Ambitious EU targets for green hydrogen
The pivotal role of green hydrogen in decarbonizing the economy is unquestioned but how should projects be sizing electrolyzers and green electricity supply? Everoze Partner Alexia Chappond describes several scenarios taking shape in projects that are currently under development.
Charging to sustainability
Not all batteries are created equal when it comes to end of life, recycling, and sustainability. The Global Electronics Council (GEC) has a leading role in providing ecolabels for solar modules and inverters, but to do the same for batteries is particularly tricky, as acting CEO Carl Smith explains.
Solar cars: Lightyears away?
The integration of solar cells and vehicles looks like a sure bet for the future of cars, buses, and trucks. But for startups that have bet on making solar a feature of their electric vehicles (EVs), times are tough, reports pv magazine’s Tristan Rayner.
Longi shows the way
Longi has set ambitious targets to reduce waste in its business operations. The environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) activities it is undertaking can serve as an example for other solar companies looking to reduce their environmental impact.

Planning a Hamba-lution
As the global North ponders e-mobility dilemmas such as how to source sufficient materials to meet electric car demand, fresh evidence has emerged of how solar can decarbonize transport and farming in Africa.
Cool under pressure
High-temperature “firing” processes used in passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell production are unsuitable for perovskite and heterojunction (HJT) devices. Mark Hutchins explores how next-generation manufacturers are getting around the problem.
AutarCity: A blueprint for sun-powered business
Solar self-sufficiency is the dream of many households and businesses. This is often hindered by drawn-out processes and high equipment costs, making the aim overly complex and expensive. Pierre-Olivier Moix, chief technology officer (CTO) of Studer Innotec, explains how the Swiss power electronics supplier is now demonstrating that self-sufficiency can more easily become a reality.
