Researchers achieve record perovskite solar module stability under light, heat, and UV stress
An international research team has developed a new two-dimensional perovskite interlayer based on a co-crystal engineering strategy for more robust perovskite films. It demonstrated improved performance in small area perovskite solar cells and, in a 48 cm2 module, contributed to retain 95% of initial efficiency after 5,000 h.
Sistemi di accumulo BESS e normativa italiana di prevenzione incendi
In questo webinar organizzato da pv magazine Italia, esperti del fornitore di batterie Fox ESS presenteranno le principali tematiche legate alla normativa antincendio per i sistemi BESS di diverse taglie. La normativa, recentemente aggiornata con la Circolare DCPREV n. 21021, introduce criteri antincendio dettagliati e comporta alcune complessità nella realizzazione dei progetti BESS. Durante il webinar verrà spiegato come superare o mitigare tali criticità e saranno illustrate le opportunità offerte dai progetti conformi ai vari regolamenti. Sarà presentato anche un business case con il sistema BESS G-Max, mostrando come integrare sicurezza e design per il settore commerciale e industriale rispettando le norme. L’evento si rivolge a professionisti del settore e prevede una sessione di Q&A per approfondimenti tecnici e normativi.
Capex-driven strategies can reduce solar LCOE by 20%
An international research group has conducted a literature review of capital expenditure-driven levelized cost of electricity optimization strategies for utility-scale PV systems. Tracking optimization, system voltage escalation, and advanced system design are identified as the most promising cost reduction areas. “The next wave of PV research must be LCOE-native, system-level, and deployment-validated,” a member of the research group said.
France, Germany, Italy break solar records in December
AleaSoft Energy Forecasting’s latest analysis finds Germany broke its record for solar production on a day in December on Christmas Day, reaching 87 GWh, while Italy and France achieved the same feat three days later, registering 66 GWh and 54 GWh respectively.
Eni, FuturaSun set up startup for perovskite-silicon tandem module production
Italian energy group Eni and solar manufacturer FuturaSun have launched SunXT, a new startup focused on developing and producing perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules, building on FuturaSun’s research expertise.
Clivet releases residential air-to-air heat pump
The Italian manufacturer said its new Fullness heat pump system has a coefficient of performance of 2.8 and a seasonal energy efficiency ratio of 3.79.
European solar manufacturers urge Italy to revise heterojunction tax rule
Eleven European solar module makers say Italy’s 2026 tax incentive unfairly favors heterojunction (HJT) technology, risks higher costs and limits competition across the PV market.
Italy clears 710 MW of solar in Puglia, challenges regional PV rules
The italian government says it is fast-tracking utility-scale solar, approving about 710 MW of mainly agrivoltaic projects in Puglia while moving to curb regional limits on where PV plants can be built, sharpening tensions over land use and energy policy.
The Hydrogen Stream: Europe forecasts €240 billion for hydrogen grids to 2040
The European Commission says its new grids package includes €240 billion ($281.8 billion) for hydrogen networks to 2040, alongside fresh Italian State aid for clean tech deployment.
Interspace single-axis agrivoltaics has lowest environmental impact in Europe
A group of scientists has simulated fixed vertical, interspace and overhead single-axis as well as overhead dual-axis agrivoltaic systems for 30 years and has found interspace single-axis system emerged as the most environmentally favorable configuration in Europe.
