Swiss sustainable infrastructure investment company B Capital Partners AG has obtained the Reuth solar park of 10 MW which is currently being constructed by project designer Green City AG in the German state of Bavaria.

German energy Wemag has put into operation 7 solar parks with a combined capability of 165 MWp in the northern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania after two years of preparation as well as installment works.

Late in 2020, scientists in Germany and also Lithuania announced a new landmark in so-called "tandem" solar cells-- that is, cells made from two different sorts of photovoltaic material. Writing in Scientific Research, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin/Kaunas University team reported that its perovskite/silicon tandem cell had a photovoltaic or pv conversion effectiveness (PCE) of 29.15%, vanquishing the previous optimum of 26.2% for a tandem cell.

Supply interruptions in the coal and also gas markets have actually added to record power costs throughout Europe, resulting in calls for even more support for renewables generation to mitigate future price increases.

German photovoltaic (PV) inverters maker SMA Solar Technology AG (ETR: S92) has actually lowered its sales and also revenues guidance for 2021 because of a shortage of digital components.

German energy group RWE AG (ETR: RWE) has won two solar-plus-storage projects in the latest advancement tender in Germany as well as will mount an overall of 31.5 MWp of solar power ability combined with batteries of 10.5 MW in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Solar power systems with an overall capability of 435 MW as well as 142 MW of onshore wind turbines were set up in Germany in July, data released by the Federal Network Agency shows.

French power group Engie SA (EPA: ENGI) has actually signed a contract with Google LLC to supply the tech titan's operations in Germany with round-the-clock carbon-free electrical energy from wind as well as solar farms, the duo introduced in a joint declaration.

German green power company Naturstrom AG is developing a 7.5-MWp solar-plus-storage facility in the state of Thuringia that is anticipated to be placed on the internet by the winter.

German engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company Pfalzsolar GmbH has signed its very first power purchase arrangement (PPA) to supply electrical energy from the Dankmarshausen solar park to its parent company, power provider Pfalzwerke AG.

German start-up Pionierkraft has elevated fresh capital in the single-digit million variety in a Late Seed investment round to finance the rollout of its flagship item-- a local power sharing service.

Organic photovoltaics has considerable benefits, such as environmentally friendly production and flexible modules.

Losses take place in all solar cells. One cause is the recombination of cost carriers at the interfaces. Intermediate layers at such interfaces can reduce these losses via so-called passivation. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a carbazole core are particularly well suited for the passivation of semiconductor surfaces constructed from perovskite products.

Solar PV plants generated 10% of the EU-27's electricity demand throughout June and July this year, new analysis by power thinktank Ember has found.
