Research in China has tried to assess how lateral vibrations in diamond wire saw can increase the notch losses in the production of solar wires and have developed a predictive model than allegedly helps to reduce them. Their analysis showed that, with constant saw parameters, smaller waffles suffer from a larger surplus core loss. September 17, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from Chinese Shandong University have proposed a new methodology for the quantitative prediction of surplus core loss caused by lateral vibrations of diamond wires cut in the production of solar wanders. Kerf is the crystalline material that is wasted when…
New research drives perovskiet solar cells into real-world applications Perovskites, a family of materials defined by their crystal structure instead of basic composition, are on the rise as a cheap, efficient and adaptable alternative to silicon in solar energy. NAM-GYU Park, a pioneer in the field that developed the first working Perovskite solar cell, is now working to bring technology closer to the willingness to market by improving sustainability and scalability. The breakthroughs of Park include improving crystal quality and preventing breakdown caused by moisture, heat and light. Laboratory cells now reach conversion -efficiency of around 27 percent, an increase…
Scientists in China have investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a new modular floating photovoltaic system. They did this with the help of a new hybrid approach, which integrates fish choice power effects of computational liquid dynamics into a potential movement solver. They analyzed the new system with different numbers of panels, either in a single chain or a parallel configuration. September 17, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group of the Chinese Dalian University of Technology has investigated the hydrodynamic performance of a new modular floating photovoltaic (FPV) system consisting of interconnected floating units with articulated joints. For the research, the…
I may be old school, but I can find out how I can make a poison. I am still quite old-school when it comes to reporting about a trade fairs-I wear my little notebook and write insights into pen. I reach the last page of the notebook I have worn since my first Solar Power International with Solar Power World10 years ago back. I had a breakfast meeting with LG and then learned about flexible thin film by Miasole-Been companies are now bankrupt, but the memories are still there! The notebook has come in handy if I discuss all the…
Indianapolis established Bila Solar has secured a 10-MW solar panel order from a community-zonne developer to Safe-Harborbor prior to the federal deadline for projects that are eligible for important tax stimuli. The product, Bila Solar’s 550 W Dual-Glass Series, with solar cells manufactured by the US, will be delivered at the end of the year. This timeline underlines the ability of the company to perform on compressed schemes and strengthens its role as a trusted American production partner for developers who navigate by navigating shifting policy and market needs. To meet the rising demand, De Bila Solar scales its American…
The legislative power of California was adopted on the last day of the 2025 session Senate account 302 To release solar developers from paying taxes on IRA benefits. The vast majority of states do not tax such benefits. The legislative power has also paved a bill to create a Western regional electricity market. “We welcome Californian legislators for the adoption of Bill 825 and Senate Bill 302, two commonsense ways to tackle the affordability of energy in the state. We urge Governor Newsom to sign these accounts, which come in the midst of partless attacks and bureaucracy from Washington’s Revelopment…
Scientists at the Italian University of Cagliari investigated the integration of a water electrolyzer with a floating PV-pumped Hydro energy storage system. They discovered that hydrogen production has helped under high conversion to stabilize system efficiency and to lower the level of electricity compared to a system without the electrolyzer. September 15, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from the Italian University of Cagliari have studied the integration of a water electrolyzer in a floating PV-pumped Hydro Energy Storage (FPV-PHES) system, causing the efficiency of the system and level of electricity (LCOE) (LCOE) (LCOE) (LCOE) (LCOE) (LCO) are analyzed. The results appear…
The city of Grand Nancy, France, has awarded a 6.8 MW Solar Carport tender to Holosolis, who bond the 2027 project to the planned 5 GW factory in the Grand Est region. September 16, 2025 Gwénaëlle Deboutte Image: Pierron -Architecture By PV Magazine France The administration of the city of Nancy, in the Murthe-et-Moselle Department of the Grand EST region in the northeast of France, announced that the solar modules of the French manufacturer Holosolis selected for a 6.8 MW Solar Carport project in Development in the Nancy Zenith Concert Hall. Holosolis is planning a 5 GW cell and module…
With German Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with 87%, a panel from experts fell that hybrid Zonne-Plus-Storage projects are now the only bankable road. September 16, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News The European market for renewable energy renewal is staggering under the weight of its own success. The era of developing independent solar projects that are supported by PPAS may be finished, because the afternoon generation of the afternoon sees the price of cannibalization and negative price hours in several regions. Although it is still a relatively fun problem to have versus too little generation for low -carbon and…
Researchers at Monash University in Australia have developed a new carbon -based material that they claim to store so much energy as traditional lead acid batteries, while delivering electricity much faster than conventional batteries. September 16, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Researchers at Monash University have applied a rapid thermal glowing step to a graphite oxide prisoner to deliver super capacitors that have reached power densities, as high as 69.2 kW per liter, while quickly demonstrating charging options with excellent cycle stability. Supercondensators are an upcoming class of energy storage devices that save electrostatically, rather than due to…
