Ecoflow launches 286 Wh portable power generator
The US-based company said its new River 3 Plus portable power station recharges from 0% to 100% in just one hour via AC outlet A version that includes wireless charging via an integrated 5,000 mAh power bank will be available later this year.
Experimental EV battery charges in 10 minutes in sub-zero temperatures
U.S. scientists have developed a lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles that enables high range and fast charging in cold weather. The battery uses a single-ion conducting glassy solid electrolyte coating and does not require changes to chemistries or production processes.
Solar-plus-storage for extreme low temperatures
Scientists in the United States have created a testing platform for energy harvesting in solar-plus-storage systems under extreme temperatures ranging from -180 C to 300 C.
Cadmium telluride vs. crystalline silicon in agrivoltaics
Researchers in Canada compared strawberry growth under uniform illumination from semi-transparent thin-film cadmium telluride panels and non-uniform illumination from semi-transparent crystalline silicon modules.
Canadian startup unveils substring inverter prototypes
Daanaa says its news Zodiac substring inverter delivers up to 42% more energy than a regular setup.
Lennox debuts residential heat pump for cold climates
The company says that its new SL22KLV heat pump system can supply heat in temperatures as low as -28.9 C. It uses R-454B as the refrigerant and has a size ranging from 2 tons to 5 tons.
U.S. startup unveils ‘world’s largest’ transparent organic PV window
Next Energy said its laminated transparent power-generating windows were produced with its pilot production line.
UL Solutions expands testing for heat pumps
UL Solutions says it will expand heat pump testing at its facilities in Texas and Italy to meet rising demand in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
The impact of wildfires on PV power generation
Scientists have studied the impact wildfires have on the availability of direct normal irradiance and global horizontal irradiance. The research found that direct irradiance is more sensitive to smoke than the PV-relevant global horizontal irradiance.
Enphase Energy rolls out software to prevent busbar overload
Enphase Energy has released new software to help homeowners install larger solar and battery systems without major electrical panel upgrades. It uses real-time measurements from current transformers to make immediate decisions.
