Goldi Solar supplies 9+ MW PV panels to Odisha project
The Gujarat-based solar manufacturer has entered the Odisha market by completing the supply of 9+ MW PV panels for a PV project in the state.
Cooling down solar modules with cotton wicks immersed in water
The novel technique consists of attaching cotton wicks immersed in the water (CWIWs) to the backside photovoltaic module. The water is supplied to cotton wicks from top to bottom by gravity which the scientists said helps the effective absorption of cotton and reduces water consumption.
Solar panel sizes continue to get larger and improve LCOE, says TrendForce report
A new report from the Taiwanese market research company shows growth in the production of modules over 600 W and increased format size. Cells and wafers are getting larger as well.
TERI draws up roadmap to India’s 2030 renewable energy goal

Trina Solar surpasses 8 GW of PV module shipments to India
The Chinese PV module maker has shipped more than 8 GW of solar panels to India since the start of its operations in the market in 2010.
Comparing performance of transparent solar windows to traditional windows
The results of the study by Wells Fargo Foundation and NREL initiative showed that PV-coated windows can appreciably lower the solar heat gain coefficient.
Flasher for a solar PV lab
Sun simulator is considered to be the heart of a testing or a calibration lab used to test solar PV panels, indoor under controlled and repeatable conditions. There are various parameters to be considered while selecting one.
Portable flexible PV systems for off-grid, residential applications
US startup New Use Energy Solutions has launched a new line of portable PV systems built with a module technology relying on Merlin Solar’s panels. The modules are assembled in the system via a custom vinyl tarp.
Industrial process for ‘mobile’ solar module recycling
German company Flaxres has developed an industrial process to recycle PV modules, and has begun operating a pilot facility at its new site where 10 tons of solar modules can be recycled daily. Flaxres plans to make equipment based on this facility available to international customers.
Rayzon unveils 530W-540W bifacial modules
India’s Rayzon Solar has launched L’LIOS series of bifacial PV modules based on mono PERC half-cell technology and a 10-busbar design. The panels provide power outputs ranging from 530W to 540W, with a power conversion efficiency of up to 20.98%. Rear-side provides an additional gain of up to 20%.
