A look at the first artificial solar eclipses created by two European satellites

A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipses through precise and fancy formation flying. The result is hours of on-demand totality for scientists. The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures Monday. Launched late last year, the two spacecraft have produced 10 solar eclipses so far… https://www.chron.com/business/article/how-two-satellites-are-mimicking-total-solar-20379311.php

Bila Solar produces first US-made PERC solar modules with ES Foundry cells

Bila Solar produces first US-made PERC solar modules with ES Foundry cells

The modules will be based on ES Foundry’s passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cell technology. The two firms signed a 300MW supply deal in February. ES Foundry told PV Tech Premium earlier this year that it chose PERC technology because of the storm of patent and intellectual property (IP) lawsuits surrounding tunnel oxide passivated contact

Texas finalizes $1.8B to build solar, battery, and gas-powered microgrids

Texas finalizes $1.8B to build solar, battery, and gas-powered microgrids

This story was originally published by Canary Media. The Texas Legislature ended its biennial session without passing a slew of bills that could have killed the state’s booming solar and battery sector, and by extension, the ability to keep the Texas grid running amid extreme weather and surging demand for electricity. It did pass a law that could strengthen the state’s electricity

What Sunnova’s Bankruptcy Means for the Future of Residential Solar

What Sunnova’s Bankruptcy Means for the Future of Residential Solar

When I had lunch with then-Sunnova CEO John Berger in March 2022, things seemed to be looking up for the residential solar company. In his telling, rising energy bills and the growth of work from home had made consumers more conscious of their electricity consumption. The push to address climate change and energy security concerns
