Solar asset underperformance estimated to cause $4.6 billion in preventable losses

Analyzing a global dataset of 125 GW of PV systems, drone operator Raptor Maps marked a rising trend of system underperformance.

Researchers claim record efficiency for roll-to-roll fabricated perovskite PV cell

Researchers led by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) recorded an 11% efficiency on 50 cm² large-scale solar panels consisting of optimized roll-to-roll fabricated hybrid perovskite solar cells.

Wafer prices stable-to-soft on market oversupply

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, offers bite-sized analysis on solar PV module supply and price trends.

After-sale support key to boosting off-grid solar

A new survey from US-based impact measurement company 60 Decibels shows off-grid energy customers are currently facing a series of challenges such as product affordability, gender inequality, customer support, further investment in minigrids, and over-indebtedness. The report, however, reveals that most users say the quality of their lives “very much improved” thanks to off-grid PV.

How green credits and green loyalty programs are shaping a sustainable future

Green credits and green loyalty programs represent a burgeoning movement towards sustainability that transcends traditional environmental activism. They embody a partnership between businesses and consumers, where every green choice is celebrated and rewarded.

Thyssenkrupp, Fraunhofer IKTS to set up 1 GW of electrolyzer production by 2030

Thyssenkrupp nucera and Fraunhofer IKTS want to develop and mass produce electrolyzers based on solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) technology. They are now setting up a pilot plant in Germany that is scheduled to start operations in about a year.

Perovskite thin film: Out with the old, in with the new

Silicon-perovskite tandem solar requires optimization of both approaches, and embodies the weaknesses of each. Meanwhile, the use of pure thin-film devices offers a cheaper, simpler, and more sustainable PV solution for the United States.

Longi introduces HPBC photovoltaic modules with 22.8% efficiency

The Chinese panel manufacturer said its new products have a temperature coefficient of -0.28%/C and a power output ranging from 565 W to 590 W. They rely on the company’s proprietary hybrid passivated back contact (HPBC) cell technology.

Battery prices collapsing, grid-tied energy storage expanding

From July 2023 through summer 2024, battery cell pricing is expected to plummet by more than 60% due to a surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption and grid expansion in China and the United States.

Construction starts on polysilicon production facility in Oman

Construction has begun on a $1.35 billion polysilicon production facility in Oman, billed as the first project of its kind in the Middle East. It is scheduled to start operations next year, producing 100,000 metric tons of metallurgical silicon per year.
