This marks India’s first commercial deployment of hydrogen fuel cell buses and the world’s highest-altitude green hydrogen mobility project.

China’s Trina Solar has unveiled a perovskite‑silicon tandem solar module prototype delivering 841 W and 27.1% efficiency, based on 210 mm tandem cells.

Scientists in Germany have collected dust from Qatar, Morocco and Thailand to analyze the impact on the performance of uncoated solar glass and uncoated PV mini-modules. Their analysis has shown that dust coverage could range from 4% to 60%.

New research from Hong Kong confirms that rooftop PV systems could raise daytime temperatures in urban environments. The scientists explained that although their findings highlight important urban resilience considerations, they should not detract from the broader benefits of PV systems for energy sustainability and carbon reduction.

The redox flow project has enormous storage capacity, expected to be finished in mid-2028.

Supporting a Just Transition in emerging economies requires not only large-scale capital for infrastructure such as renewables but also targeted financing for communities and small businesses. Capital should be matched to specific activities based on risk and impact, says a new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

Researchers in the Netherlands have identified all major solar power plants in the Dutch Province of Gelderland and have analyzed all of their spatial measures in an effort to assess their impact on landscape. They have specifically focused on land use competition, biodiversity, and landscape experience.

The Omnibus Proposal’s sustainability mandates can either unlock new market opportunities and enhance India’s global standing, or create trade barriers that can damage brand’s reputation and hamper profits. Indian businesses can’t afford to ignore this shift.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, reports thatglobal polysilicon negotiations remain challenging, as buyers and sellers continue to struggle to reach agreements on pricing amid a persistent supply-demand imbalance. Furthermore, it reveals that China’s polysilicon futures market could imply a further 13% drop for Nov 2025 delivery contracts.

TNO and Solarge have developed a lightweight perovskite solar module prototype measuring 32 cm x 34 cm by combining roll-to-roll processing and low-weight panel materials. The Netherlands-based partners aim to scale the technology for broader commercial applications.
