The critical role of battery recycling in sustaining electronics and EV growth
While electronics and EV growth is a boon, it also underscores the need for sustainable growth and practices. Battery recycling is a key component of this sustainability, with environmental, economic and social benefits.
Navigating solar panel supply challenges through digitalization
High interest rates, excess warehouse inventory, and falling component prices have created a perfect storm for solar distributors since October 2023. BayWa re Solar Trade CEO Frank Jessel explains how the industry can embrace true digitalization to better navigate this volatility.
JinkoSolar announces new TOPCon solar modules with efficiency of 24.8%
The Chinese manufacturer said the new Tiger Neo 3.0 modules are available in two versions with outputs of 495 W and 670 W.
GFCL EV raises INR 1,000 crore to scale its battery materials capacity
GFCL EV will utilize the funds to scale its battery material capacities as it looks to capitalize on large-scale global opportunities in the electric vehicle and energy storage system space.
Solplanet launches 350 kW solar inverter for large-scale PV installations in India
Solplanet has introduced its ASW350K-HT three-phase solar inverter with a power of 350 kW and maximum efficiency of 99.01 % for utility-scale PV projects.
Trina Solar sues Canadian Solar for alleged TOPCon patent infringement
Trina Solar has filed a lawsuit against Canadian Solar in a US court, claiming patent infringement on an unspecified tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell technology.
Solving the UV problem of n-type solar
Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related damage and degradation. That could mean trouble down the line, if modules in the field begin to show UV-related performance loss. Manufacturers are implementing solutions at cell and module level.
Credence unveils 725 Wp bifacial TOPCon module
Indian manufacturer Credence has unveiled an 18-busbar TOPCon bifacial solar panel featuring an output of 725 Wp and conversion efficiency of 23.35%.
JinkoSolar, Trina say TOPCon modules outperform p-type back-contact panels
JinkoSolar and Trina Solar have separately reported that on-field testing shows tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules outperform p-type back-contact PV modules in monthly power generation.
Optimal tilt angle for bifacial PV deployed on white-painted ground surfaces
Scientists in India have analyzed the performance of a bifacial PV module installed on a white-painted ground surface and have found a 30-degree tilt angle outperforms all other inclinations angles in terms of power output.
