Indian researchers simulated a novel pairing of a CsGeI3 lead-free halide perovskite top cell with a copper-indium-gallium-selenide bottom cell. The resulting tandem device has the potential to achieve a power conversion efficiency of 26.06%

On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled India’s roadmap to energy self-reliance, highlighting key milestones in solar energy and green hydrogen.

The integrated system is claimed to efficiently provide dynamic load balancing, while supporting demand-side management and future smart grid applications. The heat pump technology comes from Mitsubishi’s Ecodan, Mr. Slim, and M heat pump series, which Evhacs modified for integration with the EV charger.

Jakson Green has emerged as the successful bidder in Solar Energy Corp. of India’s (SECI) 6th green ammonia auction, securing a capacity of 85,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) at a record-low price of INR 50.75 per kg.

Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated a lower temperature process for bifacial copper, indium, selenium (CuInSe₂) solar cells with a rear-side efficiency of 8.44% and 15.30% on the front. The device has been developed for applications in tandem solar cells.

Start-ups developing technologies in fields such as solar energy, green hydrogen, energy storage, distributed renewable energy, small hydro, wind, smart grids, and clean mobility will be supported in the development and commercialization of their innovations.

As global investors, consumers, and regulators demand deeper climate accountability, India’s position as a manufacturing and export hub will increasingly hinge on how credibly its businesses can measure and manage emissions. That credibility will come not from declarations, but from data.

The true breakthrough is when smart grids connect with solar power together. That connection opens up a lot of possibilities. Smart grids will tell us what a solar energy system can produce by predicting the weather and adjusting the transfer of electricity in real time.

It’s no secret that prices throughout the solar supply chain have been at rock bottom over the past 18 months. Alex Barrows and Molly Morgan of CRU Group explore how the market reached the imbalance that caused PV prices to crash, what this has meant for innovation, and how it might affect future technology transitions.

Solar Energy Corp of India (SECI) has discovered a new record-low green ammonia price of INR 51.8 per kg (around $591.25 per metric tonne) in its latest auction. The winning bid was placed by NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd.
