Sharp’s new 375 W solar panels feature multi-wire technology, with a power conversion efficiency of 20.4%.

Fraunhofer ISE have improved the performance of a cell structure originally developed by France’s Soitec in 2014. The German scientists managed to reduce resistance losses and the reflection on the cell front side.

Statkraft has completed a 76 MWdc solar power in Tamil Nadu, set up under group captive mode for industrial consumption. It features 140,000 PV panels and spans 773,678 square meters of land. 

Chemical producer Meghmani Finechem has partnered with Renew Green Energy Solutions to develop an 18.34 MW wind-solar captive power project in Gujarat. The electricity will help it meet its power requirements and produce green hydrogen. 

The panel measures 1,894 mm x 1,096 mm x 30 mm, weighs in at 22.5 kg, and has a temperature coefficient of -0.34% per C.

Adani Green’s new 390 MW project will supply electricity under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) at a tariff of INR 2.69 ($0.035)/kWh.

Global Energy Monitor (GEM) has launched a new open-source online tool that lists large-scale solar plants in 148 countries.

Against all odds, China’s gross domestic product grew by 8.1% in 2021, up 5.8% year on year. Electricity consumption grew by 10.3%, up 7.2%. Taking this into account, it’s no surprise that China’s PV industry also reached new heights. Frank Haugwitz, the founder of the Asia Europe Clean Energy (Solar) Advisory (AECEA), takes a closer look at what is still by far the world’s largest PV market.

The Indian sustainable energy company has signed an agreement with the Japanese ship operator to transport green ammonia from its projects to customers globally.

India’s National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved Waaree’s acquisition of Indosolar, in a deal that will expand its planned PV cell production capacity from 4 GW to 5.4 GW, while complementing its upcoming foray into module manufacturing.
