Hoymiles launches 5.12 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery for rooftop PV applications

The Chinese manufacturer said its new LB-5D-G2 battery offers excellent performance with 5.12 kWh capacity for a single unit and up to 81.92 kWh for 16 batteries running in parallel.

2024 delivers mixed solar outcomes despite heat records

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that variations in weather patterns, including El Niño and regional droughts, shaped solar energy performance worldwide last year.

Curtailing solar photovoltaics is here to stay, overbuilding PV will become normal

As the penetration of variable renewable energy increases, curtailment of solar PV generation will only increase. Since curtailment will almost always be cheaper than investing in new transmission capacity or new grid-scale storage, curtailed energy should be rewarded, so that PV investment decisions can include curtailment as one of the flexibility options for grid operators.

Jordanian government promotes small scale solar

The new government of Jordan has been described by analysts as progressive on clean energy. Public support for solar has already been widespread, with tariffs for home systems encouraging people to adopt low-cost energy.

Timber PV canopy for EV charging station in Austria

Norway’s Mer Group has installed a pilot EV charging station with a timber canopy in Spittal an der Drau, Austria, in collaboration with local partners.

Eyes in the sky: Meteosat third generation set to improve solar forecasting

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite is now beginning operational testing. The new satellite will offer sharper and more detailed, frequent imagery, providing a significant boost to solar irradiance estimates.

Billing and services software for commercial solar rooftops

UK startup Volter has launched software to simplify revenue generation for owners of commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar assets. It also supports installers and power purchase agreement (PPA) providers active in commercial rooftop solar markets.

Assessing impact of fire on PV facades

An international research team has analyzed which factors contribute to fire accidents in PV facades and has found that the distance between the wall and the photovoltaic modules plays a crucial role. The scientists also said project developers should attentively consider what combustible materials are embedded in the wall cavity.

Christmas Day forecast delivers solar surprises for some

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that, while much of the Americas will see cloudier weather than normal for the season, particularly in the eastern United States and parts of central Brazil, Europe’s solar outlook is split with high pressure over central regions bringing clearer skies to the Iberian Peninsula. Across Asia, cloud cover is expected for India and the Far East, while Australia’s northern and eastern regions are likely to enjoy abundant sunshine.

Scientist develops machine-learning method to identify faulty solar panels

A scientist in Sweden has developed a new hybrid local features-based method using thermographs to identify faulty solar panels.
