The word revolutionary is often bandied about in the renewables sector. It’s used to describe new tech solutions that have the capacity to radically change the direction of the clean energy industry. Technologies that haven’t quite gained mainstream adoption yet.

Photovoltaic panel with various colors can be incorporated in the façades of buildings as well as end up being a visually interesting part of the architecture. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is teaming up with façade specialist HSHansen to document the result of different-colored photovoltaic or pv elements.

The first civil fully electric airplane in the world was piloted in Vancouver a month ago.

The Latin American country has far exceeded its goal to get to 20% of energy production from renewable resources by 2025

The repeatedly prolonged PV tender held by Solar Energy Corporation seems to get finally rewarded. The announced 7 gigawatts of solar project capacity are currently oversubscribed by 1 gigawatt.

Solar cells made of perovskite go to the facility of much current solar research. The product is cheap, easy to generate and practically as efficient as silicon, the material generally utilized in solar cells. However, perovskite cells have a love-hate-relationship with the sun. The light that they require to create electrical power, additionally hinders the quality of the cells, drastically limiting their performance and security with time. Research study by scientists at the Eindhoven University of Technology and also universities in China and the United States currently sheds new light on the root causes of this deterioration and paves the way for developing brand-new perovskite compositions for the utmost steady solar cells.

Here are a few of the most remarkable examples from all over the world.

An international research study team led by scientists from Center for high pressure science and modern technology advanced study (HPSTAR) has actually reported a comprehensive high-pressure isotope research study on crossbreed perovskites.

Researchers at Shaanxi Normal University in China have actually established an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cell that utilizes 2D perovskite crystal as the design template for 3D perovskite growth. In the recent research, the team created a seed-mediated technique to sitting grow a layer of 2D perovskite seed for epitaxial development of 3D perovskite atop it, to construct a high-quality 2D/3D heterojunction.

The project will be built by an undisclosed multinational glass company in the Sabah region at Kota Kinbalu park and it’s worth $483 million.

Italian manufacturer Sunerg has developed a solar module for BIPV applications which is said to offer a wide range of options to better match the architectural vision and the design of a building. The 275 kW monocrystalline PERC panel is available in mahogany brown, reddish brown, bottle green and black-grey.

An EU funded solar-plus-storage project has been tendered in the Philippines. The United Nations is seeking bids for the system, to support the for the seaweed industry on the island of Tawi-Tawi. Combining PV with aquaculture brings many advantages for both, including water conservation, a more controlled aquatic environment, and ecosystem restoration.

The SNEC 2020 PV Power Expo opened on Aug. 8 in Shanghai. Unlike previous versions, the world's largest solar profession fair was primarily participated in by Chinese individuals this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the profession fair made use of to provide insights right into international market fads, quantities were reduced this year as a result of a buyer/seller standoff amid climbing rates triggered by the recent mishaps at polysilicon plants in Xinjiang. Likewise, there was little adjustment in technologies. PV InfoLink's Corrine Lin offers insights right into cells and modules at SNEC 2020.

With 2 new projects appearing at 100 MW each, the Texas storage market is showing that California isn't the only U.S. state that can do large batteries.

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in the United States are working to measure the results of bountiful snowfall on PV systems as well as to identify affordable methods to alleviate energy losses as well as integrity problems triggered by snow and ice.
