Portugal installs 372 MW of solar in December-May
49+ min ago (367+ words) These additions take Portugal’s cumulative solar capacity to an estimated 7.3 GW when accounting for statistics published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), which placed the country’s total solar capacity at 6.95 GW by the end of 2025. Susana Serôdio, APREN’s Policy…...
When heat becomes a stress test: What extreme temperatures mean for photovoltaic systems and battery storage
2+ day, 22+ hour ago (686+ words) In crystalline solar cells, power output typically decreases with increasing temperature. If the cell temperature is not 25 degrees Celsius but 65 degrees Celsius, this corresponds to a power loss of approximately 16 percent compared to standard conditions, assuming a temperature coefficient of…...
KIT develops hybrid solar system with radiative cooling
3+ day, 3+ min ago (279+ words) Radiative cooling occurs when the surface of an object absorbs less radiation from the atmosphere and emits more. As a result, the surface loses heat and a cooling effect can be achieved without the need for power. The research team…...
Chinese PV Industry Brief: Longi plans 100 MW perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell pilot line
3+ day, 15+ min ago (81+ words) PV industry research firm InfoLink released its global cell shipment ranking for the first half of 2026 on Aug. 10. The top five cell manufacturers shipped a combined 91.9 GW, up 5% year on year. Tongwei ranked first, followed by Yingfa Ruineng, SolarSpace, Jietai…...
DEWA study assesses PV cleaning robot performance and safety
3+ day, 34+ min ago (138+ words) A research team from the United Arab Emirates’ Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has evaluated the cleaning performance of several PV cleaning robots in a desert environment. The team also outlined operation and maintenance recommendations for stakeholders based on…...
PVFarm rolls out RE STACK software for utility-scale BESS planning
3+ day, 1+ hour ago (891+ words) US-based PVFarm, which traditionally has offered large-scale solar PV project design and planning tools, has moved into the energy storage market with a new tool called RE STACK. The new platform by the software company, founded in 2001, has now launched…...
Ireland records 1,258 MW grid-scale solar generation peak ahead of eclipse
3+ day, 2+ hour ago (413+ words) The sun doesn’t normally have a very busy week in Ireland but a record-breaking generation day for solar on the national grid followed two days later by a solar eclipse made this week different. Data from Irish transmission systems operator…...
Relectrify installs inverterless BESS in South Australia
3+ day, 4+ hour ago (253+ words) Melbourne-headquartered battery tech company Relectrify has installed its first 250 kVA / 1,089 kWh usable AC1 battery energy storage system (BESS) in Renmark, South Australia in collaboration with YES Energy. Powered by its CellSwitch technology, the installation is a step toward commercialization of the…...
India on track for record 50 GW of solar installations in 2026
3+ day, 4+ hour ago (303+ words) India is on track to add a record amount of solar capacity in 2026, even as the policy driving the surge creates a supply crunch that will push system prices significantly higher, according to new analysis from Wood Mackenzie. “India’s ALMM-II…...
Solar modules with built-in buck converters could raise rooftop PV yield by up to 20% under partial shading
4+ day, 34+ min ago (410+ words) A research team from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands has investigated the potential of smart PV modules in urban environments. As simulated in the study, smart PV modules feature built-in buck converters that allow substrings within…...
