CleanMax posts 340% growth in consolidated PAT for FY2025–26
Revenue from operations for FY2025–26 increased to INR 1,913 crore, representing a 28% growth YoY. Profit after tax (PAT) surged 341% to INR 85.6 crore.
The impact of fly ash-induced soiling on PV panel performance
Scientists in Morocco have conceived an experimental–numerical model to quantify how fly ash soiling affects photovoltaic (PV) modules, capturing both optical losses and thermal effects. Their findings show that while dust layers can reduce panel temperature, fly ash significantly degrades efficiency in a non-linear way, highlighting the need for predictive models for real-world solar performance.
