The Electricity Storage Policy Framework 2024, prepared by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), provides a roadmap for integrating electricity storage systems (ESS) into Ireland's energy future.
IT security firm Jakkaru has identified a vulnerability in microinverters from AP Systems that could enable a "kill switch" scenario, potentially shutting down tens of thousands of inverters simultaneously and disrupting grid operations.
In energy storage systems where every watt counts, the energy saved with active balancing translates to: Active systems often achieve 90-95% energy transfer efficiency, while passive systems can waste up to 10-30% of energy during charge cycles.
Load balancing is primarily understood in the context of balancing supply and demand across the energy grid. In commercial settings, it involves managing energy consumption patterns to avoid overloading the system. Energy storage systems significantly alleviate this challenge by acting.
Solar industry news: Mounting, inverter, PV module, tracker and energy storage trends; net metering regulation; financing, buying trends and more. The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has given its stamp of approval for the Kaawanui Solar and energy storage.
California's rooftop solar policy is under renewed scrutiny. In August 2025, the California Supreme Court ordered a lower court to re-examine the state's controversial "NEM 3. 0" rules, which slashed compensation for solar customers feeding energy back to the grid.
Developers added 12 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar electric generating capacity in the United States during the first half of 2025, and they plan to add another 21 GW in the second half of the year, according to our latest survey of electric generating capacity.
VDE Americas and RETC, part of the VDE Group, today introduce the hail resiliency curve (HRC) test that simulates real-world hailstorm conditions where solar panels may face numerous impacts from a range of hailstone sizes and wind speeds during server storms.
