Sandia National Labs researchers have created a new dataset on the rates and types of rooftop PV connector failures. Their analysis has shown that tight wire bending radius, extra dirty connectors, and loose nuts are the most common failure causes in 6,276 connectors deployed between 2014 and 2017 across seven U.S. regions.

Utility-scale solar investment fell 19% globally, led by mainland China, Spain, Greece, and Brazil, while EU spending rose 63%, says BloombergNEF (BNEF).

The researchers state that their carbon-negative process has the potential to reduce green hydrogen production costs to $1 per kilogram, while also generating biochar and patented biofertilizers as valuable byproducts.

The Chinese manufacturer said the result was achieved thanks to new perovskite crystallization additives and high-mobility carrier transport layer materials.

The India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) has welcomed the streamlining of the GST rate for all advanced batteries under heading 8507 to a uniform 18%, replacing the earlier regime where lithium-ion batteries were taxed at 18%, while other chemistries attracted a 28% GST.

Scientists have used a dual-functional, material-sharing strategy with ethyl viologen diiodide to achieve synergistic performance enhancement in PV-powered batteries. The system was reportedly able to power a wearable glucose monitor for 24 hours.

Renshine Solar says it has achieved a record 27.5% efficiency for a flexible all-perovskite cell and 23.0% on a 20.26 cm² panel.

New research from Europe shows that the global PV industry may require up to 14,000 tonnes of silver per year in 2030, with global supply being only 34,000 tonnes. The scientists said more efforts should be made to reduce silver content in TOPCon and heterojunction solar cells.

The new products are available in nine versions with power output ranging from 620 W to 660 W and power conversion efficiency spanning from 23.0% to 24.4%. Canadian Solar said the panels have a carbon footprint of 285 kg CO₂eq/kW, which is reportedly one of the lowest among all silicon-based solar modules worldwide.

Vikram Solar’s M10R n-type TOPCon modules will be deployed across AB Energia’s PV projects across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

AB Energia, an end-to-end solar EPC solutions provider in India, has entered manufacturing of high-performance fixed-tilt steel structures with the launch of its subsidiary, AVIISII Electric Systems.

Scaling electrified fleets relies not just on vehicles, but on the infrastructure that powers them: without a robust, accessible, and optimized charging ecosystem, fleet EV adoption may stall, undermining both environmental goals and operational efficiency.

ACME Group and Japan’s IHI Corp. are advancing EPC contracting, renewable energy integration, and evacuation infrastructure arrangements for their joint green ammonia plant in Gopalpur, Odisha. Slated for commissioning by 2029–30, the facility will primarily export green ammonia to Japan,

The Pioneer Na will be available globally from mid-October, 2025.

Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Co. Ltd (CSPDCL) has invited proposals for setting up pilot standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, connected to the state grid, for an aggregate storage capacity of 760 MWh (380 MW x 2 hours).

The Estonian home and commercial storage systems come in low- and high-voltage models. The high-voltage option can scale to ten modules, for 100.8 kWh, and a six-module, low-voltage version to 45 kWh.
