US-based Origami Solar has overcome two key challenges to replace aluminum solar module frames with steel products. The company says it can offer improved performance and a compelling value proposition, particularly for module makers setting up outside China. pv magazine caught up with Origami Solar CEO Gregg Patterson to discuss steel frames and the company’s expansion plans. ...
Scientists have developed a multi-physics thermal model for panels with a natural convection cooling loop and tested it against experimental data. They have also experimented with varying the coolant channel thickness and different coolants. The highest measured electrical efficiency reached 15.45%. ...
Waaree Energies says it has secured environmental product declaration (EPD) certification for its bifacial mono passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar panels. ...
Researchers have proposed an atmospheric polygeneration system for hot, humid climates that generates water, cooling, and hydrogen, while Inpex has started preparations for a blue hydrogen production project in Niigata, Japan. ...
Department of Energy, through its Loan Programs Office, announced a $861.3 million loan guarantee to finance the construction of two solar photovoltaic farms equipped with battery storage and two standalone battery energy storage systems in Puerto Rico. ...
Due to supportive policies and favourable economics, the world’s renewable power capacity is expected to surge over the rest of this decade, with global additions on course to roughly equal the current power capacity of China, the European Union, India and the United States combined, according to a new IEA report out this week.The Renewables 2024 report, the IEA’s flagship annual publication on ...

The number of large-scale PV power plants is growing rapidly, as is the number of residential, commercial and industrial PV installations combined with storage systems. SolarPower Europe’s Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2024–2028 reports a global PV growth of 87 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year. 447 gigawatts (GW) of capacity were ...
In anticipation of the increasing digitalisation of the energy sector, SolarPower Europe have published a new position paper on cybersecurity (here). Alongside the position paper, SolarPower Europe has issued an accompanying statement. Dries Acke, Deputy CEO of SolarPower Europe (he/him): “The digitalisation of the energy sector is a no-brainer. It increases power plant efficiency and ...
Who doesn’t want to save 100% on their electricity bill? Everyone does, but how? Generating electricity through alternate ways like solar PV system can ultimately reduce the electricity bill by up to 90%. But what Solar components like solar inverters and batters should common man select? This is a commonly asked question. And we have come up with the solution. FoxEss Pakistan ...
The U.S. Department of Energy is amending its list of categories of projects which, because they typically do not have significant environmental impacts, qualify for the simplest form of environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). DOE is simplifying the environmental review process for certain energy storage systems such as battery systems, transmission line upgrades, ...
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): The course examined the integration of BESS with solar installations, highlighting how energy storage is becoming increasingly crucial for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of solar power systems.
