Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have developed a contactless method to measure the performance of back-contact solar cells, enabling in-line assessment of key parameters such as efficiency, fill factor, and current-voltage characteristics.
New research from the University of New South Wales have found that the Special Injected Metallization (JSIM) technique developed by Chinese manufacturer Jolywood can considerably increase TOPCon solar cell efficiency. The scientists described precisely how laser-assisted firing enhances cell performance, reportedly filling critical gaps in industrial TOPCon cell optimization.
Adani New Industries Ltd’s solar module sales in FY 2025 increased by 59% year-on-year to 4,263 MW, with 2,540 MW sold domestically and 1,723 MW exported.
Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT has developed a solar module cleaning system that uses structure-borne sound and targeted mechanical vibrations to dislodge dust. Researchers will present the technology at Intersolar Europe in Munich from May 7 to 9.
While the tariff war between the U.S. and China presents challenges to global trade stability, it also opens up opportunities for Indian solar firms. Through strategic alignment, domestic policy support, and favorable international positioning, India stands to strengthen its role in the global clean energy supply chain.
India’s Credence Solar has unveiled Hyper Nova N series n-type TOPCon glass-to-glass modules in power outputs from 580 W to 600 W with front-side power conversion efficiency between 22.45% and 23.25%, respectively.
Scientists have developed a system that harvests rainwater running off PV panels for household use or hydrogen production. Their analysis showed that, in the southern Sahel, the system can meet both the energy and water requirements for electrolysis, with surplus rainwater covering up to 50% of a household’s daily water demand.
Jindal Poly Films Ltd (JPL) has announced the acquisition of Enerlite Solar Films India, a manufacturer of encapsulation films used in PV modules.
Researchers at the German research institute have demonstrated that the so-called EpiWafers could be used directly for solar cell fabrication without needing a pre-gettering step. Their experiments provide a proof of principle* for epitaxially grown silicon wafers from German wafer manufacturer NexWafe GmbH.
US solar cell production is set to double in under two years, driven by growth in domestic content. Anza shares second-quarter 2025 insights into the solar supply chain amid uncertainty.
