[pdf] Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh. Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs.
[pdf] 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.
[pdf] In Thailand, Trinasolar has implemented a 24 MW AC floating solar plant at Ubonrat Dam in Khon Kaen, which has been operational since March 2024. This project is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 41,000 tons and generate 46 million kWh of electricity annually, supporting approximately 18,000 homes.
[pdf] A new solar energy prototype designed to improve panel efficiency in hot climates has been assembled and tested in Jordan. The initiative is part of FAO’s “ Lowering costs via Efficiency Gains of Solar energy systems (LEGS)” project, supported by the ELEVATE 2025 Innovation Fund.
