Scientists in India have simulated a perovskite cell based on methylammonium tin iodide which they claim may achieve a short circuit current density of 25.97 mA per square centimeter, an open-circuit voltage of 1.203 V, and a fill factor of 87.79%. The cell is composed of a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate, a titanium oxide layer, a methylammonium tin iodide perovskite film, a copper oxide hole transport layer (HTL), and a layer made of gold (Au).
Bosnian utility JP Elektroprivreda aims to buy operational facilities exceeding 1 MW in size.
Italy’s Fincantieri has joined forces with Faist Group to produce lithium-ion batteries. Through the joint venture Power4Future, the two companies want to reach a production capacity of 2 GWh over the next five years.
A Swiss start-up has created a containerized movable PV system that is designed to be easily relocated to allow the use of solar energy in locations where a fixed installation is not an option. The solution is based on a racking technology which can include two racks able to host up to 30 solar panels.
The 100% solar-powered boat will be tested in a 9,000 nautical mile expedition from Chile to Australia that is set to start in December. The vessel is equipped with an 11 kW PV system built with heterojunction modules provided by Russian manufacturer Hevel Solar.
Researchers have developed a slot-die coated solar cell with an ‘n-i-p’ layout and a fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate, a tin oxide layer, a perovskite film, and a hole-blocking layer. It has an efficiency of 18.03%, an open-circuit voltage of 1024 mV, and a short-circuit current density of 22.4 mA cm−2.
According to new figures by the Korean Energy Agency, South Korea seems on track to have another successful year in terms of newly deployed PV. According to local experts, however, this will not be enough to achieve the Korean government’s goal of 20% renewable generation by 2030.
Through the 10-year power supply deal, the renewable energy company will sell the power generated by a 41 MW solar park located in the southern region of Apulia to the Italian unit of Belgium-based chemical company Solvay. The solar plant is planned to be linked to 10 MW/20 MWh of storage.
The procurement exercise’s highest price was $0.037/kWh. The Turkish authorities selected projects ranging in size from 10 to 20 MW and relying on 70% locally manufactured panels.
The Khoumagueli Solar IPP project will sell power to local utility Electricité de Guinée (EDG).
