Researchers in China have built a prototype of a spectral-splitting concentrator agrivoltaic system (SCAPV) with a PV efficiency of 9.9, a hybrid light-use efficiency rating of 9.05%, and a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $0.033/kWh.

In its first commercial project, Terabase Energy successfully installed 17 MW of a 225 MW solar facility with its automated Terafab platform.

Egyptian researchers have developed a multi-string PV system with a converter control strategy, achieving 99.81% efficiency with a direct duty cycle for maximum power point tracking (MPPT).

Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL) has earned an Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance score of 86% from CSRHub, much above the global electrical and gas utilities industry average. Sustainalytics’ ESG risk rating of 31.5 outperforms the global electric utility industry average of 32.1.

Fenice Energy, formerly SunEdison, has launched single-phase and three-phase micro-inverters for residential and commercial solar installations, respectively. With a maximum input current of 20A, the micro-inverters support up to 670 Wp+ PV modules.

FNB Gas has unveiled plans for a hydrogen core network in Germany, while Tree Energy Solutions has started working on an electrolyzer and 1 GW of renewable energy assets in Canada.

Researchers in the Netherlands have proposed the use of residential PV capacity to supply electricity to urban loads such as tram substations and dwellings, potentially reducing PV curtailment and demand for additional storage.

The project will help in the evacuation of 1.5 GW of renewable energy from the Koppal area of Karnataka.

A new report by CEEW says residential rooftops in India could accommodate 637 GW of solar capacity. Tapping just one-third of this potential could support the entire electricity demand of the Indian residential sector.

Strong operating cash flows will support credit profiles of private coal-based plants.
