The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) has reached a milestone in its mission to create end-to-end transparency and promote responsible practices across the solar value chain with the publication of its Supply Chain Traceability Standard. It was unveiled last week at Sustainable Solar Europe Conference in Brussels.
With the Inverter Vision, Solarwatt has its own inverter in its product portfolio for the first time. The device is available as a single-phase and three-phase model. Both models have an emergency power function in combination with the company's home storage system.
The Natural History Museum in Vienna has been fitted with a brand new solar installation. It now supplies twelve per cent of the electricity needed in the listed building.
Solarwatt presents the next generation of storage systems with the Battery Vision. The home storage system has a modular design with a capacity of 5.2 to 182 kilowatt hours and has been developed for sector coupling in the home.
Module manufacturer Solarwatt has delivered the first solar modules with the efficient Topcon cell technology in the Netherlands, the UK and Germany. The new glass-glass and glass-foil modules with outputs from 420 watts have been available to order since October 2023.
Networking inverters and heat pumps, a half-cell module for construction, commercial storage with 250 kilowatts of output and an invisible cascade heat exchanger. These are our top products of the week:
The ten millionth solar module from Solarwatt was installed on the roof of a family home in Suffolk, England in June. The total output of the ten million Solarwatt modules is around 3,000 megawatt peak.
A half-cell module with general building authority approval, a large-scale storage unit from used EV batteries, a roof hook for quick installation on pitched roofs and a double glass module with up to 410 watts. These are our top products of the week:
Solarwatt has relaunched the GM 3.0 Construct glass-glass module. The half-cell module also has the general building authority approval in Germany.
The two companies want to further increase the number of rooftop installations realised together each year. The decisive business model here is sector coupling.
The Dresden-based provider has set real milestones in our industry and done pioneering work. A look back that is also a look forward.
A solar module with building authority approval, a battery for energy storage applications, solar cells starting mass production and a aew solar module for commercial installations. Here are our top products of the week:
Brussels is supporting the expansion of module factories and the production of other solar components. A total of 30 gigawatts of capacity is to be created. Solar Power Europe is proposing a financing fund for this purpose.
Interview: Neil McKee, member of the leadership team of BHC Distributors Ltd about exploding energy prices, the growing PV market in Ireland, supply chain bottlenecks and quality aspects. The company is a Premium Partner Gold of Solarwatt.
Digital management of charging infrastructure, a thermal imaging module for smartphones, a new heterojunction module with 430 watts and a glass-glass module with building authority approval. These are our top products of the week:
Solarwatt presents the semi-transparent module Vision 60M Construct for building integration. The module is specially designed for use in carports and for the roofing of parking areas.
Smart batteries certified for third-party inverters, a simple BIPV solar module frame system, wallboxes integrated into an EMS and a new generation of colour modules. Here are our top products of the week:
Solarwatt cooperates with the Dutch energy company Alfen. All charging solutions from Alfen can now be integrated into the energy management system (EMS).
A scalable system for green hydrogen production, a solar roof tile optimised for roofers, modules and their production certified sustainable and a top PV inverter brand for Italy. Here are our top products of the week:
Solarwatt has received a Cradle to Cradle certificate for its module production in Dresden. Among other things, the company has drastically reduced its carbon footprint - also in the supply chain.
With the acquisition of Reconvert, Solarwatt is integrating the expertise in the manufacture of power electronics for battery storage into its own company. Reconvert benefits with a view to further business development.
In future, Solarwatt will sell complete systems with heat pumps together with Stiebel Elektron. The Dresden-based company has thus completed the sector coupling.
Solarwatt is offering CO2 compensation for solar modules. When purchasing glass-glass modules, Solarwatt customers have the opportunity to purchase certificates that support climate protection projects around the world.
Solarwatt supports the owners of fully electric vehicles and e-motorbikes to sell the so-called greenhouse gas reduction certificates to mineral oil companies. These need the GHG certificates to meet their legal CO2 targets.
The Olympic Stadium Berlin is to generate its own solar electricity in a major investment to drive both climate security and the urban energy transition to clean, green power.
