The Government of Barbados has officially launched a major procurement process for the country's first large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), aimed at transforming the national electricity grid and unlocking delayed renewable energy investments.
Torque tube is a critical structural component, especially for single-axis solar trackers. Torque tubes are typically circular, square, pentagonal, octagonal, or D in shape and coated with galvanizing.
In 2025, researchers found potential solutions to deficits in transparent, thin-film, and perovskite solar panels. They also discovered ways to tackle – and utilise – the effects of heat on solar installations. We've chosen our nine favourite advances to highlight and explain.
Crafted from heavy-duty galvanized steel, this rack mount system ensures long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance in diverse environmental conditions. Designed with universal compatibility, it supports various 6-meter solar panel modules while offering an ultra-stable.
To demonstrate the feasibility, a prototype with diameter 3. 2m and a weight of just about 340kg consisting of four modules was developed. The production is achieved using a modular formwork made from polystyrene at the RPTU Kaiserslautern.
