs), I came across something I didn’t expect to see so fast. Since the prices of both used EVs and solar panels have fallen so much, the price is now where DIY tinkerers are willing to break out their Dremel tools and make a go of it themselves.

Earlier this week, the French government published a list of winning projects for the sixth round of its tender for large-scale solar. There were a few changes from the preceding round, with French companies such as Urbasolar, Engie and Total consolidating their positions. However, even though a higher number of projects were submitted, prices increased slightly in the end. In a short conversation with pv magazine, Xavier Daval — a representative of SER, the French renewable energy association — explained the reasons for this.

Deploying commercial and industrial PV in China without subsidy is already profitable in some areas, according to a new study, but prohibitive soft costs and cheap electricity are the main barriers for such installations in areas where grid parity remains out of reach.

Scientists at RMIT University have actually developed a solar smokeshaft that both conserves power, as well as conserves lives. The solar smokeshaft, part of a series of lasting attributes developed right into the brand-new Mentone Reserve Pavilion in Melbourne's Kingston.

Japan cools perovskite hype, prioritizing durable, scalable gains as cheap silicon dominates; roadmap shifts to niche wins, cost cuts, and manufacturing know‑how through the 2030s.

Lodestone Energy’s Coromandel utility-scale solar farm powers NZ’s grid by day, cutting prices; biodiversity-friendly, low-glare design, future battery and SCADA-led uptime boost resilience and local jobs.

Chile’s 2025/01 power tender for 3,360 GWh draws $38/MWh bids and hybrid solar-storage, with awards imminent—promising cheaper power, disciplined interconnection, and flexible PPAs across the north-center grid.

Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) announces that Sargent & Lundy will act on IPL’s behalf to facilitate an all-source request for proposals (RFP) to meet future electric needs of our customers and the communities it serves. The RFP considers all potential options for replacement generation capacity so IPL can continue to deliver safe, reliable and affordable power to its 500,000 customers.
