Indian solar module maker Navitas Green Solutions Pvt Ltd, likewise called Navitas Solar, has increased USD 5 million (EUR 4.5 m) to support its plan to expand its production capacity to 1.7 GW, it said on Friday.

Japan's Kao Corp and Mizuho Leasing Co Ltd (TYO:8425) on Friday announced the finalizing of a solar virtual power purchase agreement (PPA) in between the two companies.

Chinese solar company Trina Solar Co. Ltd. stated it had actually reached the 140 gigawatt (GW) mark in cumulative solar module production by the end of March. According to the report, the firm, which was founded in 1997, produced around 30 percent of this amount-- 43.1 GW-- last year alone.

China has achieved yet one more milestone in its quest for renewable resource domination, appointing its first solar energy plant in arid regions, located in the Tengger Desert. The center, which is the second largest solar energy plant in the world, aims to get to a complete solar capacity of 3 GW as well as stands for an important step towards the nation's commitment to ending up being carbon neutral by 2060.

Greater than 106 consulting companies and contractors have actually been approved in Saudi Arabia to develop distributed solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) systems for households as well as small companies after the regulatory framework for renewable resource systems for self-consumption was launched last November.

A worldwide research group that includes scientists from EPFL in Switzerland, Middle East Technical University (METU) in Turkey, Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia as well as The University of Tokyo has actually produced a quasi-2D perovskite solar cell with a unique type of salt to enhance hole extraction.

Prof. Ye Jichun's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has actually created a long-alkyl- chain anionic surfactant (LAS) additive that can significantly improve the lasting operational stability of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The research study was published in Nature Communications.

The company notifies that with included generator connection as well as control functions, the inverter works as a totally independent power centre to fulfill the specific requirements southern African domestic and also C&I markets, where power outages have actually become an everyday routine. Solar inverter maker Ginlong (Solis) Technologies, is readied to launch its new S6 Advanced Power Hybrid Inverter, specifically for South Africa. It will be revealed at the Solar Show Africa 2023 in Johannesburg from April 25 to 26.

Making solar cells more efficient is an obvious win for green power. It indicates more electrical power from the very same number of panels as well as the exact same amount of sunlight-- and also scientists are working hard to tackle the challenge.

Our modern-day rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, are anything however sustainable. One alternative is organic batteries with redox-organic electrode materials (OEMs), which can be synthesized from natural "green" materials. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese team has actually currently presented a new OEM for aqueous organic high-capacity batteries that can be quickly and cheaply recycled.

Chinese batteries and also electric vehicles maker BYD Company Ltd (HKG:1211) announced on Wednesday it intends to open 3 new logistic centres in Brazil to raise its storage capacity for complete solar kits to 1.5 GW from 1 GW annually.

Last summer season, cities of Korea including Seoul were hit by an unmatched heavy rainfall, which swamped various locations. In a similar way, torrential downpours engulfed concerning one-third of Pakistan, resulting in prevalent flooding. New York City State was not spared as it experienced heavy snow storms in December of last year, with snowfall of more than one meter.
