Panasonic has launched its new R32 heat pumps, introducing the EXTERIOS Z and ClimaPure XZ series. The models offer heating capacities ranging from 10,900 Btu/h to 28,800 Btu/h, depending on specifications.
Juwi says it will construct a $33.2 million solar-plus-storage project in Senegal, integrating a 20 MW solar plant with 11 MWh of battery storage. The system will meet 20% of the energy needs of the Grande Côte mineral sands mine.
Scientists in Malysia have tested a system that combines a PV panel and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and have found it offers potential for “moderate” nighttime power generation. It is suitable for small household applications such as LED lights, laptops, phone chargers, and wireless routers.
Benin has started construction of the 25 MW Forsun PV plant, which is set to join the Defisol and TTC projects to expand the Illoulofin Solar Power Station’s total capacity to 75 MW. The government said the project is backed by a $25.8 million investment.
Grenada is seeking an independent power producer (IPP) to build and operate a 15.1 MW utility-scale PV project for 25 years. The plant, planned near Maurice Bishop International Airport, will supply about 40% of the island’s peak load.
The German company said that its new storage solution also includes an integrated inverter function. It can be expanded to up to 17.3 kWh by connecting up to three modules.
Adveco has released 65 kW and 110 kW heat pumps, capable of scaling up to 1,760 kW by controlling up to 16 systems from a single unit. The pumps feature R32 refrigerant circuits.
Scientists in Switzerland have created a system-dynamics model for the adoption of PV and heat pumps in Swiss residential buildings up to 2050. They have examined several scenarios to see how the incentive for PV affects heat pump adoption and the other way around, and they have concluded that strong regulatory changes are necessary to completely decarbonize the residential sector.
An international research team has created a digital twin that purportedly enables analysis of different scenarios on PV plants’ aerial monitoring. The new tool is claimed to reduce the risk associated with real-world experimentation and help identify the most effective strategies to improve PV system monitoring.
Israel plans to bild a 2,000-square-meter solar PV project in the occupied Palestinian territories and has directed civilian authorities in the West Bank to identify suitable land and launch a tender within a year. The project may also include energy storage options.
