Scientists in Ireland investigated the effect of shunt resistance on a PV cell’s electrical performance. The group says its finding could potentially lead to the development of models for early detection of various forms of cell degradation, allowing for intervention to repair or replace components before major power losses occur.

As on June 30, 2023, around 2.45 lakh agriculture pumps have been installed or solarized under PM KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) Scheme.

The company’s manufacturing plant in Haryana will produce proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers based on the technology from its Spanish parent firm H2B2 Electrolysis. The plant will start production by October.

The Noida-based startup has rolled out the franchise network to provide mobile EV charging as a service. It targets 100 franchise partners by the end of 2023.

A study by TÜV Nord in Malaysia shows that the latest generation of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) modules surpass their older rivals on energy yield. The researchers compared n-type TOPCon modules with older p-type PERC modules, both manufactured by JinkoSolar over a three-month period earlier this year. The newer product showed an energy yield 5.69% higher than its PERC counterpart.

Vaulta, an Australian battery tech company, has developed its first dedicated residential battery. The small-scale energy storage system can purportedly operate for 4,000 cycles, with an 80% depth of discharge.
