Masdar, GD Power and Korea Electric Power Corp. (Kepco) have reached financial closure on the 2 GW Al Sadawi Solar Project in Saudi Arabia. The financing comprises $ 1.1 billion of eight regional and international banks. August 20, 2025 Patrick Jowett A Masdar-based consortium, the GD power of China and Kepco, have reached financial closure on the 2 GW Al Sadawi Solar Project. The project in the eastern province of Saudi -Arabia will be developed on the basis of build, possession and operation. A 25-year-old electricity purchase agreement (PPA) has been signed with Saudi Power Procurement Co. (SPPC). Secure project…
… what you can do today. PV and installation professionals must now act as module prices fall to new lows, despite efficiency revisions. August 20, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com By PV Magazine Germany PV professionals and planners must take into account that the prices of the modules in August fell again and reached a new layer on the all time. Almost all technology lessons now act on or under January levels, even after the efficiency thresholds distinguished conventional and highly efficient modules were increased by 0.5 percentage points. Nowadays, products with efficiency of less than 23% are rare, because 460…
An International Researc team has included an assembled Monolaag in Perovskite Indoor PV to improve its stability and sustainability. Cells, mini modules and a prototype device from an electronic price tag, the new structure was tested. It turned out to show a lifetime that approached 6000 hours. August 20, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of researchers led by Chinese Soochow University has developed a reliable Perovskite Indoor PV (PIPV) for self-powered devices. The team has developed a small test cell on which they have conducted experiments, together with a mini module and an electronic price tag driven by the technology.…
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) stops financing for internal programs that cause solar and wind construction on agricultural land. USDA sec. Brooke Rollins made the announcement on X Yesterday, referring to concern about Solar and Wind’s ‘destruction’ of the American agricultural land. “We no longer allow companies to use your taxpayer dollars to finance solar projects on Prime American Farmland, and we no longer allow solar panels that are manufactured by foreign opponents to be used in our USDA-Final Projects,” Rollins said in a press release from USDA. Solar projects will no longer be eligible for the USDA development…
The team produced a reverse 1.08 cm2 perovskite solar cell of 16.53% using atomic layer deposit to install a tinoxide buffering layer to prevent rumor damage. August 20, 2025 Valerie Thompson A research team of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has demonstrated an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) method within a lower temperature process to apply a buffer layer of thin film from Tinoxide (SNOX) to protect perovskiet and transport layers against damage during the transparent liveable sputing. Sputtering transparent conductive oxide (TCO) is used to make perovskite tandem and bifacial perovskiet solar cells (PSC) possible. However, sputtering can cause…
Chinese researchers, led by a research team of PV Technology Center of Tongwei Co., LTD, used a consecutive glow process in the manufacture of tandem solar cells, with a wide tire gap perovskiet top cell on a fully textured commercial crystalline silicon heterojunction soerojunction. The resulting device had a certified power conversion efficiency of 31.4%, which performed better than a 29.43%-efficient control cell. August 19, 2025 Valerie Thompson Scientists in China, led by a research team of the PV Technology Center of Tongwei Co., LTD, a unit of Chinese vertical integrated solar manufacturer Tongwei, used a lower temperature, sequentially glowing…
EUPD Research has published the third edition of its flagship study, market leadership study Europe ©: Last Mile Distributed Solar and Energy Storage, which offers a data -held representation of Europe’s evolving residential PV and storage landscape. The report records market dynamics, the performance of leading installers and emerging trends that form the future of the sector. The European residential solar market remains very fragmented, with more than 24,000 installers who are active on the continent, most limited to national or regional markets. Yet a small group of companies is rising above the crowd. According to the analysis of EUPD,…
Infolink Consulting says that global module readings have risen by 10% to 247.9 GW in the first half of 2025, with Jinkosolar closing closer to Longi and Tunneloxide passivated contact (Topcon) technology for more than 94% of the total. August 19, 2025 Vincent Shaw The Taiwan -based research agency Infolink Consulting said that the world’s 10 largest suppliers of solar module shipped around 247.9 GW in the first half of 2025, an increase of 10% compared to a year earlier. Jinkosolar eliminated Longi Green Energy for first place, while Trina Solar and Ja Solar Technology shared third. The top four…
A non -profit installation due to good energy solutions. Good Energy Solutions is pleased to announce a new partnership with Brightwell Capital, a collaboration designed to accelerate the acceptance of clean energy for non -profit organizations, churches and government organizations. This initiative opens the door for mission-driven groups to lower operating costs, improve the resilience of the energy and to reduce their CO2 footprint, while investors have the opportunity to achieve returns that match their values. Many organizations that serve the public, whether it is about feeding families, training students or providing vital services, are interested in solar energy, but…
The American manufacturer Ecoflow has introduced a 6 kWh residential battery and backup system on the Australian market, which is being expanded to 30 kWh. August 19, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Ecoflow said that the Delta Pro Ultra is a stackable power plant of the next generation that is built to serve as an entire home battery generator and backup power system designed for both daily energy consumption and extended malfunctions. A single Delta unit offers 6 kWh capacity and 6,900 w output, and several units can be stacked to offer up to 30 kWh capacity. The…
