Waaree Energies launches flexible light-weight solar modules
Waaree Energies has launched flexible solar modules that are up to 70% lighter than conventional glass panels and less than 3.5 mm thin. These can be bonded directly to surfaces without mounting penetrations, making them ideal for sites where drilling or heavy support structures are not feasible.
Indian scientists build near-infrared transparent inverted perovskite solar cell with 16.5% efficiency
The team produced a 16.53% inverted 1.08 cm2 perovskite solar cell using atomic layer deposition to apply a buffering layer of tin oxide to prevent electrode sputtering damage.
Shrinking export opportunities raise solar module oversupply concerns in India: SBICAPS
India’s solar module manufacturing capacity has reached around 100 GW, enough to meet domestic demand. However, with total module capacity rising to 190 GW by March 2027 and export opportunities narrowing, the market faces oversupply crisis, states a new report by SBICAPS.
Advantage of back-contact solar modules in shading scenarios is limited to specific conditions, study finds
Researchers from Trina Solar and China’s Nanchang University claim to have verified that back-contact solar modules outperform TOPCon modules only when fewer than three cells in a substring are shaded. Their findings were published in a peer-reviewed scientific paper.
Beyond Rhetoric: India’s clean energy investments speak for themselves
India has drawn billions of dollars into renewable infrastructure from global institutional investors, private equity firms, and corporate stakeholders. Initiatives such as the National Solar Mission, coupled with predictable tariff structures and streamlined regulatory mechanisms, have created a conducive environment for capital deployment.
Jinko edges past Longi in first-half solar shipments as TOPCon dominates
InfoLink Consulting says global module shipments rose 10% to 247.9 GW in the first half of 2025, with JinkoSolar narrowly pushing past Longi and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) tech accounting for more than 94% of the total.
Insolation Green Energy’s new 3 GW solar module factory begins production
Insolation Green Energy has commenced commercial operations at its new 3 GW PV module manufacturing plant in Rajasthan.
Tongwei achieves 31.4% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
Chinese researchers, led by a research team from PV Technology Center of Tongwei Co., Ltd, used a sequential annealing process in the fabrication of tandem solar cells, featuring a wide bandgap perovskite top cell on a fully-textured commercial crystalline silicon heterojunction bottom cell. The resulting device had a certified power conversion efficiency of 31.4%, outperforming a 29.43%-efficient control cell.
