A research team led by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China has used Tetramethylammonium chloride in the manufacture of perovskiet solar cells and modules, which shows that it improved both stability and efficiency results. The 10 cm x 8 cm modules of the group reached a certified 21.60% power conversion -efficiency. The new interfacial modification made the use of scalable mescoating possible to deposit both transport layers and the perovskiet layer. July 9, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers led by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) have used tetramethylammonium chloride in a tin (IV) oxide-electron-transport layer-layer-lotal colloidal solution…
DSD Renewables (DSD) And General Energy Corp. have completed a 674.96-KW solar installation on the roof for Elmhurst Park District in Illinois. General Energy Corp. The system, located on the courts plus recreational facility, compensates 50% of the energy needs of the district with clean electricity. During the 20-year agreement, the district expects to save around $ 307,000. “This milestone reflects our dedication to reduce our environmental footprint while serving our community,” said Angela M. Ferrentino, director of Referendum Projectbouw for Elmhurst Park District. “This solar project represents an investment in our parks, people and planet, and was more than…
The federal solar tax credit that has helped millions of homeowners save thousands on solar installations is set to expire at the end of 2025. This means homeowners have a limited window to claim the full 30% credit before it disappears. If you’ve been considering solar energy for your home, understanding these changes and acting quickly could save you money on your investment. The current political landscape has created uncertainty around clean energy incentives, with Congress proposing to terminate the Residential Clean Energy Credit as part of budget reconciliation efforts. This creates a major shift in federal solar policy that…
By PV Magazine USA On July 4, US President Donald Trump signed HR 1 in the law. The bill, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, contains a number of provisions with regard to solar energy installations, including the cancellation of section 25D tax credits at the end of 2025 and new timelines and restrictions for tax credits under sections 45y and 48th. Experts who spoke PV Magazine USA Given details about what these provisions mean for residential sun companies and offered advice for what those companies can do to position their companies for constant success. In short,…
Shakti Pumps (India) Ltd. has raised 2.93 billion ($ 34.2 million) through a qualified placement of institutions to finance a Greenfield 2.2 GW solar cell and module production facility in Central -India.

Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory grew tomatoes under translucent solar panels, which can play a promising role in the Agrivoltaic. July 8, 2025 Rachel Metea By PV Magazine USA Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of the US Department of Energy developed a translucent solar panel to make certain light spectrums that are optimal for the growth of the crops. In the experiment, known as ‘No Photon Left Behind’, scientists tested the effectiveness of a biomatch, filtering the light spectrum that is most suitable for the physiological needs of a plant. The biomatch is designed to…
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.…
