New thermodynamic formula to calculate bifacial gains
An American research team developed the new formula by applying to bifacial cells the Shockley-Queisser triangle, which is used to calculate the maximum theoretical efficiency of a monofacial solar cell using a single p-n junction technology. According to the group’s findings, the the triangle can help to clarify the deeper physical principles of the bifacial technology.

Turkey establishes brand-new guidelines for solar module imports
The brand-new guidelines mention that import obligations on solar components will certainly currently be computed per kilo as opposed to by square meter, as they were under the old guidelines. This might prefer Turkish makers, as high-efficiency components are typically currently larger than they were a couple of years earlier. Under the previous policies, PV panel imports took pleasure in decreased value-added tax prices as returns boosted and also module dimensions stayed the same.
