U.S.’s solar developer ReneSola is selling its 15-megawatt portfolio of Hungarian solar power projects under development to Danish investor Obton.

Large scale solar passed the 200-GWAC milestone in 2019, following another year of record deployment; according to preliminary figures released today by Wiki-Solar. New installations topped 40-GWAC in 2019 making it the tenth consecutive year of rising figures

Solar Service Group to market energy app to more than 8,000 battery users.

Scientists from American National Renewable Energy Lab have discovered a new technology to cut the costs of manufacturing of a very efficient (but at the same time extremely costly) GaAs solar cell.

A group of scientists from Berkeley Laboratory has found out how to increase evaporation twice with the help of solar energy, based on natural properties of water.

A group of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory and WashU have succeeded in leading electrons along the way they never take in the nature. This has allowed the scientists to better understand the initial processes taking place in the early photosynthesis history.

A scientific group from Australia’s top research university has invented a new sulphur lithium battery claimed to be the most efficient of the kind. The innovative solution is expected to increase EVs’ driving range to a thousand kilometers or even more.

Kyocera is introducing an innovative SemiSolid cell architecture created by US’s battery company 24M. The Japan-based giant will initiate the product’s entrance to the market. The new solution considerably improves batt performance, at the same time enabling significant production savings.

Lithuanian researchers claim to have dramatically improved the performance of a perovskite-based copper indium gallium selenide solar cell they developed with the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. The improved efficiency, they claim, was achieved thanks to one of the most recently developed monolayers used for experiments on the cell.

‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JA Solar has started ramping a 1.6GW monocrystalline ingot production expansion project at its main ingot production plant in Baotou, Inner Mongolia.

Danish renewables investor and developer Obton Energy has formed a joint venture with Irish solar developer Shannon Energy to develop 500MW of solar in Ireland over five years.

Inline solar cell measurement equipment specialist Aurora Solar Technologies (AST) has secured a new volume order for PERC solar cell measurement systems from what it said was the largest manufacturer of high-efficiency PERC solar cells.
