Huawei’s FusionSolar9.0 solution aims to redefine optimal LCOE for utility-scale solar projects
The company’s new FusionSolar9.0 solution boosts yield and reduces LCOE for the full lifecycle of large-scale power plants, according to Zhang Xingzhong, President of Utility, Commercial & Industrial Solar Business, Huawei Digital Power.
Oxford PV achieves 25.6% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem module based on shingled design
Oxford PV reported a 25.6% efficiency for a perovskite–silicon tandem module using Fraunhofer ISE’s Matrix Shingle architecture, marking the first successful integration of both technologies. The shingled, busbar-free design reduces resistive and shading losses while improving energy yield, durability, and module-level performance.
IPVF, TU Delft achieve 31% efficiency for 4 cm2 perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
Researchers from IPVF and TU Delft have achieved 31% efficiency on a 4 cm² two-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell using nanotextured silicon heterojunction bottom cells and ambient-air slot-die coated perovskite layers.
Solar tracker pneumatic actuator design study improves efficiency up to 66.4%
A study in solar tracker pneumatic actuator design for harsh environments has raised average efficiency of a test panel using one axis and a single actuator by 62.3 %, and 66.4% using two axes and two actuators, which an Australian distributor confirms as best practice for some rural and outback installations.
