Researches in India have used the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to develop an MPPT technique that reportedly increases the PV source voltage of an array under partial shading conditions. Researchers at the Vellore Institute of Technology in India have conceived a new hybrid maximum power point tracker (MPPT) method to...
Since the beginning of 2023, TÜV Süd has offered solar rooftop checks so homeowners and businesses can determine whether their properties are structurally suitable for PV systems. The company has released the results of a survey conducted in 2023. Only one-quarter of rooftops are suitable for PV systems without restrictions. On 8% of rooftops, it...
Korean-owned solar PV manufacturer Qcells has signed an agreement with tech firm Microsoft to supply 12GW of modules and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services through 2032. Qcells said modules under this agreement – one of the the largest in the company’s history – will be supplied by Qcells’ new production plant in Cartersville, Georgia, which...
Technology could be more cost-effective long-term than land-based PV in certain areas, say researchers. China could develop up to 863GW of floating solar and use this to help bring more green energy to areas such as Beijing where land is at a premium, according to a new study. China should work harder on promoting floating...

The announcement marks the first step in the rollout of new technical trials,...
Photovoltaics (PV) a fast growing green energy technology. Photovoltaics (PV), the direct conversion of sunlight into electricity, exploit our most abundant renewable energy resource and are a key clean energy technology supporting Europe’s fight against climate change. Rapid technological developments over the last 20 years coupled with a dramatic decrease in costs have opened the...
Tesla has released an API for solar, Powerwall battery energy storage systems, and electric vehicle chargers. An API is a software intermediary that allows applications to communicate with each other. The new API will enable third parties to interact with software controlling home energy components. The company released an API in October for electric vehicle...
Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) says developers likely installed 14.1 GW of new solar capacity in 2023, with more than 260,000 balcony solar modules now in operation. “We have taken a big step forward, especially when it comes to PV, for which capacity has almost doubled compared to the previous year,” said Klaus Müller, president...
