The Best Battery Size For Solar Sharer

I’m a man with a mission. And that mission is to decide what size battery my sister should get, while taking into account that she’ll be topping it up with free daytime electricity. If I give her a bad answer,…

This divides the total project cost by 24 hours of storage, spreads it across a much larger energy base, which is why long-duration PHES appears more competitive on a per-kWh basis than short-duration battery storage systems, despite higher upfront costs.…

China’s activity appears to be slowing, related to market reforms which we’ve covered previously. See the full figures below. A total of 125.8GWh came online in the first half of the year, 27% higher than the same period in 2025.…

By Brad Kramer July 8, 2026 Federal policy upheaval hasn’t slowed the distributed generation (DG) solar market — it’s accelerating it. In the cover story for the Q2 2026 issue of Solar Builder, I spoke with industry leaders to unpack…

Within Europe, how do you view the opportunities in the clean energy market? Europe has been at the forefront of the global energy transition, supported by ambitious decarbonisation goals and continued investment in renewable energy infrastructure. As solar power, battery…

Deputy GM and Chief Engineer Dai Zengli of SEPCOIII welcomed CSTA to the launch. Qingdao, China — July 2, 2026 — SEPCOIII has commissioned a new flexible assembly line for high-precision wind-resistant heliostats at its Hongfeng Equipment subsidiary, adding standardized,…

The Blind Spot Below the BMS Threshold Start with the system already on site. The battery management system (BMS) does essential work. It measures voltage, current, and temperature at the cell level, and it raises an alarm when a value…

SOH is closely linked to both state of charge (SoC) and battery degradation. The battery management system (BMS) predicts battery degradation, and a lower SoH is directly correlated with it, as degradation commonly manifests as reduced capacity and/or safety issues.…

CleanPeak CEO Chris Coyne said the partnership reflects the airport’s commitment to sustainability from its first day of operation. “WSI Airport is not just building an airport, they’re building a blueprint for sustainable aviation infrastructure. We’re honoured to deliver a…
