Eternit S.A., a Brazilian construction materials supplier, says it has developed a 50 W panel for building-integrated PV (BIPV) applications. The 1 kg module features monocrystalline passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) tech.

Infinrel says its Energy Kardio Graph solution can sample small electrical perturbations on the input and output of the inverter at MHz scale and enable insight into the actual operation of the inverter on its switching cycle basis.

The Japanese manufacturer said the new Climaveneta EW-HT-G05 products have a size ranging from 73 kW to 129.3 kW and a coefficent of performance of up to 3.77.

French developer Green Lighthouse Développement says the French authorities have approved its 450 MW agrivoltaic project on 200 hectares of agricultural land in southwestern France.

Singapore has advanced its goal to import 4 GW of low-carbon electricity by 2035 by signing two new agreements with parties in neighboring countries, including Australia’s SunCable project.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that atmospheric pattern resulted in higher than average irradiance from the UK to Poland, with solar generation records broken across several regions. However, northern areas like Norway and Scotland saw significantly less sunlight due to wet weather driven by an Icelandic low pressure system. Meanwhile, Italy and Greece, as well as the African Mediterranean coast experienced normal to slightly below-average irradiance, despite enduring record-breaking heatwaves.

Scientists in Colombia have conceived a new portable electronic device for on-site measurements of the I-V and P-V curves of photovoltaic panels. The novel system considers solar radiation, ambient temperature, electric current, and voltage signals from a PV panel via a cellphone through a mobile application.

BNZ, a Barcelona-based independent power producer (IPP), has announced a 49 MW solar project in northern Portugal in partnership with GRS, a Madrid-based solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.

Chinese PV industry leaders are urging Beijing to implement requirements to help manufacturers operate more sustainably, as solar module prices hit record lows in China’s large-scale PV tenders.

German PV project developer Fellensiek Projektmanagement GmbH & Co. KG has filed for insolvency due to claims from an unnamed investor. However, the company’s 20 project entities remain unaffected, and buyers are being sought for their sale.
