Gujarat-based Citizen Solar has introduced 16-busbar TOPCon bifacial modules with power ratings of 570 Wp to 590 Wp and efficiencies between 20.07% and 22.84%, respectively.
The new panel has a white backsheet and a temperature coefficient of -0.34/C. It weighs 4.1 kg per m2 and, according to the manufacturer, supports all types of installation methods, including roof adhesive and removal mechanical mounting.
India’s cumulative solar PV waste will increase to 600 kilotonnes (kt) by 2030 and 19,000 kt by 2050, according to a new report by CEEW.
Researchers led by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) recorded an 11% efficiency on 50 cm² large-scale solar panels consisting of optimized roll-to-roll fabricated hybrid perovskite solar cells.
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, offers bite-sized analysis on solar PV module supply and price trends.
China’s SolarSpace has partnered with NTPC to provide dual-glass PV modules for NTPC’s 375 MW solar project in Bhuj, Gujarat, with Zetwerk as the supply partner.
China’s OSDA has introduced TOPCon bifacial modules with power outputs ranging from 590 Wp to 630 Wp and efficiencies up to 22.54% in India.
Researchers in Bangladesh have designed a dual-junction tandem solar cell with a bottom device based on iron disilicide (FeSi2), an emerging absorber material know for its high thermal stability and good optoelectronic properties. Their simulation showed the advantage of combining the larger bandgap of the top cadmium telluride cell and the smaller bandgap of the bottom FeSi2 cell.
Silicon-perovskite tandem solar requires optimization of both approaches, and embodies the weaknesses of each. Meanwhile, the use of pure thin-film devices offers a cheaper, simpler, and more sustainable PV solution for the United States.
Solar manufacturers now have until March 26 to bid for domestic manufacturing and supply of solar modules with made-in-India PV cells.
