Spray cooling for floating PV
A research team in Germany developed a dynamic model of spray cooling for floating PV systems that couples thermal behavior, electrical performance, and active cooling, and validated it against a 750 kW installation. Simulations across four climates showed that spray cooling reduces module temperatures by up to 42% and improves energy yield by up to 3.8%, with benefits strongly dependent on local conditions.
JinkoSolar debuts rooftop PV module weighing 7 kg/m2
The Chinese manufacturer said its lightweight Light Diamond TOPCon module delivers 560 W at 24.94% efficiency.

Indosolar, a subsidiary of Waaree Energies Ltd, has reported revenue from operations of INR 679.85 crore for FY26, up 109.9% from INR 323.91 crore in FY25. Net profit rose 350.2% year on year to INR 246.6 crore.
India’s first FDRE project enters commissioning phase
Juniper Green Energy has begun commissioning a hybrid renewable energy project combining 259 MWp solar, 280 MW wind, and 200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat. The project is designed to deliver reliable, firm and dispatchable clean power aligned to grid demand.
China polysilicon hits cost floor as producers curb output amid weak demand
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.
SWREL surpasses INR 10,000 crore in EPC order inflows in FY26
Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy has reported EPC order inflows exceeding INR 10,062 crore in FY26, following the award of an 875 MW (AC) solar project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, from Coal India, and a 50 MW (AC) project in Maharashtra from an independent power producer.
Welspun New Energy signs 200 MW solar-plus-storage PPA with SECI
Welspun New Energy has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) for a 200 MW solar project paired with a 400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power
A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.
Perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells using zinc-doped tin oxide achieve comparable performance to indium tin oxide counterparts
Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) for recombination layers in fully textured perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells. ZTO delivers comparable device efficiencies of 27–28% under current-matching conditions, offering a scalable, indium-free pathway for high-performance tandem photovoltaics without efficiency loss.
Restoring power faster: The growing role of emergency restoration systems in modern grids
Emergency Restoration Systems, often referred to as ERS, are gaining importance as a critical part of grid management. These systems are designed to restore transmission lines rapidly after failures caused by natural disasters, technical faults, or external damage. While traditional restoration methods can take days or even weeks, ERS offers a faster and more flexible alternative, helping utilities bring power back online in a much shorter time.
