How to power buildings with solar-driven reversible heat pumps, organic Rankine cycle Researchers in China proposed a solar-driven integrated system that combines reversible heat pump and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technologies, enabling flexible switching between heating, cooling, and electricity generation for buildings. Simulation results show strong performance dependence on solar irradiance and temperature, with COP rising up to 4.1 and optimal operation achieved at 600–850 W/m² irradiance.

Markets & Policy
‘The era of unlimited cheap inventory is ending’ In an interview with pv magazine, Bart Wansink, CEO of Search4Solar, said Europe’s solar module market is moving away from the extreme oversupply that enabled continuous price declines and a “wait-and-buy-cheaper” procurement strategy over the past two years. He added that leaner inventories, more disciplined production, and shifting procurement behaviour suggest a more balanced market where timing and supply security are becoming more important than further price drops.
