A California Public Utilities Commission Judge called for a “premature” order of additional electric capacity in the state to take advantage of lucrative renewable energy federal tax credits while they still exist.

A democratically organized nonprofit is giving a seat at the clean energy table to 36 communities in Western Fresno County.

When complete, the project will add 600 MW to the 3,245 MW of solar capacity on the Arkansas grid.

After the New Mexico’s investor-owned utilities fought against New Mexico’s community solar program, bringing it all the way to the state’ supreme court, New Mexico is celebrating the completion of its first community solar project.

Developed by D3Energy, the project is the first floating solar facility at a university in the United States. Despite increased capital investment to start a project, floating solar has advantages in land use and land lease costs as well as improved solar array efficiency.

With silver prices nearing $50 per ounce, researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) tell pv magazine that efforts to reduce silver use in solar cells will not compromise module quality if properly engineered.

Saatvik Green Energy chief executive Prashant Mathur said his company seeks to be “risk-free” and focus on the domestic market in India.

The US-based electrical balance of systems provider stated its new products are designed for utility-scale projects and the mid-capacity range. Both systems are IP68-tested.

Sustainable projects depend on prices — and suppliers — that hold up under compliance, delivery and long-term performance requirements.

Announcements from Vietnamese solar manufacturing company show its progress towards 3 gigawatts of capacity in each solar module assembly and cell fabrication

Researchers in California have created a new diagnostic metric that can reportedly predict if a battery can successfully power a specific task. The proposed model could be used in electric vehicles, unmanned aerial systems, and grid storage applications.

The U.S. manufacturer describes the novel rivet solution as an alternative to traditional bolted module connections.

Nexamp, Energy Vault, Generate Capital and NineDot Energy all announced major transactions to infuse more capital in their businesses.

The two-year-old power company has deployed more than 100 MWh of residential battery capacity across Texas, pooling thousands of installs in homes into a grid resource. It will now expand the model nationally in the US.

Solar module prices have increased as demand was pulled forward to meet the tax credit eligibility requirements, said a report from supply chain platform Anza.

Research from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has found zinc-phosphate-hydrate (ZPH) films are capable of producing electricity from light. The coating’s photovoltage was amplified when anthocyanin, a natural dye found in blackberries, was added.

Pittsburgh-based aerospace company Astrobotic and Honda’s North American subsidiary are working on integrating Astrobotic’s vertical solar array technology with Honda’s regenerative fuel cell system to develop a power and storage solution capable of supporting prolonged exploration of the moon.

Report says new evaluation methods, including AI, will help make future batteries safer.

Interconnection of bidirectional EV chargers can enable grid compensation for EV owners while enhancing safety, says a report that offers comprehensive guidance for regulators.

The International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) says dust, pollution, and debris on solar panels reduce output by 4% to 7% worldwide, costing the industry billions of euros annually and making tailored mitigation increasingly urgent.
