Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are increasingly used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications for data centers and to speed grid connections, offering services beyond what gas turbines can provide, including emerging approaches such as bring your own capacity (BYOC) and flexible grid connections (FGC).
AER flags cut in cost of electricity for households and businesses across the NEM, as wholesale power prices get the benefit of more wind and big batteries.
Scientists from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), RMIT University and the University of Melbourne have developed a quantum battery prototype that demonstrates rapid, scalable energy storage using collective quantum effects.
GBP K.K., a Japan-based clean energy infrastructure company, has launched perimeter fencing systems for grid-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) sites, targeting security in difficult terrain and noise mitigation near residential areas.
With new incentives driving battery uptake, the focus is shifting to size and flexibility - and Fox ESS is betting on modular systems that can grow with household energy needs.
Pakistan’s Renewables First has explored the implications of a lack of official data collection from the country’s distributed solar market segment, which is estimated to have reached over 24 GW of installed capacity by the middle of last year.
The Nexis solution combines a flexibly configurable hybrid inverter with a modular high-voltage battery offering up to 14 kW charging capacity per stack. The inverter delivers 8–20 kW AC power, supports up to 200% DC oversizing, and features IP65-rated design with integrated backup power.
India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has expanded its Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) framework to include solar ingots and wafers, with mandatory compliance for new project bids taking effect from June 1, 2028.
Rooftop solar company Solarium Green Energy has commissioned a 1 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, producing large-format G12 modules up to 725 Wp and serving both internal and external customers.
As rooftop solar, home batteries and EV uptake surges, networks seek regulatory change to boost flexibility, two way flows and lower costs in homes.
The Silicon and New Concepts for Solar Cells (SyNC) research group at the Institute of Solar Energy (IES) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) has produced high-efficiency two-dimensional solar cell prototypes using the "hot-pick-up" technique, with simulations suggesting the cells could meet up to 30% of a building's energy needs when applied to facades.
The latest round of Japan’s carbon financing program, which provides financial support for low-carbon infrastructure projects in partner countries, is backing a 130 MW solar project being built in southeastern Tunisia.
Researchers in Brazil have developed a weighted PV inverter efficiency methodology that accounts for country-specific solar irradiance and operating conditions. The approach is designed to address the limitations of international metrics by incorporating variables such as input voltage and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performance.
A random malware variant affected about 800 remote monitoring devices at ground-mounted PV plants in Japan in May 2024. Tokyo-based cybersecurity firm Girasol Energy has told pv magazine what happened and how PV asset owners can protect themselves against such incidents.
Researchers in Hong Kong Hong Kong fabricated a thermochromic bifacial photovoltaic glazing system prototype that passively regulates solar heat gain while harvesting energy from both sides. Experiments and simulations showed it significantly reduces cooling loads and indoor temperatures while boosting electricity generation.
