A Danish research group is working on an automated material discovery and performance optimization platform for perovskite solar cells. The scientists claim a unique combination of robotics, advanced measurement equipment, and machine learning.

Researchers in Denmark have developed a new sizing strategy to combine PV system operation with lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. The proposed approach is claimed to reduce annual battery cycle by 13%.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says US hydrogen production will increase about 80% by 2050, mainly from natural gas with minimal electrolyzer use, while key industry players advance large-scale green hydrogen projects and expand hydrogen vehicle support across global markets.

Denmark’s Green Energy Group provides vehicle-integrated PV solutions for road transport customers in Europe and North America. Its PV systems feature copper-indium-gallium-selenide thin film technology in solutions that are designed to extend onboard battery life, cut Co2 emissions, and decrease diesel fuel consumption.

An international research team has investigated the impact of intrinsic point defects in selenium solar cells and has concluded that these defects are not responsible for voltage deficit. The scientists rather believe interfaces and extended defects may be the cause of this well-known issue for this kind of PV device.

Researchers in Denmark claim to have identified the best locations for rear plane-of-array irradiance sensors on the back of single-axis trackers in bifacial PV projects. Their work suggests how to reduce sensor quantities while maintaining accurate performance monitoring.

Researchers in Australia have developed a simplified residual network-based architecture method to filter out noise from electroluminescence images of PV modules. The proposed technique reportedly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of automated inspection systems for utility-scale PV plants.

A Danish trade group has ruled out any link between suspicious components found in local energy equipment and recent reports of compromised solar inverters in the United States, narrowing the scope of an ongoing cybersecurity investigation.

Denmark’s largest energy community is now under construction, featuring more than 30,000 sqm of solar rooftops with a total capacity of about 4 MW. The project will use building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) on pitched roofs and building-attached photovoltaics (BAPV) on flat roofs from Danish specialist Solartag.

The recent discovery of unexplained components in Danish energy equipment highlights the urgent need for stronger EU solar cybersecurity rules, according to SolarPower Europe.
