Solar modules are being detained by US customs agents, reports suggest
An order issued in late June instructed US customs agents to detain solar shipments containing silica-based products sourced from a Chinese firm and its subsidiaries. Three solar players may already have been impacted.
US residential PV pricing fell 6.3% over past 12 months
Residential solar installation price declines have accelerated over the past year in the U.S. solar market. However, energy storage pricing has gone up, with Enphase taking an increasingly larger share of the market.
Guggenheim Solar Index: Solar’s shipment struggle
The outlook for U.S. residential solar remains strong, according to Jesse Pichel of ROTH Capital Partners. The large-scale segment, however, is hampered by rising costs and the likelihood of sanctions on Xinjiang-made materials.
How to Optimize Solar Plant Design and Engineering
Cost is paramount, so ensuring that your PV project’s design is entirely optimized is of utmost importance. However, each project’s site, needs, and materials vary. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn how to improve the end-to-end engineering process by examining real-life case studies and looking at a design software aimed to deliver optimal projects.
Blue is not the new green
A new study from Stanford University and Cornell University shows that blue hydrogen can produce more greenhouse emissions than heat produced by coal and gas. The modeling classifies blue hydrogen emissions as carbon dioxide and unburned fugitive methane, as well as lifecycle emissions linked to the mining, transport, storage, and use of methane.
Portable charging trailer for commercial EV fleets
U.S.-based Xos offers a mobile charging station for commercial electric fleets, in order to provide power without making fixed infrastructure upgrades.
US start-up secures $144 million for liquid metal battery commercialization
Ambri plans to commercialize its calcium-antimony liquid metal battery chemistry and open manufacturing facilities to deliver projects in 2023 and beyond.
Heliene to open third module factory in the United States
The plant will produce super-high-efficiency heterojunction solar cell modules for residential and commercial applications.
Hyundai and UL ally to give EV batteries a second life
The two agreed to advance safe deployment and use of second-life battery energy storage systems.
Agrivoltaics for rabbit farming
U.S. scientists have developed a new way to combine PV generation and rabbit farming. They claim their new approach to agrivoltaics produces lower emissions and uses less energy than non-integrated methods.
