Adani Green Energy’s 100% operational portfolio to be water positive by FY 2025-26
Adani Green Energy (AGEL), with over 12.5 GW of operational renewable energy assets, has committed to achieving net water positivity across all its operational locations by 2025-26.
Enhancing PV glazing prospects in solar architecture
To make it easier to adopt building integrated PV (BIPV) as a glazing material, a group within the IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) has tackled the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) calculation for BIPV. It is part of IEA PVPS Task 15 international standardization efforts.
Indian scientists build 4T perovskite-silicon tandem cell based on hybrid heterojunction PV device
A research group in India has embedded a hybrid heterojunction solar cell as a bottom device in a four-terminal perovskite-silicon solar cell using a solution processing technique. The novel cell architecture, according to its creators, could be produced at significantly lower costs compared to conventional perovskite-silicon tandem designs.
The role of ESG SaaS platforms in accelerating the energy transition
Leveraging artificial intelligence, automation, and real-time data, ESG SaaS (software-as-a-service) systems enable companies to optimize energy use, enable and enhance transparency, and comply with regulatory requirements.
Bry-Air enters green hydrogen segment with air-to-water generators
Deepak Pahwa, chairman of the Pahwa Group and managing director of Bry-Air, told pv magazine, Bry-Air has already undertaken an air-to-water generation prototype for a green hydrogen project in a desert region outside India. When the prototype is up and running, 500 units of the system will be installed to produce huge quantity of hydrogen.
Robotic workers unveiled at Intersolar
RoboForce says its AI-enabled robots can install modules “faster and cheaper” than human workers.
Socomec showcases new power management solutions at ELECRAMA 2025
Socomec showcased its DELPHYS XM UPS, power quality meters DIRIS A-100 and A-200, and FP ESS fuses for energy storage systems.
Indian scientists design 31.16%-efficient 2D-3D perovskite solar cell
Scientists in India have simulated a novel perovskite solar cell that combinies a Dion-Jacobson 2D layer with a 3D halide perovskite. The design showed improved stability compared to reference cells without the DJ-2D layer.
India could cut industrial emissions by 65% by 2050 with policy interventions
WRI India projects that industrial emissions could be reduced by 65% in 2050 with policy-driven interventions compared to a reference scenario without additional policies.
New test method for curved VIPV surfaces
IEA-PVPS has conceived a new test method and analysis of the impact of curvature in vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) surfaces. Over the course of an 8-day summertime trial in south-eastern France, the researchers found that the curvature triggered irradiance and temperature non-uniformity of up to 261W/m² and 13 C, respectively.
