LandGate said as of Q1 2025 datacenters in the U.S. use 200 TWh of electricity annually, up from 147 TWh in 2023, and demand is expected to continue to accelerate.
pv magazine spoke with Garikoitz Sarriegi, senior project manager at Kiwa PI Berlin Ibérica, about the Reuters report published on Wednesday that devices susceptible to spying and sabotage had been found in inverters and batteries from China.
Scientists have developed a precursor formulation for different PV simulation tools that can help calculate the expected performance of solar farms deployed on hilly slopes. Validation tests against an experimental setup showed an error of less than 3%.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s online is designed to support more efficient siting and permitting for solar projects.
U.S. officials are reassessing the risks posed by Chinese-made devices in renewable energy infrastructure according to news agency. Reuters cites two unnamed sources “familiar with the matter.”
Many grid operators are overwhelmed by projects, according to a report by Enverus.
The Washington Center for Equitable Growth seeks proposals for academic research on how the Inflation Reduction Act’s policy design, coordination and implementation affects equitable economic outcomes of the clean energy transition.
Scientists from Cornell University combined quantum computing with model predictive control to manage the energy of two PV-equipped university buildings. Compared to deterministic approaches, the quantum strategy achieved a 6.8% improvement in energy efficiency and an annual reduction of 41.2% in carbon emissions.
An international team led by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has used ionic salt for the electron transport layer of a perovskite solar cell to improve device stability and performance. Test results showed a 26% power conversion efficiency with 2% degradation after 2,100 hours of 1-sun operation at 65 C.
In another weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that strong jet stream and Eastern storms split solar conditions across the U.S. in April, with the east experiencing a downturn in solar irradiance while the northwest saw irradiance gains.
