The federal government of Tunisia has introduced a call for tenders for the building of solar power plants with a total ability of 60MWp. According to the North African country Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mines, the solar power stations will be built each with a capacity of in between 1 and also 10 MWp.

South Korean researchers have actually created 2 perovskite solar cells based upon a polymer made with pepper mint oil as well as walnut fragrance preservative, specifically. The brand-new dopant‐free opening transportation polymer is stated to allow longer resilience of the tools as well as to stop lead-leakage.

Pash Global, a subsidiary of international asset trading firm Trafigura Group, has authorized a power acquisition agreement for renewable energy on the British Abroad Area of Saint Helena. The task is in line with the South Atlantic island's objective of purchasing renewables, minimizing its dependence on diesel and raising gas security and also price stablizing.

Scientists at the institution have achieved 21.6% efficiency with a perovskite cell measuring 1cm². The landmark has been verified as a new world record for perovskites at this size.

Researchers from the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology have demonstrated a new method of fabricating perovskite-on-silicon tandem devices, using a transparent conductive adhesive to combine the two cells. The scientists have developed devices with demonstrated efficiencies of 19.4%, and propose strategies to bring that above 24% using existing technology.

Sterling and Wilson Solar Ltd is entering the market of Australia and starting the first Australia-based photovoltaic project – the 200-megawatt solar field in Wellington, the state of New South Wales.

RWE Renewables has reached commercial operation on its West of the Pecos PV project, located in Reeves County, Texas.

The government wants a 300 MW solar plant linked to large scale storage in the Negev desert. Construction is planned for late 2021 and completion in 2023.

The 10 MW facility is located in Tozeur, in southern Tunisia. The project was also financed by the German development bank KFW under Tunisia’s solar program Plan Solaire Tunisien (PST).

Scatec said it went through a "transformational" year in 2020, with its complete renewables pipeline currently standing at a record high of 10.5 GW.
