The new electrolyzer is designed to match the performance of established PEM electrolyzers. Its anode catalyst consists of inexpensive nickel double hydroxide compounds with iron, cobalt or manganese.

India should invest in resource-rich, friendly nations to source critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, says the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

Korean researchers have used thermal and wet gravity separation (WGS) to separate EVA from reclaimed silicon powder in end-of-life PV modules with “minimal” chemical usage. The proposed technique provides silicon powder that could be reused as a raw material for upcycling into silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon carbide.

UK startup Space Solar has reached an agreement with Reykjavik Energy with a view to supplying 30 MW from space-based solar in 2030. Co-CEO Sam Adlen tells pv magazine the next steps include ground-to-air transmission demonstration and a kilowatt-scale solar satellite in orbit in three years’ time.

The allure of the open road is strong in the United States, where highways can snake through breathtaking landscapes. Recreational vehicles (RVs) make adventuring easy but powering portable homes with diesel generators is a poor solution for today’s travelers. Briter Products President Avanti Lalwani tells pv magazine how her company is putting solar on wheels.

Wider use of electric heat pumps to heat buildings creates a larger market for renewable energy, but also presents challenges, which can be met through building insulation and weatherization, cold climate heat pumps, thermal energy storage systems, and higher-voltage distribution grids, according to a new report by Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG).

Although local defects in chloride-iodide-based perovskite are hard to avoid due to ion migration, a group of scientists have now found a way to passivate them. They used different combinations of 4-chlorobenzylammonium chloride and 4-chlorobenzylammonium bromide beneath the hole transport layer and reached up to 15% improvement in efficiency.

LG Energy Solution expects strong demand for energy storage and plans to release a high-capacity lithium iron phosphate product with 20% higher energy density, along with other offerings. The South Korean battery maker says it aims to begin US production of energy storage system (ESS) batteries in 2025 and may convert European electric vehicle (EV) production lines to ESS.

Presented at Intersolar, the new X8 series system, a configurable device that operates as a photovoltaic inverter, BESS converter and hydrogen cell rectifier, is now available.

Buddhist temples, churches, mosques and Hindu temples across Sri Lanka are receiving 5 kW rooftop solar installations free of charge. The project, backed by a $17 million investment from the Indian government, is expected to add 25 MW of solar to the grid.
