Solartag has developed a 71 W -Zonne tile with a weight 14.2 kg/m² and a power conversion -efficiency of 16%. The new product is based on black perc cells and is standardized for mass production according to the manufacturer. May 13, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Danish building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) Specialist Solartag has launched a new solar tile for pitched roofs. ‘The T-Dakplaat from Solartag is a fully integrated BIPV solution that is designed to fully combine traditional roof materials, aesthetics and sustainability, ”said the company’s main purchase officer, Rune Gitz-Johans, said PV -Magazine. “The Solartag design is standardized for mass production…

To tackle the variability of renewable energy for a stable supply, 22 different types of flexibility options are found in research articles of 100% renewable energy systems, categorized in power-to-x, energy storage, demand response, transmission and distribution networks and limitation. May 13, 2025 Lut University New research by Lut UniversityFinland, presents the role of flexibility options in research of highly renewable energy systems. A database of 1067 scientific articles was used for the analyzes. The publication is entitled “Rol and trends of flexibility options in 100% renewable energy system analyzes to the Power-to-X EconomyAnd published in Reviews for sustainable and…

A three-year field experiment in which the performance and reliability of Passivated Emitter and Achter Cell (Perc), Tunneloxide-Passivated Contact (Topcon) and Silicium Heterojunction (SHJ) modules in desert climates were presented that HJT modules showed the highest detrimp, while Topcon-Con-Modulatie. May 13, 2025 Lior Kahana Scientists from Qatar’s Hamad bin Khalifa University (HBKU) have carried out an extensive three-year field experiment, in which the performance and reliability of perc, top cone and HJT zonnemodules in desert climates are compared. They rated the panels indoors and outdoors to evaluate the demolition in time, performance relationships and specific energy yields over seasons. “While…

Change slightly in usable energy Every time a screen flickers to life, or nourishes a house, energy is transferred from light to something useful. But for all his omnipresence, scientists do not fully understand the process that transmits light energy through material. A subsidy from the US Department of Defense enables UC Riverside scientists to tackle that mystery. The research is intended to deepen the scientific understanding of one of the most complex interactions of physics. The four-year-old, $ 1 million subsidies finance a cooperation effort between UCR-theoretical chemist Bryan Wong and experimental chemist Yadong Yin. Together they will examine…

Australian researchers have identified five contaminants that can increase cells and modules due to humid heat-induced demolition in Topcon and heterojunction. Their analysis has shown that these contaminants can arise from incorrect treatment during cell or module processing. May 12, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have identified five different “hidden contaminants” that may be induced in solar cells and modules induced relegation (DP) design (Topcon) or heterojunction). ‘HJT and Topcon are much more sensitive to contaminants, even miniscule handling drops can destroy the efficiency buyers and increase guarantee risks, ”said the…

The International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) says that Georgia has a great potential for solar energy, with most prime sites for deployment concentrated in the east of the country, based on a recent destination assessment. May 12, 2025 Patrick Jowett A considerable part of GeorgiaThe land surface is well suited for the implementation of solar energy, with a maximum development potential of up to 87 GW, according to a new report from Irena. The “Investment options for solar and wind bowls on utilities: Assessment Georgia ZoningThe report uses destination assessment method to identify favorable areas in Georgia for future implementation…

On 2 May the Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin two accounts veto pronounced for which Virginia utilities should invest in both short and long -term energy storage, as well as together working groups and technological demonstrations to do research into such technologies. Supervisory accounts SB1394 and HB2537 At least 780 MW of the short-term storage capacity of the short duration would require long-term capacity by 2045 by 2045 for Appalachian Power, and 5,220 MW short duration and 3,480 MW long-term for Dominion Energy Virginia. In Veto messagesYoungkin emphasized his free market energy mentality and opposition against the Virginia Clean Economy Act,…

SEG Solar, a US-based PV module manufacturer, has commissioned a solar cell in Indonesia and produced its first N-type cell in the facility. May 12, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Only seven months after the construction started on the new PV Cell factory of SEG Solar on the Indonesian island of Java, the company announced the successful commissioning of the first production line of the $ 480 million factory. SEG Solar said that since then Breaking Ground During the project in September 2024, the factory completed the factory construction, production line companies and the initial production of highly…
