Genneia lands up to $320M from IDB Invest to turbocharge Argentine solar, battery storage, and grid planning—powering 349 MW of new projects and mining-ready transmission resilience.

Piling solar cells boosts their efficiency. Dealing with partners in the PERCISTAND project, scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of nearly 25%-- the highest value achieved so far with this technology.

In recent times, designers have created a selection of solar modern technologies using various types of products. These include solar cells based on cadmium telluride (CdTe), a steady crystalline semiconducting substance consisted of cadmium and tellurium.

Report by Copper Consultancy for trade body gives insight right into field sentiment

Polish renewable resource developer Projekt Solartechnik (PST) stated today it will provide power from solar (PV) farms of a total of 22 MW to domestic renewable energy trader Respect Energy for nearly six years under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

ACEN’s 400‑MW Stubbo Solar goes live by late November, powering 185,000 homes—and sets a first-of-its-kind circularity benchmark with CPVA “exceeds” rating and end-of-life recycling for 1M panels.

Nucor Corporation announced that it has actually authorized a 15-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) for 250 MWAC of brand-new solar power in Texas. The agreement, which will enable EDFR to add even more tidy energy to the area's power grid, is Nucor's first VPPA and the biggest of its kind for the steel sector.

Researchers in the United States theorize that a 'double absorber' cell comprising 2 energetic thin-film layers within one cell stack can achieve impressive efficiencies, whilst removing a lot of the obstacles intrinsic to the style of tandem cells. For now however, it's only on paper.

State-owned Estonian energy firm Eesti Energia is planning to build a 225MW pumped hydro power storage facility, as part of a larger press to come to be independent of Russian energy.

EnFoil, a European startup, is revolutionizing the solar industry with their innovative 2mm thick CIGS-based flexible solar panels. With an efficiency of 17% and 150 Wp/m², talks to integrate their panels onto truck roofs have begun. The European Research Council has supported this project and UHasselt is recruiting a researcher - a recognition of the product's potential.

Major polysilicon and wafer manufacturer GCL-Poly Energy Holdings verified the completion of its granular silicon facility as well as, in a significant turnaround of its lot of money in 2020, is expecting RMB5.4 billion (US$ 850 million) in net profit for 2021, according to a business statement.

Enel Green Power (EGP) has actually signed a grant agreement with the European Commission for a 3GW PV module plant in Catania, Italy, with an R&D commitment to pursue tandem cell manufacturing in the coming years.

Solar cells have actually come a long way, however affordable, thin film solar cells are still far behind extra pricey, crystalline solar cells in performance. Now, a team of scientists recommends that utilizing 2 thin films of different products may be the way to head to develop budget friendly, slim film cells with around 34% effectiveness.

Northrop Grumman Corporation has become part of a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Dominion Generation, Inc., a subsidiary of Dominion Energy, that allows the building of a new 62.5 megawatt solar center in Orange County, Virginia.

Reuse and recycle: We Recycle Solar has created an 'urban mining' process to upcycle old solar panels, reclaiming up to 99% of their components and creating a profitable, sustainable industry.
