Forecasting growth
India’s expanding utility-scale solar fleet is creating a growing need for accurate generation forecasts. Yet the country does not have one uniform specification for every project. The requirements depend on the connection point, the responsible scheduling entity, and the rules issued by central or state regulators. For forecasting providers, this makes India a sizable market, but one that requires detailed project-by-project implementation, as Reuniwatt’s Hannah Bergler explains.

Zwitterions could be much more than defect passivators in perovskite solar cells
Chinese researchers have reviewed the potential of zwitterions to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells through defect passivation, crystallization control, and interface engineering. They found that these compounds could also enhance charge extraction, stabilize the perovskite structure, and suppress ion migration and electrode degradation.
