Silicon evolution
China’s policy cracking down on oversupply and cheap, low-quality products, due to come into effect in 2027, sets higher minimum standards and is expected to push module manufacturers to advance their R&D efforts. Some manufacturers are already using their existing crystalline silicon lines to produce perovskite-silicon tandem cells, while others are exploring opportunities in back-contact production. InfoLink’s Hardy He tracks the emerging technological pathways to higher efficiencies and healthier competition.

Solar parks provide refuge and hunting grounds for birds of prey
Researchers in Spain recorded six raptor species using a 150 MW solar PV plant for perching, hunting, flying and soaring over a two-and-a-half-year study. No collisions or related mortality were observed, but the researchers say longer-term studies are needed to assess the broader effects of PV deployment on bird populations.

Study finds up to 27.1% bifacial PV gain across five Indian climate zones
Indian researchers found that bifacial PV systems can deliver gains of 8.36% to 27.10% over monofacial systems, depending on climate and ground albedo. Higher-reflectance surfaces increased energy yield while reducing lifecycle emissions, carbon payback times, and levelized electricity costs.
