A group of researchers have carried out a techno-economic analysis of three revamping strategies for an operating photovoltaic power plant in southeast Spain. They found the highest production value by installed power is obtained when both the modules and inverters are replaced.
ConnectDER has secured $35 million in Series D funding to support its meter socket adapter (MSA) business, which integrates solar, storage, EV charging and more while avoiding main electrical panel upgrades.
Martin Schachinger, founder of pvXchange.com, says the 8% price drop in November for solar modules could mark the end of sustained declines, as market signals are pointing to a possible recovery.

A group of scientists from a major Chinese grid operator have proposed to use an enhanced version of the particle swarm optimization algorithm to adjust inertia and damping coefficients in batteries linked to PV systems. Their approach was validated through a series of simulation and was found to enhance transient performance.
Chama cha Sekta ya Madini ya China Nonferrous Metals (CNMIA) kinasema kwamba bei za polysilicon ya kiwango cha nishati ya jua zinaendelea kuwa tulivu wiki hii licha ya nia thabiti ya uwekaji bei ya wazalishaji, kwani masuala ya mahitaji yasiyotatuliwa yanarudisha nyuma uwezekano wa mauzo.
Serikali za eneo la Italia ziliidhinisha GW 6 za miradi mikubwa ya nishati ya jua kati ya Januari na Oktoba 2024, kulingana na masasisho kutoka kwa ramani ya Terna's Econnextion. Mingi ya miradi hii imejikita katika Sicily, Lazio, Puglia, Sardinia, na Basilicata.
