Recently, PV-Tech took the opportunity to catch up with Erik Bentschap Knook, Chief commercial officer at Eternalsun Spire and a key partner at the forthcoming PV ModuleTech 2019 in Penang.

Six months after settling claims in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case of its U.S. distribution subsidiary, the Chinese PV maker says it has signed more than 500 MW of U.S. module supply contracts.

A brand-new system for determining solar performance over the long term in scalable solar systems, established by Arizona State University scientists, represents an advancement in the expense as well as durability of interconnected power shipment.

Today we have heard of farmers in Australia unhappy at the approval given for three solar projects on agricultural land and also learned the benefits PV can bring for fish and shrimp farmers. In this op-ed for pv magazine USA, Stoel Rives LLP attorneys Sara Bergan and Thomas Braun discuss the balancing act to be made between solar and agriculture in the emerging Midwestern PV market.

A 497 kW project on 5 roofings at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., uses SREC sales to give $1.50 in neighborhood advantages for each dollar of power produced. Call it area solar-plus.

Shikun and Binui Renewable Energy will be the owner of the 120 MW Zeélim solar park in the south of Israel.

A new paper released by researchers at China's Tianjin College analyzes the state-of-the-art in grid degree power storage, outlining the pros and cons of different battery innovations being released on grids around the globe, and staying obstacles that could be conquered if study is pushed in the right direction.

Sun worshipers that enjoy relaxing on pool mattresses may be on to something - two studies from Michigan’s Open Source Technology lab show the potential of a new type of floating photovoltaic (FPV) that uses foam like common pool toys.

MIT scientists claim to have created a material 10 times more black than anything witnessed to date. It is said to be able to absorb more than 99.96% of incoming light and reflect 10 times less light than other superblack materials. The invention may be interesting for the development of black silicon PV technology and carbon nanotube-based solar cells.

Although they provide a very encouraging service for recording solar energy, perovskite solar cells consist of lead, which is toxic to the atmosphere as well as a major health hazard. EPFL scientists have actually currently discovered a really sophisticated and also efficient service to this, by including a clear phosphate salt that does not interfere with light-conversion efficiency while protecting against lead from permeating into the dirt in cases of photovoltaic panel failing.

A team of researchers in the US is using machine learning technology to optimize the composition of the material. It will help to predict the performance of perovskite solar cells and design strategies. According to the research conducted by 2000 peers, they reviewed perovskite publications which allowed them to collect over 300 data points.

In his second article, Philip Wolfe founder of Wiki-Solar checklists the globe's biggest private solar PV power plants. The most significant solar parks and also various other collections of plants will certainly be listed in subsequent blog sites.

Unlocking the potential of tandem solar cells for a brighter, more efficient future in renewable energy. Collaboration is key to commercialization success.

One in five solar panels set up worldwide last year were placed on a Chinese roof, putting households at the forefront of efforts to decarbonize a top emitter.

Products researchers Sungwon Lee and also Koteeswara Reddy Nandanapalli at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) developed the manufacture process with colleagues in Korea. A trick for success is splashing a specific quantity of graphene ink onto flexible substratums at a certain angle and temperature.
