Union Budget 2025: Expectations of India’s solar industry
With the Union Budget 2025-26 approaching, the solar industry anticipates key policy and financial measures to sustain this momentum. The budget is expected to increase funding for green technologies, including solar, wind, and green hydrogen.
Aluminum foils can reduce temperature in double-glass PV modules by 6 C
Scientists in China placed a 0.5 mm thick aluminum foil between the solar cell and the EVA, and between the EVA and the glass layer. The two experimental modules were compared to a reference module and were found to dissipate heat and increase the in-plane temperature uniformity.
