Central Electronics Ltd seeks 3 million multi-crystalline solar cells
Manufacturers have until August 16 to submit bids for the supply of 3 million multi-crystalline silicon solar cells featuring five bus bars. The cells are required in the peak power rating of 4.68 W and 4.63 W.
Using p-type wafers in heterojunction solar cells, not a lost battle
An international research group has reconstructed the trajectory of p-type wafers in the heterojunction solar cell segment and has identified the lack of knowledge about boron-oxygen related light-induced degradation (BO-LID) as the main cause for the limited adoption of these wafers and the success of their n-type counterparts. According to the scientists, however, there is still big room for improvement for p-type technologies in heterojunction cells.

India’s solar report card for FY 2021-22
India installed 12.3 GW of solar in the twelve months ending March 31, 2022. The nation is expected to add a record 20 GW in the current fiscal.
The PV industry needs 12 times more polysilicon production capacity by 2050
New research from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) predicts cumulative polysilicon demand of 46-87 Mt will be required to achieve 63.4 TW of PV installed by 2050.
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
A new report by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) examines the challenges before India in achieving its ambitious target of having 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity and meeting 50% of its energy requirements from renewables by 2030. It also discusses feasible pathways for achieving these.
