European consortium achieves 21.6% efficiency in flexible perovskite solar cell

Half way through its three-year research program, the Pearl consortium of European research institutes has surpassed 21% efficiency on its flexible perovskite solar cells featuring bendable substrates and has demonstrated scalable roll-to-roll processes.

Global H2 investment tops $110 billion, says Hydrogen Council

Global hydrogen investment has topped $110 billion, up $35 billion from last year, with total committed capacity exceeding 6 million tons (metric tons) per year (mtpa), says the Hydrogen Council.

PV industry could account for 40% of global silver demand by 2030

New research from Europe shows that the global PV industry may require up to 14,000 tonnes of silver per year in 2030, with global supply being only 34,000 tonnes. The scientists said more efforts should be made to reduce silver content in TOPCon and heterojunction solar cells.

China’s intelamp sets world record for solar-powered LED display

Chinese solar lighting company intelamp set a new world record for the largest display of solar-power LEDs with an array of 36,862 of its solar lights in the Mingsha Mountain dunes of western China.

Germany’s largest agrivoltaic project goes online

Vattenfall has commissioned a 76 MW agrivoltaic plant in Germany under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Powering ferries with floating PV, hydrogen

Scientists in Malaysia have conducted a techno-economic-environmental study of a green fueling system for a ferry that runs between islands in their home country. Using 40,000 solar panels, they were able to power two round trips round-trips per day. Annual CO₂ reduction was measured at 23.75 million kg.

Canadian startup launches residential heat pump with 24/7 monitoring

Jetson said its new heat pump system has a coefficient of performance of up to 4.1 and an energy efficiency rating of up to 11.7. The new product integrates air quality sensors, an energy monitor, and a “smart” thermostat.

Honeywell introduces all-in-one, modular BESS for C&I segment

Honeywell has launched its Ionic battery energy storage system (BESS) with integrated controls and energy management. The system is designed to cut energy costs, stabilize the grid, and provide backup power.

Vehicle integrated PV potential measured over a million km in Netherlands, Germany

Researchers have collected data from solar sensor-equipped vehicles, racking up over a million km mainly in the Benelux and German region, to be able to make more accurate efficiency and yield predictions. The research project is part of an ongoing three-year European assessment of VIPV.

ClearVue unveils Gen3 solar glass with 66% higher energy output

ClearVue Technology says the latest iteration of its solar vision glass delivers more than 66% additional energy output per square metre than its predecessor, while significantly reducing production complexity and costs.
