An international research team has developed a metallization technique for topcon sun cells that are reportedly reduced silver use in the back of the devices by 85%. The scientists replace the generally used AG fingers with intermittent AG stripes for contact formation and AG-free fingers and bus bars for electrical conduction. May 8, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia and the Chinese metallization pasta specialist Changzhou Fusion new materials claim to have developed a silver-lan screen printing metallization technology that can significantly reduce the silver (AG) consumption in topcon sun cells without…

The British Ministry of Energy Security and Net Zero (Desnz) has launched a call for evidence to increase the number of solar energy-driven carports in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The likely result of this will be a mandate that parking garages have a PV installation on solar energy, as has been the case for some time. Reimbursing solar energy on parking garages has several advantages that Desnz wants to emphasize. It says that…
Castillo Engineering has invested in software designed to tackle a lack of qualified engineers in the solar industry and to maintain accurate communication with customers.

PMO (Project Management Office) 360 was devised to increase project transparency with customers, to reveal information such as engineering plans, timelines, staff and array components in real…
The construction industry consumes 36% of global energy and is responsible for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions worldwide, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. With pressure to reduce environmental impact and rising energy costs affecting profit margins, construction companies are actively seeking innovative solutions to address these challenges while maintaining productivity and operational efficiency. Enter solar-powered construction tools – a development that’s transforming how construction professionals approach their daily operations. These tools harness the energy of the sun to power everything from handheld drills and saws to larger equipment like concrete mixers and generators. By converting sunlight…
The Senate in South Carolina was successful on 7 May HB 3309 After a rushed process in the house that took away important consumer protection, weakened energy efficiency provisions, and a provision removed for which data centers had to pay their fair share for energy consumption. With a few days left in the legislative session, the Senate was put under pressure to pass on a version that exposes South Carolinians to higher costs and reduced supervision. The final version of HB 3309 contains provisions with which utilities can bypass complete interest rate values and increase the customer rates annually with…
