Encapsulant delamination behavior in PV glass recycling
Researchers in Spain investigated effective separation of encapsulants from PV glass with a focus on melting behavior and resistance to the hot knife-method of delamination. The results indicated that thermoplastic polyolefin encapsulants were the easiest to remove from the PV glass.
Improving TOPCon solar cell performance with rear treatment techniques
Researchers in China have investigated four strategies that minimize TOPCon solar cell surface recombination centers and improve light trapping performance. They identified alkali polishing with micro-texturing as the most suitable technique to improve TOPCon cell open-circuit voltage and fill factor and the overall device performance.
Polycab launches 350kW three-phase string inverter for utility-scale solar projects
Polycab has launched its UT Series 350kW three-phase string inverter for utility-scale solar projects in Tamil Nadu. Offering 15/12 MPPTs, this series comes with a maximum 15A/20A DC input current per string, thus supporting bifacial 182mm/210mm modules.
Insolation Energy sets up step-down subsidiaries for solar power projects
Jaipur-based solar module manufacturer Insolation Energy Ltd has announced that its subsidiary, Insolation Green Energy, has incorporated four new wholly owned subsidiaries for the purpose of setting up solar power plants.
Enphase introduces commercial-scale solar microinverter with 97.5% efficiency

DAS Solar enters back-contact business with 5 GW cell factory
DAS Solar has filed an environmental-impact assessment (EIA) for a 5 GW back-contact (BC) solar cell plant in Guizhou, China, expanding its existing manufacturing operations to supply large-scale and building-integrated PV (BIPV) installations.
Why every Indian home should consider solar in 2025
When you combine lower solar hardware costs with rising grid tariffs, payback periods tighten—especially for homes that consume 200–400 units a month and can run major daytime loads (fridge, fans, air-cooling, work-from-home equipment) on solar power.
The Hydrogen Stream: Qatari team outlines solar hybrid station design
Qatari researchers tell pv magazine that they have designed the world’s first hybrid station concept combining PV, liquid air, hydrogen storage, and batteries for EV charging and hydrogen refueling.
Behind the green boom: How ecosystem builders are fueling India’s climate tech rise
India’s climate tech ecosystem now counts over 800 startups, ranging from solar and electric mobility pioneers to agri-tech and water management disruptors. Many of these startups begin as humble experiments.
Statkraft signs agreement to sell solar, wind projects in India to Serentica
Statkraft has signed an agreement to sell approximately 1.5 GWp of its renewable energy portfolio in Rajasthan, comprising the recently commissioned 445 MWp Khidrat solar plant and around 1,000 MWp of solar and wind projects at various stages of development.
