Researchers in South Korea integrated 2 processes to engrave a nanostructure of little pyramids onto the surface of a silicon wafer. Along with trapping much more light and also enhancing the cell effectiveness, the team declares that its nanostructure improves the mechanical flexibility of the cells. This can potentially enable making use of much thinner silicon wafers than is currently feasible in manufacturing.

Understanding exactly how solar cell operation changes as it relocates from the lab into the real world is essential for optimizing their design before automation. KAUST scientists show how perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells function in a warm as well as warm setting.

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has actually invited bids for a 100MWac/200MWp solar project with a 50MW/150MWh battery power storage system in the state of Chhattisgarh.

Ib vogt has actually offered its shareholding in its 64.1 MWp 'Infinity 50' project, which makes up part of the Benban solar complicated in Egypt, to Masdar.

Developers now have till September 23 to lodge bids for the 110 MW purchase round as well as can throw their hat right into the ring for a new tender in the area of Jamnagar which closes on October 5.

Saudi Arabian scientists have actually produced a serpentine cooling block framework to improve the efficiency of PV panels in floating solar projects by around 1.5%. The cooling block can be loaded through a low-cost, 15.6 W commercial 12 V DC water pump with cool water.

The SNEC 2020 PV Power Expo opened on Aug. 8 in Shanghai. Unlike previous versions, the world's largest solar profession fair was primarily participated in by Chinese individuals this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the profession fair made use of to provide insights right into international market fads, quantities were reduced this year as a result of a buyer/seller standoff amid climbing rates triggered by the recent mishaps at polysilicon plants in Xinjiang. Likewise, there was little adjustment in technologies. PV InfoLink's Corrine Lin offers insights right into cells and modules at SNEC 2020.

Major polysilicon as well as merchant cell manufacturer, Tongwei has actually protected a monocrystalline wafer supply offer from LONGi Green Energy (LONGi Group) that increases its wafer needs by 1 billion wafers to 2.6 billion as the cell producer intends to have more than 40GW of solar cell capability in 2021.

Solarpack boosted its H1 running revenues virtually three-fold (191%) year-on-year to EUR78.84 million (US$ 93.64 million), thanks in part to the commissioning of PV projects in Spain, Chile and India.

JinkoSolar has actually provided greater than 600MW of modules for a utility-scale solar ranch in Vietnam.

The ground-mounted, grid-connected project-- to be created in turnkey setting-- will be awarded through worldwide affordable bidding process followed by reverse auction. Bidding process closes on October 27.

Germany based PV tools distributor RENA Technologies has actually gotten what it calls its 'largest ever order', from a tier 1 supplier in Asia, for 15 GW of its wafer texturing tools. Financial details of the deal have not been divulged, although the business states that the order is worth "tens of numerous euros."

All the indicators are directing progressively in the right instructions as brand-new owner Beijing Energy quotes to place a sizzling year behind the solar developer as well as the firm has revealed its intent to enter the European solar market and explore hydrogen and also power storage.

A global research study team has actually found that the presence of a few lattice flaws in a kesterite PV cell product can really improve efficiency, instead of lowering it. The group believes that kesterite PV cells can see mass production within the following years.

A round-up of the most up to date solar industry news from around the world, as Aquila grabs its very first solar projects in Portugal, among Europe's hottest solar markets, as well as Dehui claims being Vietnam's initial module producer to create next-generation panels.
