Bifacial PV on rooftops can provide energy yield gains of up to 22.6%
Scientists in Australia have combined Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) techniques and electrical modeling to assess the potential energy gains of bifacial rooftop PV systems compared to monofacial arrays. They found that rooftop reflectivity is a key factor in increasing a bifacial PV system performance, and that system and module design should also be carefully considered.

Hindalco to set up lithium battery foil manufacturing facility in Odisha
Hindalco will invest INR 800 crore to build a new battery foil manufacturing plant near Sambalpur in Odisha. The facility will initially produce 25,000 tonnes of the foils for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion battery cells.
New research identifies advantages of POE encapsulants in dual-glass solar modules
To understand better the long-term effects of humidity on durability of glass-glass modules, Austrian researchers carried out lengthy damp-heat tests on double glass modules made with EVA and POE encapsulants. They identified several POE advantages, such as improved interfacial strength and less water uptake, among others.
