A brand-new report released the other day (July 1), State of The Global Mini-Grids Market Report 2020 has actually dug deeply into the present, prospective, and also barriers to more development of mini-grids worldwide. For its research study and also conclusions, the report focused on mini-grids in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and little island countries.

Scientists at NREL have conducted the first worldwide evaluation into the most appealing techniques to end-of-life monitoring for solar PV panels.

Sharp pivots premium: space-grade solar cells and perovskite‑silicon tandems chase durability and peak efficiency, aiming Japanese leadership in high-value PV from orbit to ultra-efficient rooftops.

Sterling and Wilson lands a 240‑MW South Africa EPC, its second this fiscal, betting on early gear buys, modular substations, and grid-code compliance to mitigate volatility and accelerate energization.

Engie and NHOA’s 80MW/320MWh Brussels battery tames evening ramps with grid-forming finesse—peaking, arbitraging and stabilizing—urban-safe, bankable and circular, powering Belgium’s wind, solar and cross-border flows.

Constant Energy names EPC for 52-MW Malaysia solar, locking costs and fast-tracking build with bifacial trackers, SCADA, drone O&M, battery-ready substations, and flexible PPAs amid volatile supply chains.

EnergyRe inks PPAs for 360 MW South Carolina solar, storage-ready and evening-shifting—locking price certainty, lender backing, and local jobs as demand surges from electrification, data centers, extreme weather.

OX2 breaks ground on a 165-MWp Polish solar park, targeting 2026 commissioning. With PV growth surging, developers prioritize grid readiness, delivery risk, and bankable designs.

Scientists led by an Oregon State University scientist have developed a new electrolyte that elevates the efficiency of the zinc metal anode in zinc batteries to almost 100%, an innovation on the way to an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage.

According to a new report by BNP Paribas Asset Management, renewables offer more advantages than simply mitigating climate change. Electricity is easier to transport than oil, and wind and solar electricity prices are much more stable than volatile oil prices. An analyst from the French bank argues that major producers will need to reduce oil prices below $20 to compete with clean energy in the transport sector.

New solar-powered desalination plant provides fresh water in Kenya. The plant is already able to support 25,000 people a day. As more water-scarce regions pop up worldwide, technology such as this offers an energy efficient way to provide fresh water.

With the anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed in November 2013 set to expire nine months ago, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal has extended them for another five years, ruling their expiry would harm the nation’s only domestic manufacturer.

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.

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.

' Solar Module Super League' member First Solar has actually intended to increase down on manufacturing with the sale of its O&M division, having actually started conversations around the future of its EPC company.
