I’m seeing more and more of what we refer to as “orphan projects”. An “orphan project” is one where the solar company hired by the owner has gone bankrupt, has been purchased by a new solar company, or has been taken over by a receivership to sell off the assets. This is one of three project where we took over for the same owner. We finished it on time and under budget.

Record high average daily solar irradiance in the Eastern Mediterranean in 2024 - 5,572 Wh/m² per day - 8.8% higher than the multi-year average!! Moreover, preliminary data for 2025 suggests 5,590±151 Wh/m² per day! We are having less and less clouds in the sky and less fogue on the ground, this drives solar irradiance figures to jump and solar PV output to increase above models. Climate change in the making, but with unexpected consequences.

We’re excited to kick off three new retrofit projects in the renewable energy space, replacing SCADA systems at two 60 MW and one 35 MW Solar PV plants of EDF Renewables Israel that have been operational for several years already. Solar power plants are built to last for decades, but digital technologies evolve much faster. As renewable infrastructure ages, these plants must be digitally modernized to meet a high level of control and response times, maximize long-term output, stay cyber-secure, and leverage advanced analytics. SCADA isn’t just about monitoring anymore, it’s at the heart of optimization and grid reliability. At Contel Smart Energy, we’re executing these comprehensive SCADA retrofits, which include: ➯Designing and deploying a next-generation SCADA architecture ➯Replacement of the PPC and the connection to the TSO ➯Integrating with legacy field devices ➯HV Substations integration ➯Ensuring secure remote access and grid code compliance SCADA retrofits in operational PV plants are complex. Some of the unique challenges we’re addressing are minimal downtime, system interoperability and Data integrity to ensure accurate and complete migration of real-time data. These projects reflect a larger trend: as renewables scale up, so must the control and intelligence behind them. SCADA retrofits are the foundation for future-ready energy systems and we’re proud to help drive this transformation. #SCADA #EnergyTransition #SolarPV

Two misconceptions block commercial solar: it's expensive and it's complicated. Both are partially true, but not for the reasons CRE owners assume, warns Yaniv Kalish, Founder & CEO of SolarKal. To start, market opacity creates 100% bid spreads for identical scopes. Portfolio owners pay double without transparent benchmarking data, and more often than not, soft costs drive the premium, not technology. Yes, projects can take two years navigating permits and regulations, but the real friction is treating solar as an easy add-on when it requires infrastructure-level diligence and dedicated expertise.

What many CRE owners experience as “high cost” or “complexity” is often really a lack of transparency and infrastructure-level planning. When solar is treated like core infrastructure, with proper benchmarking, diligence, and long-term operational thinking, outcomes improve dramatically.

The DOC will investigate whether imports are unfairly priced or subsidized. If both are affirmative, #tariffs will be imposed to offset these unfairness. 💡 This move means that the U.S. regulation of solar energy trade is expanding beyond the #Southeast #Asian countries reviewed in the 2024-2025 investigation, including #Cambodia, #Malaysia, #Thailand and #Vietnam. 👉 More information, please see the report from Reuters: https://lnkd.in/dCEp_7hw #PocketNewEnergy #PVIndustry #SolarEnergy #Manufacturing #SolarTrade #SolarPolicy #ADCVD #America #SouthAsia 🌞 Welcome to follow us! 📞 Hotline: +86 13813584791 ☎️ WhatsApp: +86 15961439002 🌐 Website: http://www.pocket-ne.com

At Afcon Holdings’ HQ 🌞 we’re using our own renewable energy production and a micro-grid storage solutions to generate clean power and transmit it to the to the Israeli’s national grid. Led by Gil Barack, Afcon’s Deputy CEO & Head of the EPC Energy Division, our team has designed and implemented a rooftop solar and battery-storage system. “The system generates electricity throughout the day, sending part of it directly to Israel’s national grid while storing the rest to be released during peak evening hours. By producing and supplying clean power to the national grid, we help balance national electricity demand and support grid reliability during peak periods. This project is a real-world demonstration of Afcon’s smart storage and distribution capabilities on a smaller scale than our typical large EPC projects. It enables us to apply in-house the same engineering, procurement, and construction expertise we’ve delivered across numerous national infrastructure projects.” ⚡Our EPC division has led some of Israel’s most advanced renewable-energy initiatives - including one of the country’s largest battery-storage farms at the Dalia Power Station, national energy storage systems (ESS) for the Israel Electric Corporation across multiple power plants and substations, and several other renewable power facilities. 👉 This project includes - * An advanced EMS microgrid system that coordinates multiple energy sources - such as photovoltaic (PV) generation and battery storage, along with various consumers, including the national grid and on-site systems that can operate either together or independently in off-grid mode. * An intelligent control platform that continuously monitors energy production and consumption in real time. It optimizes operations by determining when and how to charge or discharge the batteries, which energy source to draw from, and how to maintain maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness across the entire network. 🙌 Shoutout to the team for leading this initiative with precision and commitment! #RenewableEnergy #EPC #EnergyStorage #CleanEnergy #SolarEnergy | David Vaisberg, Igal Keselbrener, Peter Gurevich, Shay Banit | Tal Raif | Hareli David | Afcon Holdings | קבוצת אפקון החזקות
