Solarpro says it is building a 450 MW solar power plant in northern Hungary using Longi modules. December 22, 2025 Brian Public Solarpro is building a 450 MW solar power plant in Heves County, Hungary. The company said it will be the largest PV installation in the country. The Europe-based engineering, procurement, construction and operations and maintenance contractor is deploying nearly 700,000 solar panels supplied by Chinese manufacturer Longi. The project is expected to generate approximately 470 GWh of electricity per year, which is sufficient to supply approximately 106,000 households with electricity, according to Solarpro. The companies said the plant…

Wood Mackenzie has released its latest “Global ranking of solar panel manufacturersreport for the first half of 2025, in which solar panel companies are assessed on deliveries, financeability and performance. JA Solar and Trinasolar jointly claimed the highest rank, with scores of 91.7 and 91.6 respectively. The report evaluated 38 crystalline silicon module manufacturers and highlights a growing operational and financial gap within the industry. Leading companies are focusing on technology, usage and geographic diversification to address the persistent problem of oversupply. “Despite dominating 80% of global shipments, the world’s largest solar manufacturers are feeling the pressure of a tough…

In a new weekly update for pv magazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that Europe’s solar power generation potential showed a strong east-west split in November, with Eastern Europe experiencing irradiance 15 to 20% below normal due to persistent storms, while much of Western and Central Europe recorded 15 to 20% above average levels under brighter conditions. The Atlantic coast was an exception, as Storm Claudia reduced insolation to near or below average in Portugal, the British Isles and parts of France and Spain. December 19, 2025 Solar power generation potential across Europe showed a clear divide between east and west…

Seal solar energy is in the final stages of construction of a 13.05 MW array Baptist Healththe largest private, not-for-profit healthcare organization based in Arkansas. This array is one of the largest non-utility scale systems installed in Arkansas. Seal Solar is installing 22,300 double-sided solar panels on 49 hectares of a former rice farm. “Baptist Health is excited to be part of this new solar farm – a step toward generating cleaner, more sustainable energy while lowering costs,” said Brent Beaulieu, CFO of Baptist Health. “This project reflects our commitment to being a greener organization and builds on our strong…

This week, Women in Solar+ Europe presents Sonia de Sales, director of development at the Spanish Altano Energy. She emphasizes that the implementation of an equal opportunities plan is crucial to ensure open and fair recruitment, including balanced shortlists and actively recruiting female candidates where they are under-represented, while hiring on merit and making this clearly visible. December 19, 2025 Women in Solar+ Europe When asked why the solar, energy storage, EV charging, and grid infrastructure industries are especially in need of gender diversity and inclusion, I always start with the same point: these industries, like all others, benefit significantly…

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a vapor deposition process that significantly improves the long-term and high-temperature stability of perovskite-silicon (Si) tandem solar cells. The work demonstrates vapor deposition on micrometer-textured industrial silicon wafers, matching the wafer structures used in commercial solar energy production and bringing tandem devices closer to real-world use. The process enables conformal, high-quality perovskite layers on micrometer-scale textured silicon wafers, meeting a key requirement for mass production. The tandem cells achieve an energy conversion efficiency of more than 30 percent and maintain operational stability after 2,000 hours, including a T90 lifespan of…
