Incendio en tejas fotovoltaicas en una vivienda de Alemania

PV Magazine España May 12, 2026 by Pilar Sánchez Molina
Processed Solar_Renewables

El incendio tardó más de siete horas en extinguirse: la presencia tejas solares dificultó significativamente las operaciones de extinción, especialmente el acceso a los focos de combustión ocultos bajo la envolvente del tejado. Un bombero recibió una descarga eléctrica durante los trabajos.

New York City’s biggest buildings face a huge change: By 2050, they must reduce their planet-warming pollution to net-zero, thanks to the metropolis’s Local Law 97 . In other words, tens of thousands of structures will need to yank out fossil-fueled systems that heat water and spaces, and replace them with…

<p>Abstract: As the penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic generation continues to rise, the inherent randomness and intermittency of their output pose significant challenges to system frequency stability.

<p>Abstract: In conventional solar power tower (SPT) systems, heliostats typically aim at a single point on the receiver, such as the cavity aperture center or external receiver equator. While these traditional strategies minimize spillage losses, they often cause excessive thermal stresses due to non-uniform solar flux distribution, reducing receiver efficiency and lifespan. To mitigate this, [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org/published-at-renewable-and-sustainable-energy-reviews-heliostat-aiming-strategies-in-concentrated-solar-power-towers-a-review/">Published at Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews &#8211; Heliostat aiming strategies in concentrated solar power towers: A review</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org">SolarPACES</a>.</p>

Total energy production in the United States increased to a new record of 107 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2025, a 3.4% increase from the previous record set in 2024, according to new data in our Monthly Energy Review. Total production was driven by record-high production in natural gas, crude oil, natural gas plant liquids (NGPLs), and renewables. This was the fourth consecutive year in which the United States set a record for total energy production.

Processed Solar_Renewables

A survey conducted among member companies of the Chilean Solar Energy Association found a high incidence of nighttime thefts at photovoltaic installations, with the highest concentration in the O’Higgins, Coquimbo, Maule, and Metropolitan regions. Cables and conductors were identified as the most frequently stolen items, while companies have strengthened security measures, including on-site personnel, surveillance cameras, and perimeter fencing.
