L’Energética, a regional energy company in Catalonia, Spain, has invested €10 million ($10.7 million) in solar plants with a combined capacity of at least 5 MW.

The new Trxone, a single-row tracker with short independently tracked rows that are not subject to the tracking algorithm of the master row. The trackers are manufactured separately for each project.

The new tracker incorporates cardan joint technology along its main axis of rotation, which allows each section of torque tube to have a different inclination or slope while maintaining the continuity of the rotation and rotation of the PV modules.

The windows, composed of glass-glass BIPV panels with thermal and acoustic insulation, are designed for use on building exteriors. They can generate between 150 and 225 W/m2. While currently manufactured and marketed in Spain, they may soon be available in Germany.

Spain’s Civil Guard suspects two detainees and another individual of stealing 186 solar panels from a PV plant in Aldeamayor de San Martín and selling them illegally.

France’s Sunology says its new Play Max system is “the world’s first plug-and-play station with an integrated modular battery.”

Solum has developed the Arena solar panel, which serves as anti-slip flooring for roofs and terraces. The manufacturer says it is as efficient as conventional PV modules, with a calculated return on investment in four years in Spain.

Soltec has developed a floating PV tracker with pumps in the central tank for mobility and ballast, enabling operation in wind gusts above 100 km/h.

Elewit, the tech platform of Spain’s Red Eléctrica de España (REE), has revealed plans to build a hybrid storage project in the Canary Islands, featuring an 18.8 MVA virtual synchronous compensator and a 16 MW hybrid solution based on ultracapacitors.

FutureVoltaics says it has developed pre-assembled, reflector-based vertical rooftop PV systems. The systems feature 175 W heterojunction bifacial solar modules and special reflectors on both sides.
