German researchers have assessed recent studies into hydrogen -related breakdown in silicon solar cells. They said that the work is at the right time, with the silicon of the N-type that dominates production and emerging antimony doping. August 1, 2025 Valerie Thompson Hydrogen can be beneficial for silicon zonnet technologies, bulk and surface defects passivate, or harmful, which contributes to degradation (Letid) and surface-related breakdown (SRD) induced by light and increased temperature. In order to promote a better understanding of recent research results on the use of hydrogen with silicon (SI) solar cells and the related degradation symptoms, researchers from…

Researchers in India have developed a cooling technology that uses calcium chloride for harvesting atmospheric water. The system is said to improve the PV module by a maximum of 18%. August 1, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Scientists from the PSG College of Technology of India have developed a passive cooling technology for solar module that uses a hygroscopic salt to harvest atmospheric water from the air. “The goal is to apply the water production technique of atmospheric air to cool the front of the panel,” Researcher R. Jegathishkumar told PV -Magazine. “Most cooling systems are designed to offer cooling at the…
Senators of Ohio State Mark Romanchuk (R-Constario) and Kent Smith (D-Euclid) have introduced SB 231Two-fitting legislation that would set up a community energy and pilot program, so that OHIO would create much-needed local energy to provide artificial intelligence, data centers and a revival of production in the state. SB 231’s Companion Bill, HB 303is currently in the Ohio House of Representatives, introduced by state representatives Jim Hoops (R-Napoleon) and Sharon Ray (R-Wadsworth). Community Energy includes Community -Zonne, so that everyone with an electricity bill can benefit from affordable, locally generated solar energy. Residents, companies and other subscribers can use the…
