Self -regulated molecular anchoring stimulates stable high efficiency perovskiet solar cells While Perovskiet solar cells (PSCs) are getting closer to commercialization, researchers treat hidden performance losses on the buried electron transport interimface. A team led by Prof. dr. Guozhen Liu, Prof. dr. Zhihua Zhang, and Prof. dr. Xu Pan has developed a strategy for one molecule called self -regulated bilateral anchoring that improves efficiency and sustainability in both rigid and flexible devices. The buried interface is susceptible to oxygen vacancies, incorrectly aligned energy levels, mechanical stress and solvent -related instability, all of which hinder long -term performance. The team used…

Vertical Solar Specialist about Easy Solar has broken his own record for the world’s largest vertical solar on the roof with a system of 320 kW in the Norwegian city of Tromsø. September 24, 2025 Patrick Jowett Norwegian startup About easy solar energy has used what it claims to be the world’s largest installation on the roof of vertical solar panels in Tromsø, north Norway. The 320 kW of solar array has 6,400 vertical solar panels installed on the top of the logistics Terminal Tromsøterminals. According to the company, it was mounted by three people in four days About Easy…

Swiss company Insolight has inaugurated a 250 kW of agrivoltaic installation on apple, peer and apricot orchards in conte, which produced 300 MWh per year for the grid, in collaboration with Agroscope, Romane Energie and the Canton of Valais. September 25, 2025 Francois Puthod By PV Magazine France Swiss company Insolight ordered its latest Agrivoltaic Installation on 18 September, built on the site of one of its partners, the Agroscope Federal Center for Agronomy, in Conhe, Switzerland. “This isn’t our first pilot installation on the site. We started in 2021 with two small solar demonstrators that were used to power…

Solar systems with a combined capacity of 340 kW are engaged in three water supply and washbasin facilites in the West -Ukrainian city of Chortkiv, designed to offer residents a continuous water supply. September 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett Solar energy plants are installed in three water supply and waste water facilities in the city of Chortkiv, located in the Ternopiloblast of West -Ekraine. The factories have been developed through a project implemented by the international financial institution based in Helsinki Nefco-De Nordic Green Bank, which has been working with Chortkiv since 2018 to improve the energy efficiency of its public…

Solar Servicing, a full subsidiary of Forbright Bank, has completed the transaction to acquire the loan control of the financing platform Mosaic After it had submitted a bankruptcy of Chapter 11 in June. Through the transaction, the maintenance activities of Mosaic are the switch to Solar Servicing. The company intends to continue the loan activities of Mosaic as usual. “The deep bank of Forbright from Management Talent and the hard work of the new Mosaic team members enabled this complicated transaction to be carried out according to a high standard for all maintenance customers,” said John Delaney, executive chairman and…

A report from SolarPower Europe and Fraunhofer ISE believes that EU-made solar modules € 0.103 ($ 0.12)/W costs more than Chinese import, but targeted policy can close the gap and help the EU’s 30 GW annual production objective reach by 2030. September 25, 2025 Patrick Jowett Producing a solar module in Europe with EU-made solar cells costs around € 0.103 ($ 0.12)/W more than producing the same module in China, according to a new report. The The production of solar module to Europe again Report, by SolarPower Europe and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), says that the…

Hybrid project combines a 100 MW Linear Fresnel-Concentrated solar power (CSP) with a PV facility of 900 MW, which delivers 24-hour output and demonstrates large-scale storage integration. September 25, 2025 Vincent Shaw China Three Gorges Group has a 1 GW hybrid concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic complex in Hami, Xinjiang, connected to the grid in what is described as the world’s largest integrated facility of its kind. Before this performance, the world’s largest CSP-PV factory was the Noor Energy 1 project in the VAE, with a total capacity of 950 MW, of which 700 MW CSP and 250 MW…

New insights into Halogenide Perovskites could transform solar cell technology The worldwide electricity consumption is increasing rapidly and researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have made progress in the direction of the development of the next generation of solar cell materials. Their work uses computer simulations and machine learning to better understand Halogenide Perovskites, which are lightweight, flexible and very efficient, but susceptible to instability. According to the International Energy Agency, electricity will be good for more than half of the energy consumption in 25 years, an increase of 20 percent today. “To meet demand, there is a…

Mexican utilities Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) is looking for proposals for the Puerto Peñascia Secuencia III Solar Plant, which will also include 103 MW battery capacity. September 25, 2025 Luis Ini Image: Alexander Schimmeck, Unsplash By PV Magazine Mexico The CFE has launched a tender for the construction of Puerto Peñasco Sequence III photovoltaic power plant, in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The project will add up to 300 MW of alternating current PV generation, plus 103 MW (three hours) back -up battery storage systems. This project is part of the 2025-30 National Electric System expansion plan as a…
