Dual-component controller for three-phase solar inverters can reduce overshoot to less than 0.33%
An international research team has conceived a dual-component controller for three-phase inverters that can reportedly achieve faster settling times, reduced overshoot and more stable current tracking compared to conventional controllers.
Thermocold launches new air-to-water heat pumps
The Italian manufacturer said its new heat pumps use R454B as a refrigerant and have coefficient of performance of up to 3.35.
Compressed air energy storage system for homes, businesses

Mandatory switch to smart meters on track in Flanders
Belgian grid operator Fluvius says it is on course to finish installing smart meters in all solar-powered homes in the Belgian region of Flanders by the end of this year.
Tecnalia, Vita International developing solar guardrails
Spain’s Tecnalia and Italy-based Vita International have designed a new photovoltaic guardrail, set for testing later this year on a 100-meter stretch of a highway service area between Turin and Trieste, Italy.
Pakistan’s net-metering solar capacity hits 4 GW
Pakistan’s net-metering solar capacity surpassed 4 GW in 2024, marking significant growth in its solar market ahead of upcoming changes to the program later this month.
Ultra-short-term PV forecasting based on convolutional neural network, long short-term memory
Scientists have created a novel probabilistic model for 5-minutes ahead PV power forecasting. The method combines a convolutional neural network with bidirectional long short-term memory, attention mechanism, and natural gradient boosting.
Morocco could hit almost 3 GW of solar by 2028, says SolarPower Europe
Morocco could reach 2.97 GW of solar capacity by 2028 under a medium-case scenario, with potential to hit 4.35 GW in a high-growth outlook, according to a new report by SolarPower Europe.
Tanzania launches off-grid solar tender
A tender is open for the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of an off-grid solar project in the Kasulu district of western Tanzania. The deadline for applications is April 11.
At high latitudes, vertical PV is more profitable in February than horizontal panels in June
A 248 kWp solar system deployed on the roof of Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadium was found to be more profitable in February than a comparative horizontal array in June. The vertical panels’ ability to generate more energy in winter months than horizontal equivalents helped save more money against Norway’s typically high electricity prices in winter.
