Onix Renewable said it intends to use the proceeds from the issue to finance its renewable power projects and scale up solar module production capacity to 1.2 GW.

REC has developed a new series of residential heterojunction solar panels with efficiencies ranging from 20.6% to 22.2% and an operating temperature coefficient of -0.24% per degree Celsius.

A research team in Germany claims to have achieved the highest open-circuit voltage ever recorded to date for a perovskite solar cell based on hybrid methylamine lead chloride (MAPbCl3). The novel perovskite absorber was fabricated with a two-step deposition method and annealing under molecular nitrogen (N2) gas inside a glovebox.

The production of PV ingots and wafers remains the most highly concentrated of all the production stages in the silicon solar supply chain. Yet efforts to re-establish production in Europe and the United States are not for the faint-hearted.

The Chinese module manufacturer led an international research team seeking silicon material savings and efficiency gains in the development of heterojunction PV devices. The cell achieved a certified power conversion efficiency of 26.06% with a thickness of 57 μm, with Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research confirming the result.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

AmpIn Solar, a JV between AmpIn Energy Transition and Jupiter International Ltd, is setting up the 1.3 GW per annum solar cells and modules manufacturing facility in Odisha under the government’s production-linked incentives (PLI) scheme.

Grew Energy unveiled its 550 Wp p-type mono PERC module with a module conversion efficiency of up to 21.29% and n-type TOPCon module with up to 23% module conversion efficiency at Intersolar India 2024 last week.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has commissioned its first indigenously manufactured electrolyzer at the green hydrogen plant of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility AM Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat. The pressurized alkaline electrolyzer can produce 200 Nm3/hour of hydrogen.

Austrian manufacturer Aerocompact has developed the SN2 Q PLUS solar mounting system, which can support PV modules measuring up to 1,310 mm x 2,500 mm. It has an installation angle of between 5 degrees and 10 degrees.
