From pv magazine GermanyFraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and weather protection specialist VOEN Vöhringer are testing an unconventional agrivoltaic system on a cherry orchard in Upper Swabia, Germany. The system aims to reduce the cost of agrivoltaics. Typical agrivoltaic setups for fruit cultivation require steel substructures, which must either be built on open, unused land or installed between existing trees or shrubs – often with significant effort.

From pv magazine GermanyThe cost of purchasing and installing an 8 kW air-to-water heat pump in Germany is around €28,000 ($30,390), while in the UK it costs only €14,000. This is the key finding of a study conducted by Octopus Energy in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University's Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate. The survey is based “on a detailed analysis of real heat pump offers and installation costs” in both countries.

Kraftblock, a Germany-based thermal energy storage specialist, has published a 30-page study with German consultancy DWR Eco on the benefits of thermal energy storage for power grids and renewable electricity production. The study’s generally positive findings are unsurprising but could still draw attention by highlighting the broader economic advantages of the technology.
