California-based Swift Solar has significantly expanded its domestic manufacturing capabilities by acquiring the United States heterojunction technology (HJT) assets and intellectual property of Swiss manufacturer Meyer Burger. This strategic move includes the absorption of Meyer Burger’s specialized personnel and allows Swift Solar to integrate advanced silicon technology with its ongoing perovskite research. By securing these […]
A new generation of data centers is emerging to address the growing strain on power grids caused by the global digital boom. Startup Verrus has developed a reciprocal energy model that allows these facilities to support local utilities rather than merely consuming resources. By utilizing utility-scale batteries and advanced optimization software, these centers can stabilize […]
Samsung SDI recently showcased its latest energy solutions at InterBattery 2026 in Seoul, focusing on the synergy between artificial intelligence and advanced battery technology. The company introduced a new pouch-type all-solid-state battery specifically designed to power humanoid robots and wearable devices. By prioritizing high energy density and a lightweight form factor, Samsung aims to address […]
A groundbreaking partnership between Israeli startup H2Pro and global developer Doral Hydrogen is set to establish the world’s first off-grid solar-to-hydrogen production facility in Extremadura, Spain. By utilizing innovative Decoupled Water Electrolysis (DWE) technology, the project aims to produce green hydrogen directly from solar power without relying on the electrical grid or expensive battery storage. […]
Virginia is poised to become the second U.S. state to legalize “balcony solar” systems, following a successful bipartisan vote in the state legislature. The new law, expected to be signed by Governor Abigail Spanberger, will allow residents and renters to purchase plug-in solar panels as simple household appliances. By removing bureaucratic hurdles and high installation […]
Albania has significantly expanded its renewable energy footprint, adding between 180 MW and 210 MW of solar capacity throughout 2025. This surge, primarily driven by utility-scale developments and merchant investments, brings the nation’s total cumulative capacity to an estimated 600 MW to 650 MW. While government-led auctions previously spearheaded growth, the market is now transitioning […]
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking technology that transforms ordinary cotton into a sustainable power source capable of harvesting electricity from atmospheric humidity. By coating the fabric with specialized polymers, the team created a system that generates energy day and night without the need for external charging or batteries. This innovation, which can power small electronics […]
Global renewable energy capacity is projected to more than double, reaching 8.4 TW by 2031, with solar PV emerging as the primary catalyst for this expansion. According to a recent report by GlobalData, solar installations are expected to hit nearly 6 TW by the end of the decade, representing a compound annual growth rate of […]
Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs is reportedly drafting a reform to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) that would eliminate guaranteed financial support for small-scale rooftop solar installations. The proposal targets private systems with a capacity of up to 25 kilowatts, arguing that falling installation costs and high self-consumption rates have made these projects independently profitable. […]
Estonia added 105 MW of solar capacity in 2025, bringing its cumulative total to approximately 1,430 MW. While this marks a significant decrease from the record-breaking 513 MW installed in 2024, the Estonian Chamber of Renewable Energy notes the market is transitioning toward a mature phase. Current growth is shifting from residential installations to large-scale […]
