In the production and testing process of modern electrical equipment, it is crucial to ensure the safety of the product. In order to effectively avoid accidents caused by electrical failures, companies need to use advanced testing equipment to verify the electrical performance of the product. As an efficient and accurate testing tool, Auto Hi Pot Machine (automatic high-voltage test machine) is gradually becoming a key equipment in the electrical industry.
2024 will be a watershed year for the global energy transition, according to Norway-headquartered consultancy DNV.
Chinese solar manufacturer Runergy has petitioned the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to cancel two patent infringement complaints filed by its competitor Trina Solar relating to solar cells imported and sold by Runergy and Indian firm Adani Green Energy.
As PV power plant owners seek to maximise the power generation of their assets over time, revamping and repowering are coming to the fore as vital processes for squeezing the maximum potential out of a site. Both involve the replacement of parts and processes at a solar plant to improve its electricity output, but the key difference is that revamping aims to return an ageing plant to its original capacity, while repowering seeks to build on the original asset’s capacity and extend its lifetime.
The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has opened a new consultation today (10 October) exploring the use of smart data to optimise consumer energy resources (CERs) such as solar PV and home batteries.
Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has revealed that over 7GW of renewable energy capacity could be added in the country by the end of 2024.
More than two years after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, billions of dollars are flowing into US clean infrastructure projects. However, without big changes, progress will be impeded by an ageing grid in need of expansion and a regulatory structure that prevents high-voltage transmission from being built at speed and scale.
The Nasdaq Stock Market has moved to delist solar module supplier Maxeon from its global select market after the company’s securities had a closing bid price under US$0.10 for ten consecutive trading days.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has agreed to establish a dispute panel to rule on how compatible certain tax credits under the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are with WTO rules, following a second request by China.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has proposed increasing tariffs on wafers and polysilicon under Section 301.
This year marked the 20th edition of North America’s largest solar and energy storage event, RE+. As the event closed its doors last week in Anaheim, California and before returning next September in Las Vegas, Nevada, PV Tech brings you some key talking points from the conversations we had with industry players.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has published a draft roadmap to reform the grid connection processes for distributed renewable energy sources, such as residential solar PV, in the US.
