Swiss manufacturer Megasol said the new product is compatible with the most common tile formats and also available in different colors. Megasol has also developed a coating that eliminates the glare effect of solar modules.

The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court, in Germany, has ruled that Longi Solar and REC have to pay a fine because they have not fully complied with the court order to recall their solar modules affected by the patent dispute in Germany.

The factory will be built with the financial support of the Italian government. It will mostly serve southern European markets.

In June alone, new PV additions totaled 406 MW. Feed-in tariffs were reduced by another 1.4%.

The solar tile has a power output of 15 W and is recommended for flat concrete roof tiles. It can operate with a maximum system voltage of 600 V.

Solar PV modules are currently trading at price levels last seen in 2018 and 2019, according to an account manager at PVO International. EPC companies in Europe, in particular, are suffering. A lack of large-scale integrated PV production on the continent is also playing a role.

The modular battery can be cascaded up to 30.7 kWh of storage capacity. The Energy Butler is a storage kit made up of up to eight modules.

The photovoltaic boiler can be easily be installed by the users themselves. The solar modules are connected to the boiler via an MC4 contact plug, and heat the water.

The newly installed PV capacity for the first eight months of the year was 3.6 GW, which compares to 3.2 GW in the same period of 2020.

The German manufacturer invested €21 million in the manufacturing facility. It will be devoted to producing the company’s new product series.
