The renewable energy industry is expected to see a significant slowing over the next five years, according to the International Energy Agency, unless political and policy uncertainty is dealt with.These were the findings from the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) third annual Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report, released Thursday. According to the report, global renewable energy generation is expected to rise
Chinese solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing company Hanwha SolarOne announced its second quarter earnings on Thursday, reportedly narrowing its net loss to $8.8 million, a significant improvement on a year earlier, with shipments up 4.9%.However, those were the only positive points from another lackluster second quarter financial earnings report from a solar PV manufacturing company.As with Yingli Solar’s earnings, announced on
Even though buyers in the US are still waiting on the release of the first version of Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV, it appears that the European market is already set to receive a new variant of the model.The new variant will, reportedly, be a “van” of sorts — though apparently not in the “traditional sense of a purpose-built goods-hauler.”The van version
Listening to the percentages, it sounds like America’s usage of green energy sources made strong gains during the first half of 2014. They supplied 10.4% more electricity than last year. Utility scale solar is up almost 116%. Renewable electricity is up 14%, but are we winning? Graph depicting selected electricity sources, renewable electricity is up 14% overall, drawn using EIA statistics, June
3,350 MW worth of new solar PV projects were recently announced by the China-based company Hareon Solar Technology.The projects, which have all now been signed off on, are set to be developed throughout China and Turkey. In accompaniment to these deals, Hareon has reportedly secured financing from two large Chinese banks — altogether totaling RMB20 billion ($3.25 billion) in funds.Without
Favorable regulatory measures have rekindled international interest in India’s renewable energy sector, with several companies like GE Energy Financial Services and Goldman Sachs making significant investments over the last few years.Joining the bandwagon is Shanghai-based Hareon Solar, which has announced plans to install 150 MW solar power capacity over the next two years.

Generally, there are 4 kinds of calibration of Neawre battery testing machines, Charge voltage, Charge Current, Discharge Voltage and Discharge Current, the calibration processes are all different. We begin with Charge Voltage calibration, if you get this one done, then it would be easier for you to handle the other 3 types of calibration.For doing charge volate, you need a multimeter,
Question: We have some Neware battery cyclers that we would like to integrate in our automated data processing system. Is there a way to automatically convert or save the cycling data to CSV (Excel) or text format? We need to have a way to get the data in a common format without human intervention. We know that data can be
Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) today announced the launch of two new photovoltaic couplers housed in small-size SO6 packages: the TLP3905 and TLP3906. The new photocouplers are designed for use in measuring instruments or as MOSFET gate drivers for the replacement of mechanical relays. While maintaining the fundamental performance of Toshiba’s existing photovoltaic couplers (TLP190B and TLP191B), the TLP3905
