Lograr una garantía de 40 años para los módulos mediante la ciencia de los datos y la ingeniería
¿Cuánto dura un sistema solar? El 9 de junio, Maxeon mostrará cómo las pruebas, los datos de campo, la modelización y las mejoras de diseño han dado a la empresa la confianza suficiente para respaldar una garantía de 40 años.
Spain streamlines permits for utility scale solar, supports another 7GW under self-consumption
The measures include a regulatory framework for floating PV; new rules for renewable gas pipelines, such as hydrogen infrastructure; and the release of 10% of grid access capacity to absorb an additional 7GW under self-consumption.
French consortium develops self-cleaning solar module coating
French chemical company Axcentive and solar module manufacturer Photowatt have developed a PV panel coating based on photoactive nanotechnology. The coating relies on a super-hydrophilic surface that makes the water spread out on the module surface immediately, thus avoiding light scattering effects upon rain.
Vanadium redox flow battery prototype from Spain
Researchers in Spain have assembled a 10kW/20kWh vanadium redox flow demonstrator that paves the way for a 50kW battery.
Switzerland plans winter bonus for PV systems with a tilt angle of at least 75 degrees
The Swiss Federal Council has the task of standardizing the incentives for renewable energy and has now started the related parliamentary process. A winter bonus for photovoltaic systems may be introduced in the future.
Tin perovskite solar cell with operational stability of over 1,300h
Scientists in Spain have built a 10.61%-efficient tin perovskite solar cell with improved open-circuit voltage and stability. The device was fabricated with formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI<sub3), sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent, and a bulky secondary ammonium cation of small size known as dipropylammonium iodide (DipI).
Ultrathin photovoltaic silicon membrane with 65% light absorption
A Dutch-British research group is developing a 1μm crystalline silicon membrane with a remarkable optical performance and a hyper-uniform pattern design. A simulation of the device was theoretically able to achieve an absorption equivalent photocurrent of 26.3mA/cm2.
Fortescue, E.ON sign green hydrogen deal for Europe
A new deal between Fortescue Future Industries and E.ON will see the Australian company deliver 5 million tons of green hydrogen to Germany, the Netherlands, and multiple cities in Europe by 2030.
New solar-powered boiler from Germany
Timo Leukefeld GmbH has started offering a decentralized water-heating solution with capacities ranging from 125 liters to 200 liters.
The Hydrogen Stream: UK and Germany invest in tech, mobility and supplies
UK climate tech business Levidian has presented a new device. Loop hydrogen has a typical levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) of around £2.27/kg, the company told pv magazine. Meanwhile, companies are considering investment in the Celtic Sea, Hamburg, and Galicia and Toyota has announced that hydrogen-powered engine performance has been improved to levels comparable to gasoline engines in just six months.
