GoodWe unveils new solar carport

11 hours ago | pv-magazine.com | David Carroll

From pv magazine AustraliaGoodWe BIPV, a unit of Chinese solar technology manufacturer GoodWe, said its Vela residential solar carport, which features the company’s Polaris building-integrated PV (BIPV) panels, has emerged as an alternative to rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems in Australia and New Zealand.
Tariff uncertainty grips US battery development

11 hours ago | pv-magazine.com | Jonathan Gifford

From ESS NewsTariff chaos reigns supreme in the development of the US stationary battery energy storage industry. Facing extraordinary tariffs of 145% on BESS imports into the country, developers will have to rely on inventory to realize projects. When these stockpiles are exhausted the outlook is unclear. Even the 145% tariff rate is uncertain. On April 14, the White House released a “Fact Sheet,” which appeared to clarify tariffs matters.

From pv magazine USANorth America’s $14 billion large-scale solar industry is a “sitting duck” with glass panels sitting in fields with “little to no protection,” said VDE Americas, a technical due-diligence and risk-mitigation service provider. VDE said industry hail damage insurance claims represent only 2% of all claims filed but comprise over 50% of the total costs. The risk is large, but the industry has developed solutions to address and mitigate this increasingly relevant risk.
E.ON partners with Superdielectrics to develop novel polymer-based energy storage

3 days ago | pv-magazine.com | Tristan Rayner

From ESS NewsEnergy utility giant E.ON has entered into a collaboration agreement with UK-based technology firm Superdielectrics to advance the development of a novel polymer-based battery technology, primarily targeting the residential energy storage market. The partnership aims to leverage E.ON’s market access and data on the needs of residential and business customers, complementing Superdielectrics’ energy storage approach, which focuses on domestic use rather than large-scale deployments.

From pv magazine GermanyGermany added around 787.2 MW of new PV capacity in March, according to the latest figures from the country's Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). This result compares to 1,665 MW in February and 1,401 MW in March 2024. It is the lowest monthly performance recorded by the German PV market since December 2022, when around 456.5 MW were deployed.
UL battery safety standard updated for new storage chemistries

6 days ago | pv-magazine.com | Max Hall |Max worked

From ESS NewsUS-based safety certification body UL has updated its test method for evaluating the risk of thermal runaway in battery energy storage systems (BESS). Updates to the fifth edition of UL’s ANSI/CAN/UL 9540A standard include clearer criteria for determining cell-to-cell propagation of thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that causes rapid temperature and pressure rises in battery cells, leading to the risk of fire and explosion.
Rept Battero launches 392 Ah cell, 6.26 MWh storage system

6 days ago | pv-magazine.com | Tristan Rayner

From ESS NewsHong Kong-listed Rept Battero launched a new battery cell at the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2025) in Beijing last week. Rept Battero said its new 392Ah battery cell, which is part of its brand of Wending series cells, has an energy density of up to 415 Wh/L. Billed as an “all-rounder” by the company, the new cell has a longer cycle life of 12,000 times and a high energy efficiency of 95%, while having almost the same size as the previous 300+ series.
