Europe

A great 10 years back, study groups uncovered the class of semi-organic halide perovskites, which are currently making a rapid career as brand-new products for solar cells. The combined organic-inorganic semiconductors accomplished efficiencies of over 25 percent within a few years.

Canadian institutional fund supervisor Caisse de dépôt et positioning du Québec (CDPQ) has acquired a portfolio of 73 Spanish solar plants from renewables financier Q-Energy.

Risen Energy has landed a 1.5 GW bifacial module supply manage an unrevealed, yet "popular" independent power producer.

Europe has the possible to scale up the manufacture of multi-junction cells and also bifacial modules to assist attain its goal of coming to be the initial climate-neutral continent, a brand-new report suggests.

Today's silicon solar panels are an industry criterion, but these stiff, hefty blocks might be shunted apart by plastic opponents-- light-weight, flexible photovoltaic panels that could be published and also stuck onto structures or put in home windows or cars and trucks, transforming light into electrical power in locations unattainable to their larger cousins.

CIGS thin-film solar cells have an optimum academic efficiency of about 33 percent, however the real-world efficiency has gotten to just around 23 percent. This shortfall is attributable to loss systems in the CIGS solar cell in the practical layers as well as at varied user interfaces. But where specifically and why these losses occur has been a point of opinion.

HighLine Technology GmbH, a spin-off of Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy System ISE, declared that it has actually created a brand-new giving modern technology, which boosts the power yield of silicon solar cells. The firm has strategies to advertise this innovation.

Polish photovoltaics (PV) installer Columbus Energy SA today stated it has actually authorized 2 contracts to buy 22 solar projects, each with a capability of concerning 1 MW.

A 12-MWp roof solar energy system that Audi AG (ETR: NSU) set up at its factory website in Gyor, Hungary, officially went survive Wednesday, the German auto maker stated.

Greece's Hellenic Petroleum SA (ATH: ELPE) has actually closed the acquisition of a 204-MW solar project profile at home from German developer Juwi.

UK pure play solar programmer Hive Energy stated it has protected initial preparation authorization for the 169-MW Olmedilla photovoltaic (PV) project in Spain.
