Kabra Extrusion Technik will produce advanced battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions based on battery cells from China’s Eve Power.
The Hydrogen Stream: GAIL opens 10 MW green hydrogen plant
GAIL (India) Ltd, India’s largest natural gas company, has set up a green hydrogen plant that can produce 4.3 tonnes of hydrogen per day through 10 MW PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyzer units.
Solex Energy profit grows 222% YoY in FY 2023-24
Solex Energy Ltd, a Surat-based solar panel manufacturer and EPC provider, has posted revenue from operations of INR 3,659.2 million and a net profit of INR 87.3 million for FY 2023-24.
Fraunhofer ISE unveils M10 TOPCon solar cell with 24.0% efficiency
The German research institute said the new 120 µm thin solar cell could exceed 25% efficiency with the next optimization steps. The device was metalized via screen-printed contact fingers and calibrated by scientists at the Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin.
China’s Renshine plans GW-scale perovskite PV panel factory
Renshine Solar says it will open a gigawatt-scale perovskite PV module factory in Jiangsu province, with a planned investment of CNY 1 billion ($138 million). In January, it reported that its perovskite solar panels had achieved a power conversion efficiency of 18.4%.
Malaysia’s UIS installs WGR regrooving, recoating solution at 2 GW Mundra solar facility
UIS Technologies has commissioned its polyurethane (PU) recoating and regrooving solutions for wire guide rollers (WGRs) at Adani’s 2 GW solar ingot-wafer plant in Mundra, Gujarat.
The role of renewable energy in achieving India’s net zero goals
The road to net-zero emissions in India doesn’t require herculean efforts. We can get there by wholeheartedly adopting renewables, investing in innovation and technology, and promoting public-private partnerships to build a better, cleaner, and more sustainable India for generations to come.
U.S. scientists develop air-bridge thermophotovoltaic cells with 44% efficiency
U.S. scientists have developed a thermophotovoltaic cell that could be paired with inexpensive thermal storage to provide power on demand. The indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) thermophotovoltaic cell absorbs most of the in-band radiation to generate electricity, while serving as a nearly perfect mirror.
Solarwatt shuts down battery factory in Germany
Solarwatt says it will shut down its battery factory in Germany. Battery production at the Dresden facility will halt at the end of this year, and the company will move all battery and solar panel production to China.
Lead-free inverted perovskite solar cells without transparent conducting oxides may achieve 30% efficiency
Researchers in Nigeria have proposed to build inverted perovskite solar cells exclusively with all-inorganic transport materials and a lead-free perovksite absorber. Through a series of simulations, they showed these device may achieve efficiencies over 30% with low production costs.
