Sinexcel’s new inverters offer an efficiency rating of 97.5% to 98.0% and a European efficiency range of 97.2% to 97.5%.

Researchers at India’s National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar, Assam, have designed a formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) active layer-based perovskite solar cell. It could potentially achieve a power conversion efficiency of 31.57%, while also scoring well on other performance parameters.

From zero to hero in 20 years, China’s PV industry has undergone an extraordinary journey. Vincent Shaw considers the reasons for the nation’s solar success and the challenges ahead.

Ayana Renewable Power says it will develop more than 1 GW of solar and wind capacity, supplemented with a storage solution, to ensure round-the-clock power supplies.

Canadian Solar shipped 6.1 GW of solar panels in the first three months of this year, up 68% from the first quarter of 2022.

Next Energy’s Dulight150 carport hosts bifacial solar panels with power outputs of 590 W and an efficiency rating of 21.1%. It is available in four different versions, with capacities ranging from 3.5 kW to 10.62 kW.

Vibrant Energy will set up a 100 MW (DC) wind-solar hybrid project in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The plant will be connected to the interstate transmission system (ISTS) and will supply round-the-clock power to Saint-Gobain’s facilities in the country.

Scientists in Singapore have developed a methodology to calculate the levelized cost of hydrogen in green hydrogen facilities powered by photovoltaics, emphasizing the need for a levelized cost of storage (LCOH) below $10/kg to enable green hydrogen to compete with gray, blue, and orange hydrogen in the current technology landscape.

RE+ held the Solar + Storage España event in Barcelona on May 10 and 11, in collaboration with pv magazine. Our team of editors curated and hosted the two-day “Sun of Spain to Lead Europe” conference.

Qcells says it is building a pilot line for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells that will start operations later this year in South Korea. It is working closely with its team in Germany, where it has already established another pilot line for tandem cells.
