New method increases the efficiency of solar cells by refining nanorod distance A team of Chinese scientists has developed a breakthrough technique to refine the distance of titanium dioxide nanodic structures that the key to improving the conversion of solar energy, without changing their shape or size. The result: solar cells that are not only more efficient, but are easier to produce on a scale. Under the leadership of Prof. dr. Wang Mingtai With the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, the researchers achieved precise control over nanorod density using a refined growth process. Their method enables them to adjust how…

Researchers in Türkiye have conducted an experimental study into the ideal tilting angles for PV systems that are deployed on canals. Their analysis showed that an 8Z Kantelhoek has consistently exhibited larger performance. July 8, 2025 Lior Kahana Scientists from Van Yuzuncu Yil University in Türkiye have conducted an experimental study into channel mounted PV (CM -PV) systems to measure the ideal tilting angles for implementation. “CM-PV panel systems have various advantages. Thanks to evaporation cooling, panel efficiency increases with the fall in panel temperature and no external energy source is needed for this cooling process,” the research team said.…
A number of changes have been made since the first consultation was launched in 2023. Image: E.ON. E.on UK has opened a consultation on revised plans for a proposal of 25 MW PV PV energy plant. The Lentons Lane Solar Farm will be next to the M6 Fastweg in the Coventry area. A consultation about first plans for development was launched in 2023; After a considerable part of the feedback from the community, plans for the site have been re -developed and are now being brought to the community for opinions between 3 July and 8 September 2025. The proposal…
Energy Minister Michael Shanks on the Clean Power 2030 Summit. CP2030 can get ‘Great Britain of the roller coaster from Global Fossil Fuel Markets and bring down accounts, Sank said today. Image: Solar Media. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has opened the window for evidence for reforming the grid connections. The evidence that is open today (July 8) and remains open until just before midnight on July 29. Energy generation and demand projects with existing connection agreements are invited to participate. The much -discussed process has two goals. One is to cut projects in the queue with a less…
On July 7, days after the budget law was signed, President Trump stated an executive order that the American department of the treasury instructed To give new guidelines on the foreign entity of concern (FEOC) and ITC Safe Harbor rules 45 days after setting the budget. The budget account originally dedicated Treasury to establish guidelines by December 31, 2026. FEOC requirements play a role for solar projects that are looking for the ITC from January 1, 2026. Although the budget drawing was a blow to the entire solar industry, Safe Harbor provisions with which projects can still collect the ITC…
The solar facade panel and the provider of the mounting system, based in the Netherlands, has added a new terracotta roof module to its range. It also announced that it expands the sales network and stimulates production capacity after collecting € 5.5 million in financing. July 8, 2025 Valerie Thompson Solarix Solar, a PV specialist (BIPV) based in the Netherlands, has launched new Terracotta-colored solar panels that have been designed to match red tile roofs. The new product with aluminum frame measures 1,722 mm x 1.134 mm x 30 mm and has a power of 355 W. It is based…
China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (Catl), the world’s largest battery manufacturer, has brought a lawsuit that accuses fast-growing rival hithium of unfair competition-a movement that could endanger Hithium’s upcoming initial public offer (IPO) in Hong Kong. July 8, 2025 Vincent Shaw Image: Daniel_B_Photos, Pixabay By ESS News Catl started legal proceedings on 25 June at the Intermediate People’s Court of Ningde in the Chinese Fujian province, aimed at Hithium and five affiliated entities, including the founders and various suppliers, according to judicial files. The court is planned to hear the case on 12 August during the critical assessment period…
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) says that Germany could use agrivoltaic capacity up to 500 GW, based on a national assessment of all agricultural types and criteria for locations. July 8, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By PV Magazine Germany Germany could install up to 500 GW Agrivoltaic capacity on the most suitable agricultural land, according to a new study by Fraunhofer Isee much larger than its PV expansion objective for 2040. The researchers first considered all types of agricultural land and evaluated them with the help of various criteria to identify optimum locations for agrivoltaic systems. “This is the…
