The Taiwanese manufacturer has announced its WST-480BDX54-B2 Ultra Black Glass glass for the European market. It has an efficiency of 23.5%. August 12, 2025 Lior Kahana The WST-480BDX54-B2 Ultra Black Glass-Glass Image: Winaico Taiwanese manufacturer Winaiico has launched a new 480 W, Black Glass-Glass module on the European market. Dub-synchronized WST-480BDX54-B2 Ultra Black Glass glass, the new product has all its electric contacts at the rear of the solar cells. “With the introduction of our new 480 W Back contact module, we set new standards in aesthetics, performance and reliability,” said Marc Ortmanns, Director of Operations of Winaico Deutschland. “Thanks…

An international research team has built an indoor perovk site PV device using a triple passion treatment to reduce crystal defects in the perovskiet film. The cell achieved remarkable efficiency and was also able to maintain 92% of his initial performance after 3,200 hours. August 12, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of researchers led by University College London has manufactured a perovskite in the solar cell that is claimed to be more efficient than the best commercially available indoor solar cells. Considered for applications in keyboards, remote controls, alarms and sensors, the device was manufactured with what the scientists described…

While today’s best silicon solar panels achieve efficiency rates around 22%, they’re still hitting a ceiling that physics established over 60 years ago. The Shockley-Queisser limit, calculated in 1961, places a maximum theoretical efficiency of about 33% for single-junction silicon solar cells. This means that even with perfect engineering, traditional silicon panels can only capture about one-third of the sun’s energy. For homeowners investing in solar energy, this highlights billions of watts of untapped potential sitting right above their heads. The gap between current performance and theoretical limits isn’t due to poor manufacturing or outdated designs. Instead, it stems from…

Equity and Debt Facility offers Sunsave resources to increase the deployment and to develop, according to co-founder Ben Graves Home Energy Management System (EMS). The start -Up offers solar energy on subscription based on customers who have the installation on their property from the offset. August 12, 2025 Matthew Lynas UK Start Up Sunsav PV -Magazine With the funds, the company can make solar energy on the roof accessible to more consumers. The financing round comprises GBP 13 million in equity plus a GBP 100 million debt facility of Crédit Agricole CIB. Equity Fundraising was also led by Norrsken VC…

Solarcycle has signed supply agreements for almost the entire production capacity of solar glass, before the upcoming glass factory in Cedartown, Georgia, has even started. Today, the company announced its latest collaboration-a five-year agreement with Illuminate USA for 3 GW of Zonneglas every year. Illuminate joins other American manufacturers Silfab, Runergy, Helieen and more in securing a household glass stock. “This agreement is a useful signal for the market about the future of solar production in the US,” said SUVI Sharma, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of SolarCycle. “Despite a challenging policy brewers, there is still a considerable market demand…

The Chinese manufacturer said that his new IEC 61215-certified PV module on the roof depends on an aluminum frame of 30 mm and dual-glass construction that is said to help with the resistance of extreme snow loads and wind pressure. August 12, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Chinese Sun Module Maker Jinkosolar has launched a new roof module with two glasses of glass roof based on the design of tunneloxide-passivated contact (Topcon). “Developed with advanced Topcon 3.0 cell technology and dual-glass construction, this 475 W powerful solution redefines distributed energy systems through superior performance, reliability and aesthetics-het Maximizing the efficiency for residential…

Infinity Power submitted winning bids of € 0.03310 ($ 0.039)/kWh and € 0.03213/kWh for two solar projects of a total of 80 MW, which marks the lowest rates that are secured by an independent power producer in West and Central Africa. August 11, 2025 Patrick Jowett Infinity Power, a joint venture between that of Egypt Infinity and tabu dhabi established Masdarhas received two solar projects in the Ivory coast. The company will design, finance, build and exploit the two of the sun factories associated on the ground, which have a combined capacity of 80 MW, after winning an international purchasing…

The investment package has a $ 200 million loan for the implementation of the project and a $ 50 million preferred investment. The approval would have been opposed by various members of the IFC board of directors. August 11, 2025 Patrick Jowett The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private low -financing of the World Bank, has approved a loan of a maximum of $ 250 million for a polysilicon production facility in Oman. Omani Company United Solar Polysilicon (FZC) SPC started the construction of the facility in March 2024. It will be built in the Sohar Freezone in North novel…

PV -hardware has developed a Solar Trackers system that can adjust system research with a maximum of 2 ° post-by-post. By achieving a larger slope variation between posts, PVH trackers can be installed on more complex or irregular sites, where extensive assessment was previously required. The ability to follow natural topography while maintaining structural reliability and energy yield becomes a key factor in the technical and financial viability of many solar developments. “This milestone strengthens our dedication to push the boundaries of engineering for solar scale on Utility scale,” said Eduardo Chillaron, worldwide technical manager of PVH. “By increasing the…

Highland materials will build a 16,000-tonne polysilicon factory (MT) at a former American nuclear project location, under a long-term lease with crucial production. August 11, 2025 Rachel Metea By PV Magazine USA The crucial production has acquired 140 hectares where a nuclear power plant, ravaged by scandal, was left with 40% to construction with more than $ 2.6 billion in debts. It has signed a long -term rental agreement with highland materials for a polysilicon advanced production facility and a campus of other energy projects. According to the US Department of Energy (DIY), the production facility of Highland will have…
