The Taiwanese cell and module manufacturer claims to have achieved a 23.5% efficiency for its TopCon solar cell.

Through the fourth tender of the LSS program for large scale PV, the Malaysian authorities have pre-selected 30 solar projects with a combined capacity of 823 MW. The lowest bid came in at MYR0.1768/kWh ($0.0429) and the highest at MYR0.2481/kWh.

Recoy, an Amsterdam-based startup, will help Dutch utility Liander to manage peak PV generation by diverting electricity to grid-connected electric boilers. The energy will be used for the heating needs of big power consumers.

The Turkish authorities revealed that 131 project proposals, with a combined capacity of 9,440 MW, will compete in the tender.

The 125 kW inverter features an efficiency of 99.1% and a European efficiency rating of 98.7%.

An international research team has developed a PV cell with all-inorganic cesium-lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite. The scientists added phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), one of the best electron acceptors in organic PV cells, into the CsPbI3 quantum dot layer.

The government of the South American nation is seeking to electrify with solar-plus-storage several remote communities through eight different tenders.

The first 650 MW production line will be deployed by the end of June. The cells produced at the manufacturing facility will be used exclusively for Hyundai’s module production.

The methylammonium-free perovskite solar cell was fabricated through a deposition technique that is claimed to reduce by around 30% the use of solvents during the perovskite deposition. The estimated overall cost of the proposed synthetic process is around €0.025 per cell.

The latest product in the Vertex series from the Chinese manufacturer has a power conversion efficiency of 21.6%.
