The latest report from the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme says second-life PV modules have the potential to reduce waste and extend the value of solar assets, but their market today remains underdeveloped and requires advances in technical qualifications, scalable reuse infrastructure and supportive policy frameworks.

The world’s largest reinsurer has recently introduced stricter requirements for PV warranty insurance to further de-risk insured PV parks and set a higher benchmark for industry wide reliability and production quality.

GREW Solar has received Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) approval from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) for 3 GW of G12R solar module manufacturing capacity at its Dudu facility in Rajasthan. The approved capacity comprises bifacial n-type TOPCon modules with efficiencies of up to 23.14%.

Chinese authorities are planning to implement a series of policy measures to introduce stronger intellectual property protection to the country’s photovoltaic sector. Chinese enterprises are being encouraged to accelerate technological advancements and reserve basic patents for developing technologies.

The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with high-precision testing equipment specifically designed to continuously test and evaluate solar PV modules and their components. The modules are subjected to extreme climatic conditions, simulating the stresses they will endure over their operational life.

Gautam Solar has announced that its 640 Wp R-Series TOPCon solar modules have received approvals from both the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is seeking proposals from government organizations to create and upgrade testing infrastructure for various components, technologies, and processes used across the green hydrogen value chain. The selected projects will be funded up to 100% of the capital cost for equipment, installation, and commissioning of the equipment.

An international research team has conducted an extensive overview of bifacial solar modules from 39 countries. Their analysis took into account the best of the median values indicated in the product specifications and found that heterojunction and back-contact panels provide the best parameters.

The California Energy Commission certification ensures Gautam Solar’s modules comply with stringent quality, safety, and performance standards required for solar installations in the State of California, the largest solar market of the United States.

Vikram Solar’s Hypersol M10 Series and Hypersol G12R Series PV modules have been recognized as Top Performer in Kiwa PVEL’s Module Reliability Scorecard 2025.
