Spanish solar company Grenergy Renovables has actually begun construction service the 200MW Escuderos PV project in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha region.

Poland's R.Power is seeking to ramp up its solar advancement initiatives in Italy, where the firm has actually secured a portfolio of projects totalling more than 160MWp in the last six months.

Berlin-based greentech start-up Zolar has raised an additional EUR10 million (US$ 11.9 million) in a financial investment round led by Energy Impact Partners.

Europe is good to go to come to be the world's second-largest maker of lithium-ion battery cell by 2025, claimed a European Commission (EC) vice-president, although some crucial obstacles need to be dealt with.

Spain's government and the European Union will certainly give funding to sustain the advancement of 65 brand-new solar projects in the Canary Islands by the end of next year.

Photovoltaics emphatically adds to lasting power supply. The performance of solar cells in straight converting light energy right into electric power depends upon the product made use of. Metal-halide perovskites are considered really encouraging materials for solar cells of the future generation. With these semiconductors called after their unique crystal structure, a significant boost in efficiency was attained in the past years.

Oil group Eni and also Italian state loan provider Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) have actually developed a joint venture (JV) that will spend more than EUR800 million (US$ 953 million) in Italy's renewables sector by 2025.

The performance of solar cells can be increased by making use of a phenomenon called singlet fission. Nevertheless, unexplained energy losses during the response have actually until now been a major trouble. A research team led by researchers at Linkoping University, Sweden, has discovered what occurs during singlet fission as well as where the lost power goes. The results have actually been released in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
