Oxford PV achieves 25.6% efficiency for perovskite-silicon tandem module based on shingled design
Oxford PV reported a 25.6% efficiency for a perovskite–silicon tandem module using Fraunhofer ISE’s Matrix Shingle architecture, marking the first successful integration of both technologies. The shingled, busbar-free design reduces resistive and shading losses while improving energy yield, durability, and module-level performance.

Oil in turmoil, solar stays stable
Soaring energy costs have grabbed headlines around the world the past two months, but prices across the solar supply chain are marching to their own beat, writes Hanwei Wu of OPIS. Oversupply in Asia continues to distort markets, with either sharp price falls or tepid price gains.

The real cybersecurity debate around chinese inverters is only just beginning
The European Commission’s move to restrict funding for projects using high-risk inverter vendors marks a turning point for solar cybersecurity. In this article, Uri Sadot, founder of SolarDefend and a longtime renewable energy cybersecurity specialist, explains why banning Chinese inverters may support Europe’s strategic independence, but will not solve the sector’s cybersecurity challenge. The road to greater security must include clear technical standards, stronger asset visibility and practical implementation of NIS2.

New rules to Europe’s battery game
Europe installed 25.3 GWh of energy storage capacity in 2025, with annual additions expected to reach 35.1 GWh in 2026. Confidence among developers and investors has remained strong, supported by a robust project pipeline. At the same time, the market has been quietly absorbing a wave of increasingly unpredictable cost pressures. InfoLink Consulting CEO Corrine Lin sees that prices across the supply chain are no longer moving in a single direction, cost pass-through has become less linear, and the market has entered a new phase marked by structural tensions.

GameChange Energy integrates platforms to simplify utility-scale solar
Managing multiple suppliers across trackers, eBOS, transformers, and O&M adds cost and risk to every utility-scale project. A more integrated approach from manufacturers – most recently, GameChange Energy – streamlines both procurement and construction, reducing risk for developers and EPCs, according to the company’s CEO, Phillip Vyhanek.

PV module recycling tech based on heavy liquid separation, metal chloride etching
Researchers in China have developed a three-step recycling process for end-of-life crystalline silicon PV modules that recovers high-purity silicon, copper, silver compounds, and other valuable materials while enabling reagent reuse. Life cycle and techno-economic analyses showed the process can cut carbon emissions by 80.42% compared with conventional methods and generate positive returns from solar-cell and solder-strip treatment stages.

Korean scientists build shingled solar module for thermoelectric generators
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Energy Research developed a shingled photovoltaic module designed for efficient integration with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to harvest waste heat via the Seebeck effect. The series-connected strip architecture enables high-voltage, low-current operation that reduces TEG resistance losses, achieving scalable, load-resilient PV–TEG systems with improved efficiency and reliability.

Perovskite tandem PV for agrivoltaics
Researchers evaluated “farm-to-fork” life-cycle impacts of agrivoltaic lettuce systems using perovskite–silicon and perovskite–perovskite tandem PV, comparing them with conventional silicon PV across major US growing regions. The study finds that integrating advanced tandem solar with farming can reduce irrigation demand and significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions—potentially offsetting up to 30.9 million tons of CO₂ and saving around 8.4 billion m³ of water annually under favorable conditions.
