Monolithic perovskite-PERC tandem solar cell with 23.7% efficiency
Dutch scientists have developed a perovskite-PERC tandem solar cell based on a new type of tunnel recombination junction that reportedly offers an improved device efficiency distribution. The cell uses a nickel(II) oxide layer that is intended to reduce electrical shunts in the perovskite top cell.
Re:Build Manufacturing introduces solar ingot processor
Massachusetts-based Re:Build Manufacturing has unveiled the RBM600 Solar CZ Puller, a solar ingot processor designed to manufacture high-purity polysilicon ingots for solar panels.
TotalEnergies acquires full stake in Total Eren
TotalEnergies has increased its stake in Total Eren from 30% to 100%, a transaction that values the independent power producer at €3.5 billion ($3.8 billion).
KiloVault introduces solar-ready DIY off-grid battery
KiloVault has developed a solar-ready, do-it-yourself (DIY) offgrid battery, with sizes ranging from 4.3 kWh to 27.6 kWh. It comes equipped with a pre-wired, single-phase AC inverter and the ability to directly accommodate electrical loads.
New research shows renewables are more profitable than nuclear power
In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain European countries.
ClearVue releases results from first long-term study of clear solar glass
Perth-based ClearVue is making significant strides as its transparent solar windows demonstrate tangible outcomes following a two-year study and published paper.
The Hydrogen Stream: New way to make drug materials from hydrogen
UW–Madison has developed an environmentally friendly approach for producing essential drug ingredients by opting for hydrogen, while India has presented new green hydrogen standards.
All-inorganic phase heterojunction perovskite solar cell with 21.59% efficiency
An international research team has developed high-efficiency solar cells with a 21.59% efficiency rating by using an all-inorganic phase heterojunction approach. The team used an anti-solvent-free DHA method to produce high-quality, inorganic perovskite thin films, resulting in better device performance under ambient conditions.
Unveiling India’s carbon credit revolution: From local initiatives to global impact
The Indian carbon credit system, operating under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), stands ahead in several aspects.
Deployment trumps solar manufacturing in EU priorities
A lack of clear policy support, raw material dependency, and higher production costs are inhibiting the localization of European solar manufacturing, despite strong demand.
