Israel installs coastal submarine power cable
Israel’s new underwater transmission line span approximately 150 km from Ashkelon to Haifa in the north. The government says the new cable may be connected to a submarine transmission line that Israel, Greece and Cyprus plan to build in the Mediterranean Sea.
Novel assessment of PV-powered air conditioning
A research team in Turkey sought to assess how solar power may help reduce emissions and improve performance in air conditioning systems. Their analysis showed that using a heater in the AC system improves the coefficient of performance and mitigates negative environmental effects.
Reliability analysis of n-type modules

We will explore a roadmap to TOPCon module production and hear from industry experts about the advantages of this new technology that’s gaining traction for large-scale solar installations.
The Hydrogen Stream: Lhyfe launches world’s first offshore hydrogen project
Lhyfe has started producing offshore hydrogen via a pilot project in France, and Toyota and its partners have agreed to invest in hydrogen in Thailand. The Australian authorities, meanwhile, have approved a hydrogen project in Victoria.
TotalEnergies-led group nails financing for 119 MW of solar in Saudi Arabia
A consortium led by TotalEnergies has secured financing for a 119 MW project that it won in a 2021-22 tender held by the Saudi authorities. It will be located in Wadi Al Dawasir.
The Hydrogen Stream: Northern Europe can produce green hydrogen
Finnish researchers have said in a new report that northern European countries could produce cheap hydrogen domestically, while TotalEnergies, Schneider Electric and other companies signed new hydrogen project deals.
Triple cation perovskite PV cell with ETL based on tin(IV) oxide hits 17.1% efficiency
Qatari researchers have incorporated an electron transport layer (ETL) made of tin(IV) oxide into a perovskite solar cell through air-thermal-annealing, resulting in better efficiency and stability. The device demonstrated an open-circuit voltage of 1.045 V, a short-circuit current of 22.01 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 74.3%.
