Thin-film manufacturer Ascent Solar has obtained approval to be detailed on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the free market on Wednesday 24 August 2022.

Thin-film modern technologies such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and perovskites can markedly minimize the carbon intensity of PV compared with silicon alternatives, according to scientists at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The financial stability of releasing thin-film floating planetary systems at offshore places is being explored by a new joint research in the Netherlands.

Research on solar cells to protect renewable resource sources are ongoing around the world. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in South Korea succeeded in establishing environment-friendly shade Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cells.

Researchers in the Netherlands are trialing a floating solar installation based on flexible thin-film PV components. The suggestion behind their principle is that such modules, in combination with a recently made flexible racking system, will certainly produce a system able to roll with the activity of the water, rather than attempting to oppose it.

Dealing with leading residential solar business, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Washington Clean Energy Testbeds at the University of Washington, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as the University of Toledo have actually developed the U.S. Manufacturing of Advanced Perovskites Consortium (US-MAP), which will certainly function to increase commercialization of perovskite modern technologies.

Power purchase agreements (PPAs) have actually been authorized in between First Solar and also 2 area power utility teams for power from a 100MW solar energy plant with 50MWh of power storage space in California's Kern County.

A group of researchers from the Chinese national research institute has examined the way flexible thin-film solar modules with PET-lamination behave when burnt. The findings show that, in the process of combustion, the device releases such toxic emissions as HCN, hydrofluoric acid, SO2 and some VOCs.

The American subsidiary of Hanergy Holding has set up a new efficiency record for large-scale thin-film PV module. The recorded figure is 18.64 per cent on a unit with a 1.08 sq m opening. The achievement has been registered by German Fraunhofer ISE.

Thin-film solar panel manufacturer First Solar today announced the start of production at its new PV module manufacturing facility in Lake Township, Ohio — a few miles from its flagship 600-MW factory in Perrysburg, Ohio. With the completed addition, First Solar has a total annualized production capacity of 1.9 GW in the United States. The company also manufactures panels in Malaysia and Vietnam.

MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp., a California-based manufacturer of lightweight, thin-film photovoltaic solar modules and a subsidiary of Hanergy Thin Film Power Group, has announced multiple improvements in its module design for extreme conditions.
