Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) has developed a new reactive plasma deposition (RPD) method to form Ultradunne Tinoxide-Electrone Transport layers (ETL) for perovskite solar cells. It claims that this enables mass production with a low temperature with minimal substrate damage. August 22, 2025 Brian Publicover Sumitomo Heavy Industries has developed a new deposition technology for ultra -thin electron transport layers, an important part of the next generation of perovskiet solar cells. The company established in Tokyo said this week in a press release that uses the cost-effective material method and a low-impact process, in which important barriers are tackled for scaling…

Lithium ion battery maker Energy Renaissance went into the administration in Australia after an important investor has withdrawn from a planned financing round, leaving the company in a cash crisis. August 22, 2025 EV Foley Image: Energy Renaissance By PV Magazine Australia Australian lithium -battery producer Energy Renaissance went into liquidation, only a few months after celebrating a decade in business. The company, which makes a high energy density, air-cooled lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems, has also recently launched a new cyber security battery designed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSiro) And built by…

Bess Developer-Operator Field has brought a 2-hour Bess in commercial operation north of the heavily limited B4 transmission boundary in Scotland.The Aucheraw Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) near Fort Augustus is the fourth and largest for Field, announcing this week (August 20) and his first in Scotland.The project will offer flexibility services to the schedule and tackle ‘significant limitation costs’ in the region, said it.Thanks to the location north of the B4 transmission limit over the Scottish central belt. There are huge amounts of wind energy north of the border, most of which have to go to requirements in the…

The new market for energy storage from China reached a milestone in the first half of 2025, according to a new report from CNESA, earlier this week released at the Western Energy Storage Forum in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. CNESA said that the total energy storage fleet of China was at 164.3 GW Eind-June, an increase of 59% year after year, while cumulative storage of new energy-pre-bodied Lithium-ion battery storage systems for Batterijen-Vooren first surpassed 100 GW compared to 101.3 GW reached last year) Source link

Scientists have made a sunshine dryer for slices of Mango, with PV-driven forced convection. They place Mango slices of different thicknesses in it, they have measured the operation of their device against two reference methods and have discovered that thermal efficiency achieved 30%. August 22, 2025 Lior Kahana A research group led by scientists from Matttu University in Ethiopia has developed and analyzed a solar cabinet dryer for mangoblaks, with PV-driven forced convection. To tackle the poor thermal efficiency of previously reported cupboards, the team has included rectangular Scots in the setup. “Built using locally available materials, the dryer in…

The Fraunhofer ISE has defined new technical procedures to test the performance of large Perovskiet-Silicon Tandem PV modules using the spectral variability of the LED sun simulator. The proposed approach is said to reduce the handling, time and therefore financial efforts of devices. August 22, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the German Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Ise) have developed a new one Procedure for the precise and traceable spectral adjustment of LED-based solar simulators for measurements of large perovskiet-silicon tandem solar modules. “We showed, For the first time, a complete calibration of perovskite with a large area…

The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSSB) has approved the maximum 220 MW Eastern Cotton Solar Solar project for construction. The project developed by EDF Power Solutionsreceived his certificate of environmental compatibility and public needs and will be in Walnut Township in Fairfield County, Ohio. “We are very happy to see that the Eastern Cottontail Solar Project will continue with the approval of today,” said Nick Lucania, main developer of the Eastern Cottontail Solar Project. “This milestone is the result of years of involvement in the Fairfield County community, farmers and landowners and local officials to tune the project to community…

Voltfang has opened what it claims is the largest battery storage factory in the second life in West Germany, with 250 MWh annual capacity expected in 2026 and a target of 1 GWh before 2031. August 22, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By ESS News Voltfang has officially opened its ‘future FAB’ production site in Aachen, Germany. The factory will produce second-life battery storage systems for industrial, commercial and large-scale applications. The company said that the annual production capacity will reach 250 MWh next year and rises to 1 GWh before 2031. It claimed that the Fab-op de Triwo Technopark Aachen, at…

A Chinese-Japanes research team has developed a new laser technology for the micro-turning of transparent and hard materials for solar cell packaging. The process is based on a silver ion solution that is said to be able to achieve high -quality connections. August 22, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the Heei University of Science and Technology in China and Riken Center for Advanced Photonics in Japan showed a new Silver Ion Solution Support Femtosecond Laser process for welding process from glass to glass with the aim of ultimately applying it to solar cell packaging. The team demonstrated the strength of…
