As 2019 enters its final quarter, the solar industry continues to face headwinds, even as the markets for solar deployment in Europe, the United States, and Australia remain strong. Paula Mints of SPV Market Research takes us through what to expect up until 2021.

German micro-inverter maker Solarnative GmbH seeks a buyer to secure liquidity and ensure the future of its groundbreaking technology. CEO Julian Mattheis remains optimistic about the market response.

Researchers from Germany's Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and also HTW Berlin have taken a look at exactly how precursor inks influence the quality of perovskite thin films. The best cells were scaled approximately minimodule dimension. The team revealed that when slot-die covering the halide perovskite layers on large locations, ribbing results may occur yet can be protected against by adjusting the precursor ink's rheological properties.

Research has found even short-lived, 10 to 15-year solar panels could provide enough return for bankable projects. The researchers believe panel costs, coupled with an industry mindset now fixed on the final solar energy price rather than costs per kilowatt installed, may open opportunities for PV products currently snubbed because of a short lifecycle.

The EUR136m Kozani solar park is arranged to be connected to the grid by February 2022

The world's biggest solar manufacturer slashed prices for a key component as expanding capacity in the market escalates cost competition.

Steel halide perovskites are taken into consideration to be a specifically affordable and also appealing course of products for next-generation solar components. Perovskite solar cells can be produced with finishing processes making use of liquid inks made from forerunner materials and different solvents. After finish, the solvents evaporate as well as the perovskites crystallize to create a more or less homogeneous layer.

Longi, TCL Zhonghuan reduced wafer prices greater than 20% last week Decrease in expenses to make 2023 a large year for solar demand: TCL

Energa Obrot, an unit of Poland's Energa Group, on Monday introduced an agreement to buy electricity from a bunch of 1-MW solar plants possessed by Katowice-based Famur Group.

German EPC company Goldbeck Solar GmbH and its partner Respect Energy S.A. have protected a PLN-635-million (USD 140.65 m/EUR 135.44 m) lending for a 286-MWp solar project in Poland with the first stage of the park expected to browse the web in June.

The solar-wind expansion caused a decrease in the imports of gas requirements from Russia for power generation by 9 billion cubic meters. Ember report says that wind and also solar capacities will certainly continue to increase and also electricity need is likely to continue to fall over the coming months.

Portugal-based renewable resource producer GreenVolt has gotten a 65.2 million euro ($69.7 million) syndicated loan to finance the acquisition of a 45 MWp solar park in Romania, the loan providers announced on Thursday.

QD Solar announces 24% efficiency for spin-coated perovskite cells and 23.2% efficiency for slot-die coated cells. These certified numbers have been developed for large scale manufacturing.

National Taiwan University and Taiwanese PV manufacturing equipment supplier E-Sun Precision Industrial Co. have created tools to generate various type of perovskite cells with varying chemical structures. The first trials achieved 14.3% conversion efficiency prices.

US-based wafer manufacturer 1366 Technologies has merged with Hunt Perovskite Technologies (HPT), with the combined firm preparing to offer market tandem modules.
