A Swiss research team has developed a new glowing process with one step for the passivating contact cells of tunneloxide-passivation sun cells. By demonstrating the approach, the scientists built a proof-of-concept Topcon device with an efficiency of 21%. July 2, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Entronique et de MicroTechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a new single-step thermal glow process for tunneloxide-passioning contact (Topcon) solar cells. The new process is intended to simplify the glowing process, which is currently implemented by the PV industry via a two-step technique and to reduce the…

The European Commission has launched the hydrogen mechanism to support the matching supply and demand based on its energy and raw material platform, while the US Senate has advanced a budget law to extend the deadline for 45V tax credits for hydrogen production until the end of 2027. July 3, 2025 Sergio Matalucci The European Commission has launched the hydrogen mechanism, the first such program under the EU energy and raw material platform that is in operation. The hydrogen mechanism enables stakeholders to register for the first round of corresponding supply and demandwhat is planned before September 2025. “The hydrogen…

Deye has developed a new power conversion system (PCS) for solar integration, with modules ranging from 100 kW to 125 kW. The Chinese manufacturer says that the PCs supports flexible system design and focuses on commercial and industrial (C&I) applications. July 3, 2025 Lior Kahana The PCs + BOS-B Image: Deye China’s Deye has launched a new PC that is integrated with an energy storage system for C&I applications. The PCS + BOS-B system is optimized for solar integration. Deye said that the system supports up to 200 kW of solar modules via eight maximum power point tracking (MPPT) channels,…

Michael Shanks MP answers questions at the Clean Power 2030 tops. Image: Solar Media. “We have been paying the price for our exposure to gas for far too long, and we have to do what we can do to remove that volatility, and this sprint at our own power is part of that,” said Michael Shanks MP, parliamentary under-secretary of State, State for Energy, who has organized the Solar Media, organized by Solar Media. Many of Sank’s comments were aimed at the financial robustness of the British solar industry. Since solar energy is one of the leaders in falling level…

A review by the Sun Day campaign of Data is released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) It appears that the combination of solar and wind was good for almost 96% of the new American electric-generating capacity that was added in the first third of 2025. In April, Solar offered 87% of the new capacity, making it the twentieth consecutive month in which Solar took the lead. Solar was 87% of the new generating capacity in April and 78% years to date: In the last monthly report “Energie -Infrastructure Update” (with data up to and including 30 April 2025),…

Michigan Republicans try to bring community kisses to the state with the help of a Bill acronym approved by Trump. Michigan Conservatives introduce Maga Solar BillLansing, Michigan A new bill for the Republicans in Michigan would set up a community assignment program in the State for the first time, with the help of a name that is attractive to the farthest rights of the party. The “Maximization of American Grid Affordability (MAGA) Solar Act” is “a policy that is designed to strengthen the reliability of the network, the energy bills and to protect American energy provision chains from foreign opponents…

Researchers in Italy tackle two metalhale-lide perovskiet solar PV challenges, reduce the use of lead and extend the stability of power conversion efficiency, in a new combination of micracular concentrators and picosecond laser operation. July 3, 2025 Valerie Thompson Researchers from the University of Genoa and the University of Rome Tor Vergata take two well-known metalhale-lide perovskiet (MHP) Solar PV challenges, reducing the amount of lead to maintain a high-level conversion efficiency. By introducing micro concentrators, an alternative strategy for light management and techniques for laser pattern, the research team is said to see positive results in devices with a…

AGência Nacional De Energia Elétrica (Aneel), the electricity regulator of Brazil, will publish initial regulations for energy storage in the second half of 2025, with two additional consultation phases that are concluded by 2028, according to rapporteur Daniel Danna. July 3, 2025 Lívia Neves By ESS News Aneel director Daniel Danna has told the Brazilian representatives of the representatives that the regulator will publish initial energy storage rules in the second half of 2025. The first standards will tackle rasters, network use and storage allowance, including income stacking. “The cycle in which we find ourselves is now involved in the…

Scientists in Switzerland have carried out a techno-economic analysis of the production costs of the Perovskite solar module in terms of level of energy costs and have shown that these products could be competitive in the Alpenland, provided that they achieve a efficiency of more than 24% with a lifespan of 30 years with a life of 30 years. July 3, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A group of scientists from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a bottom-up techno-economic model to assess the production costs and feasibility of the Perovskiet zone module. The modeling is based on existing…

The Genius Tracker TF supports Slops up to 1.7 degrees between messages, reducing the costs of land degrees. July 3, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA Gamechange Solar, a supplier based in the US Van Solar Tracker and Fixed-Tilt Racking Systems, announced an update of his Genius Tracker Line or Solar Tracker Systems that makes what the company says is a greater adaptability to sloping soil. The Genius Tracker TF supports slopes up to 1.7 degrees between messages. Gamechange reports that this is able to install solar players with less land design, reduce the costs for flattening land and…
