Indian solar manufacturers explore hybrid solutions such as BC-Topcon to bridge tunneloxide-passivated contact (Topcon) and Back-contact (BC) technologies, aimed at optimizing efficiency while the existing infrastructure is used. May 21, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine USA India’s industry is about to have an important technological transformation. While Topcon technology dominates the domestic landscape, the global modulemarkt shifts back to contact sunmodules-the next border in efficiency. A recent MERCOM report projects TOPcon to explain more than 58% of the annual production capacity of the solar module of India and more than 64% of the production capacity of the cell by…
The company established in the UK said that the new hybrid solution includes a stand-alone monobloc air-water heat pump with a nominal capacity of a maximum of 16 kW and one of the boiler range. The heat pump system uses R32 (Difluoromethane) as a coolant and has a performance coefficient of up to 5.1. May 21, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The Heating Specialist Alpha, a unit of Italian Group Immergas, has launched a new residential heating solution that combines a heat pump and a boiler. “The Alpha Custom Hybrid is a fully customized solution that is suitable for all types of…
Monash University engineers have a water-based water-based battery that is suitable for use in residential use and in real-time compatible with roof solar energy. May 21, 2025 EV Foley By PV Magazine Australia Researchers from the Monash University Department of Materials and Science and Engineering have developed a water -based battery that may offer compact, powerful battery systems for residential use. Usually used in Large -scale energy storage Due to their size and slow charge speeds, the current battery study has solved the speed problem, making it ideal for households.

Simple method increases the sustainability of perovskite solar cells in real-world settings A research team of the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Sao Paulo has developed a new method to reduce the demolition of Perovskiet solar cells, which may be cleared by a path to their wider commercial adoption. The study immediately deals with one of the most important barriers for the use of Real-World: the rapid loss of performance with which these cells are confronted when they are exposed to the environment and temperatures. Perovskiet solar cells rival silicon in efficiency and are cheaper to produce. They are…

The Aachen-based company has further developed its Energy Management System (EMS) under Real-World conditions to minimize the cyclical aging of its batteries. May 21, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt With new control algorithms, Voltfang says that cyclical aging has considerably minimized Image: Voltfang By ESS News The German manufacturer Voltfang, who specializes in energy storage on a commercial scale, has expanded the warranty conditions for its storage systems for battery energy. The company based in Aachen said on Tuesday that an earlier cargo cycle limit that is specified in the 10 -year warranty no longer applies. Voltfang said that the improved warranty…
During his agenda meeting of 21 May, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved updates approved for the modernization rules of the network that is intended to reduce delays in the interconnection process of the distribution tripper to accelerate the time line for projects that come online. The more streamlined process for interconnection applications of distribution grid includes: more frequent updates for hosting capacity cards; a dispute settlement process; a pre-application and verification process to give applicants an early indication of the feasibility and costs of the project; And a requirement for tools to have a web portal…

Solar Media Market Research Analyst Josh Cornes follows the time that Solar PV developments spend in the planning system, because delays and refusal to delay the Build speed speed. Solar PV Buildout In the United Kingdom, the seventh year of growth in a row continues to pick up, with growth rowing a year. With initiatives led by the government such as Clean Power 2030 (CP30) Buildout and encouraging the contracts for difference (CFD) mechanism, it is unlikely that this growth will slow down. However, there are several factors in the game to hinder this growth, so that the opportunities of…
The prices of PV module remain largely flat, despite a slight increases for very efficient products, because slow delivery still has to indicate a clear trend, says Martin Schachinger, founder of PVXCHANGE.COM. May 21, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com By PV Magazine Germany The recovery of the module prices, which followed a sharp fall in the second half of last year, seems to have stalled. Not much has changed in recent weeks. Some wholesalers have somewhat increased prices for highly efficient modules-a indication of continuous supply restrictions but the increases remain too small to suggest a clear trend. Most brands continue…
