New in-roof PV system design from India
Ornate Solar’s engineering team designed, engineered and manufactured the new 530 kWp InRoof solar system in India. It serves as the primary rooftop for Pangaea Natural Stone’s factory in the Indian state of Rajasthan.
PEM fuel cell with lower platinum content
A Chinese-US research group has designed a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with a hybrid electrocatalyst. The scientists said the device shows remarkable stability and low performance losses.
Tenders for floating PV, storage, hybrid wind-solar projects in India
Solar developers have until July 15 to express interest in developing 105 MW of grid-connected floating solar in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
Chinese PV Industry Brief: China’s solar cell capacity exceeds 361 GW
Tongwei has also secured another massive polysilicon order and Golden Glass has invested in more heterojunction solar cell capacity. Furthermore, China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) said 23.7 GW of new solar was deployed in China in the first five months of the year.
Four-terminal tandem perovskite/CIGS solar cell with 25.5% efficiency
Researchers in China have developed a four-junction tandem perovskite/CIGS cell. They claim it is the most efficient device of its kind with an n-i-p structure thus far. They used a novel surface passivation strategy to improve the perovskite cell efficiency and fill factor.
Recycling process promises ‘better than new’ silicon wafers
Scientists in China have developed a new recycling process for PV modules that can recover intact silicon cells from end-of-life products, and process them back into wafers. As part of the recycling process, the wafers are purified and surface-treated, making them suitable for integration into new, high-efficiency cells and modules.
