A single molecule increases the exit and stability of the solar module A new molecule developed by international cooperation has been shown that it significantly improves both the performance and the sustainability of Perovskiet solar cells, according to a recent study published in *Science *. The discovery focuses on a synthetic ionic salt called CPMAC, which comes from Buckminsterfullerene (C60) and has been shown to surpass the traditional C60 in solar applications. Researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) played a key role in the development of CPMAC. Although C60 has long been used in perovskite…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that South Brazil and the Northern Andes were radiation hot spots in March and placed anomalies as high as 30% above the climatic average. The increase came despite intense rainfall that caused floods in other parts of South America. April 25, 2025 Dissolved March in South America supplied well above the average irradiation for solar producers in the solar-tight southeastern states in Brazil. The majority of Brazil, in addition to North -South America, benefited from increased radiation, despite persistent convective rain systems that dump above the average rainfall…
An international research team has created a new model that finds the best tilt corner for bifacial PV plants in the south throughout Europe. The scientists also considered the Alpine area to investigate the impact of Bergen on optimum tilting corners. April 23, 2025 Lior Kahana A team of researchers from France and Italy has developed a tool for optimizing tilting angles in bifacial PV energy plants throughout Europe. They have made the tool available for free on one Web -based platformSaying that it could be very valuable for local authorities, developers and decision makers when assessing the feasibility of…
China’s Catl launches new EV -Natrium battery The Chinese battery giant Catl has launched a new sodium ion battery on Monday that will restructure according to the electric car industry, and a new system to combine two battery technologies in one car. The company produces more than a third of all worldwide batteries of electric vehicles (EV) and works with major brands, including Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volkswagen. Sodium batteries are seen as a cheaper and in some respects safer alternative to the lithium ion batteries used on a large scale in both electronics and electric vehicles, but form a…
Martin Schachinger, founder of PVXCHANGE.COM, says that the European PV market was not affected by the disruptive effects of the new tariff policy of the Trump administration. April 23, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com The prices of solar module in Europe rose slightly in April, but this only reflects a trend that is already expected and announced at the start of the year. The price increase is particularly noticeable for highly efficient modules with different afterwards, because there are hardly any offers left in the lower food classes. These products have largely disappeared from the warehouses of wholesalers because of the…
Ned Lamont government has announced that seven solar energy systems have been installed and are now active on six of the Correction Facilities of Connecticut in a series of projects that will generate millions in cost savings and at the same time provide clean, renewable energy to the facilities. Because correction facilities work non-stop 365 days a year, they are among the largest consumers of energy from all state-owned companies. “Installing solar energy systems at Correctional Facilities is a way in which we can deliver cost savings in the activities of the state government, while also reducing our CO2 footprint,”…
This week, women in Solar Europe (Wisu) give a voice to Canan Koç Yasar, VP HSSE-S at the German Uniper-Renewable energy sources. She says that policy and practices that shape the safety, health and security in the workplace, usually intended to meet the needs of men and emphasizes the importance of designing workplace systems that reflect the reality of everyone in the team. April 25, 2025 Women in Solar Europe (Wisu) On the occasion of the World Day for Health and Safety at work, it is essential to not only think about compliance, but also whether our workplaces really serve…
