Bifacial Cuinse2 solar cells achieve record efficiency on transparent substrates The distribution of energy and environmental technology at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has developed a thin film solar cell of the next generation that can generate electricity from both sides. Spearhead led by main investigators Daehwan Kim and Shijoon Sung, the Team Smalle Band Gap Cuinse2 made up solar cells with the help of copper, indium and selenium on transparent electrodes substrates, which introduces a bifacial architecture that increases the energy yield. Bifacial solar cells are designed to harvest sunlight from both the front and…
Solex Energy has unveiled two N-type solar modules with more than 23% efficiency, designed for zones with a high radiation and the extreme climate conditions of northwest India. July 23, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Solex Energy has developed two new N-type solar modules that are tailored to the extreme climate conditions and zones with a high irradiation of Rajasthan, India. The first panel, tapi r, is a rectangular cell n-type tunneloxide-passivated contact (topcon) module with outputs ranging from 595 W to 625 W and module efficiency of 23.14%. It has 132 half -cut rectangular cells to offer…
Italy goes into force with the market that is preparing for the first Macse auction in September this year, and the 15-year contracts are expected to help projects in Italy very bankable. The German depth and liquidity have made it a striking market with a clear revenue potential, and investors are preparing for the next large markets in Europe.Main themes for 2026 will include opportunities for energy storage throughout Europe, market design and policy reform, access the long duration of the CAP and floor schedule, income, insights in investors, tackling the skills gap, demand growth and data centers, and tackling…
The latest report of the International Renewable Energy Agency finds in the global average level of electricity for the year at utilities at the utilities on an annual basis, while the global average total installed costs of solar projects on utility scale fell by 11%. July 23, 2025 Patrick Jowett The globalized weighted average level of electricity (LCO) Solar plants on Utility scale amounted to $ 0.043/kWh in 2024, according to the Final report of the International Office for Renewable Energy (Irena). The result is an increase of 0.6% on an annual basis, compared to a 12% decrease in the…
The unit will restore late life parks for life halfway. Image: Statkraft UK. Energy supplier OVO Energy has unveiled plans to launch a new business unit that focuses on generating renewable energy. The proposed new arm, called OVO -renewable energy sources, is planning to buy onshore wind farms that reach the middle to the late stages of their lifespan, before they are shepherfully using modern technology to extend their lifespan. OVO Renewables states that this will help to bring more green energy to customers faster by reducing the time required for infrastructure planning. OVO Energy states that OVO -renewable energy…
Tens of thousands of contaminated sites across the United States have resulted from accidents, spills, leaks, and improper disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. As of 2017, EPA and its partners reported overseeing approximately 640,000 to 1,319,100 facilities to prevent releases into communities. From abandoned industrial sites to former military bases, these contaminated areas represent a massive environmental and economic challenge that affects millions of Americans. Traditional soil remediation methods are only costly and energy-intensive, with thermal treatment approaches requiring elevated temperatures and electrical power to drive cleanup equipment. Remediation costs can range from $300 to $500 per ton for…
The energy transition of Australia wins “really measurable momentum”, in which the market operator reports a record golf of new projects for solar energy, wind and energy storage projects through the schedule connection process, on a larger scale than ever before. July 22, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia The newest Australian Energy Market Operators (AEMO) Connections Scorecard shows an increase in new generation and storage capacity with 260 projects of a total of 53 GW through the connection process in the National Electricity Market (NEM), an increase of almost 40% compared to the same time last year. Aemo…
Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions, a non-profit educational organization in New Mexico, announced a continuous collaboration with everyone Solar for the installation of a new 108-KW solar array and charging station for electric vehicle on the historic base camp. Building on the successful cooperation of 2019, which brought 8.85 kW of solar energy and has driven more than 17,000 pounds direct carbon savings, this new solar project will reduce electricity costs and at the same time deepen the long-term dedication of Cottonwood Gulch for sustainability and hands-on learning. The investment not only offers environmental benefits, but also serves as an essential educational…

Wind-driven technical forces Solar panel Dust remove without external electricity Due to a joint effort with Dr. Wanchul Seung At the Global Technology Research Division of Samsung Electronics, Professor Juhyuck Lee and his team of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at Dgist have developed a self -intended system for cleaning solar panels. The innovation combines wind energy with the technology for electrodynamic screen (EDS), which eliminates the need for external power sources. Dust structure on solar panels can drastically reduce their efficiency. EDS Technology, which uses electric fields to release dust, has proven to be valuable at external…
