Goldman Sachs has invested $440 million in renewable independent power producer BrightNight, with the investment expected to support the development of utility, commercial, and industrial solar and energy storage projects. The International Energy Agency predicts that solar energy spending will exceed $3 trillion in 2024, surpassing all other electricity generation sources combined. U.S. startup PeroNova has developed a 28%-efficient perovskite-silicon tandem solar module, developed with its innovative stability-enhancing interfacial treatment. A new battery sizing approach has been developed to determine the minimum power rating of energy storage systems used for emergency under-frequency response. Liquid metal battery storage specialist Ambri has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and confirmed the closing of its assets. Solar array will be installed for a mission to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa.
