Work underway on ‘river’ heat pump complex in Massachusetts
The U.S’ largest district energy provider has started building a 35 MW heat pump complex in Massachusetts that will replace a natural gas boiler. The system will harness heat from the Charles River to produce carbon-free steam.
US study outlines gains and risks in agrivoltaic solar development
A new National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) report says Massachusetts’ solar-on-farmland policy framework offers lessons for developers navigating both opportunity and regulatory complexity.
Early integration of EBOS key to maximizing value for PV projects
Innovations in EBOS components can drive big savings for large-scale PV projects, according to Bob Slack, Chief Technology Officer with Voltage Energy. He notes the important role of EBOS across all project stages.
SolarEdge stock jumps 25% on Q3 earnings
SolarEdge Technologies says it posted its third straight quarter of revenue growth and improved margins, while partnering with Infineon to develop solid-state transformers for AI data centers.
Researchers develop antimony-doped n-type silicon ingots to enhance solar module mechanical strength
An international team is proposing to use antimony-doped Czochralski-grown silicon as an alternative to n-type silicon for photovoltaic applications. Their analysis showed that 140 μm as-cut planar antimony-doped wafers exhibit slightly higher mechanical strength compared to common wafers doped with phosphorous.
