A round-up of the most up to date product information, featuring Philadelphia Solar's prepare for a 1GW module plant in the US, REC Group's brand-new N-Peak 2 panel and also Meyer Burger's IEC certification success.

University of Texas at Dallas scientists have actually shown that a method called photonic treating can be utilized to manufacture thin films utilized in flexible electronics 1 million times faster than standard methods. The experiments could help pave the way for the large-scale manufacturing of devices varying from wearable sensors to solar panels.

Danish sustainable property monitoring team Obton is to increase the dimension of its technical group this year in a bid to enhance the maintenance of its solar portfolio.

Researchers have discovered a carbon-based cathode material that could replace cobalt in lithium-ion batteries, offering higher energy density and faster charging times.

NextEra Energy has asked the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) to either force a new alliance of solar firms to expose its members or to ditch its request for fresh tariffs on China-linked solar imports.

Solar tracker maker Array Technologies has increased its executive group with the consultation of Erica Brinker to the freshly developed duty of principal marketing police officer and Tyson Hottinger as primary legal officer.

Solaria has raised funds for deploying of four solar installations contracted to supply energy for Repsol. The project is going to be a huge step toward the manufacturer’s target of installing 3 gigawatts by 2023.

A project from Oklahoma State University was picked to receive a $750,000 grant from NASA.

CIM Group's 250-MW Aquamarine solar photovoltaic or pv project, part of the initial stage of its Westlands Solar Park (WSP), will certainly be fully functional by Loss 2021.

South Korea-based Qcells and also a European research study group (led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB)) have actually jointly established a pilot manufacturing line for silicon-perovskite tandem cells in Thalheim, Germany. The project intends to speed up the innovation's mass production as well as market infiltration. The project started on 1 November.

In truth, a specially created photovoltaic cell might create up to 50 watts of power per square meter under ideal conditions in the evening, about a quarter of what a traditional solar panel can create in daytime, according to an idea paper by Munday and graduate student Tristan Deppe.

Don’t get too excited. What follows is a report about theoretical research in the lab which is a long way from commercial viability, but the implications of that research are simply staggering. Heat is the enemy of today’s solar panels. If they get too hot, their efficiency plummets. Researchers are working on ways to siphon some of that heat off and use it for other purposes, like making hot water. Others are exploring elaborate cooling systems that would add cost and complexity to solar systems.

The surge of mobile digital devices, electric automobiles, drones and other modern technologies have driven need for new light-weight products that can give the power to operate them. Researchers from the College of Houston and Texas An as well as M College have actually reported an architectural supercapacitor electrode made from reduced graphene oxide as well as aramid nanofiber that is more powerful and also extra flexible than conventional carbon-based electrodes.

Physicists from ITMO University have actually found an obtainable method that makes it possible to use clear materials for solar cells while maintaining their performance.

Main figures launched today by Wiki-Solar verify 2020 as an additional record year with over 50 GWAC -- about 65 GWP -- of new utility-scale solar brought online worldwide, taking the collective total amount over 270 GWAC.
