Montenegro’s power utility, EPCG, is planning to build the facility on a salt lake in the western part of the country. Some undisclosed Danish companies are interested in developing the project.

The device has a maximum power output of 6 kW and a storage capacity of 8.2 kWh. The product comes with IP65 protection and its operation is guaranteed for 10,000 cycles.

A floating PV array coupled to flow batteries is planned to power the operations of a new road under construction to connect two highways in the Netherlands. The project is aimed, in particular, at powering ventilation, lighting, and other installations of a tunnel.

The German research institute said the gallium arsenide cell has achieved the highest efficiency to date for the conversion of light into electricity.

Through the procurement exercise, the Danish authorities want to allocate 429 MW of renewable energy capacity. The tender will be open to PV, wind, hydro and wave power projects.

Underwater gravity energy storage has been proposed as an ideal solution for weekly energy storage, by an international group of scientists. The novel technology is considered an alternative to pumped-hydro storage for coasts and islands without mountains that are located close to deep waters, and may also be interesting for PV if used to store green hydrogen.

U.S. thin-film manufacturer First Solar and Bill Gates-owned Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) are among the investors in the new company, which is called CubicPV and is expected to develop multi-junction perovskite solar cells with efficiencies of around 30%.

The Polish energy regulator has allocated 1.2 GW of PV capacity in a procurement exercise for projects exceeding 1 MW in size and around 1 GW in an auction for projects with capacities of up to 1 MW.

Solar Philippines is currently seeking off-takers for a project that could also sell power on the spot market. The project is part of a 1 GW pipeline that the company announced in December.

The announcement was given by the Chinese module maker in its financial statement for the first quarter of the year. The company also stated it shipped 5.35 GW of PV products in the period from January to March and that its revenue and profits declined by 6.4% and 21.7% year-on-year, respectively.
