The adjustable, compact leaf coater supports coat racing from 1.2 mm/sec to 33 mm/sec. April 11, 2025 Valerie Thompson InfinityPV, a Danish supplier of printed electronics equipment, has launched a final-DIE coater to offer thin-film PV researchers with a compact, configurable plate coater that is suitable for organic and inorganic solar cell technologies. “Our final DIE coater provides exceptional coating uniformity for films on nanometer-to-micrometer scale, which offers a wide range of liquid formulations. It is aimed at researchers who strive for precision and reproducibility,” J, “JOn Carlé, the head of the sale at InfinityPV, said PV Magazine. The equipment…

Solyco is developing a new technology for low temperatures for the mutual connection of solar cells. It consists of a round copper core with a diameter of 280 μm that is covered with a very thin layer of silver for corrosion protection and then surrounded by a 40 μm coating of an electrically conductive thermoplast. April 11, 2025 Emiliano Bellini The German Startup Solyco has presented a new interconnection technique for the low temperature that does not require the use of silver, lead or bismut. The proposed technology is called thermoplastic and electrically conductive coating (TECC connect), consists of a…

Every day across America, water treatment facilities process billions of gallons of wastewater. A single mid-sized facility handles over 12 million gallons daily, with an annual power bill reaching into the millions. But these facilities share something beyond their essential service – large, unused spaces perfectly positioned to capture sunlight. The challenge of managing waste while keeping costs down affects every community. Waste treatment facilities rank among the largest energy consumers in municipal operations, often using more electricity than schools and libraries combined. For facility managers watching their budgets shrink while energy costs climb, it feels like trying to fill…

Vesper Energy organized a ribbon cutting ceremony on 10 April 2025 to the commercial operation of its flagship energy project, Hornet Solar, which is now fully operational. The event marks an important milestone, not only for Vesper Energy, but also for Texas as a national leader in the production of solar energy. Hornet Solar includes more than 1.36 million modules and includes more than six square mile in Swisher County, Texas, making it one of the largest solar installations in the country. The project will contribute more than $ 100 million to new tax revenues to Swisher County and 600…

Congressman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) has the Termination intermittent law on energy subsidiesLegislation to abolish the production and investment tax credits for wind and solar energy in a responsible manner in the next five years. The legislation is supervised by energy and commerce republicans Gary Palmer (R-Al), Randy Weber (R-TX) and Craig Goldman (R-TX). “Wind and solar energy are no longer rising technologies, they are adult, market-related and widely used,” Fedorchak said. “By continuing to stimulate these intermittent energy sources through generous tax credits, we distort energy markets and we send the absolute wrong signal to investors. Like all grid operators…

The prices of Polysilicon and Solar Module from China remained stable this week in the midst of low trade volumes, but soothed producer quotes and rising output on the supply chain edited mounting oversurin risks. April 11, 2025 Vincent Shaw The China Non -Ferrous Metal Industry Association The prices of China remained stable this week in limited trade, but the softening of quotations from large producers probably fell that she is falling. Mainstream spot prices varied from CNY 40 ($ 5.47)/kg to CNY 42/kg, while inland grainy silicon sold for CNY 37/kg to CNY 39/kg. The production of April is…

The Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe (IDBZ) has started accepting bids for a Turnkey Engineering, Purchasing, Construction, Financing and Operations and Maintenance (EPC+F+OM) contractor for a 5 MW solar project. April 11, 2025 Brian Publicover Idbz, the Zimbabwe development bench, cooperates with the Gutu Rural District Council (GRDC) to select a Turnkey EPC+F+to select to help develop a 5 MW solar project in the province of Masvingo. The relocation follows an announcement in March by the IDBZ for a tender for solar energy that an EPC contractor searches to develop, finance and exploit the 5 MW solar project in Gutu…

EDF Renewables UK invited the local community and beneficiaries of the fund for the celebration of the Sutton Bridge Ground-Mount PV project. Image: EDF Renewables UK The first PV energy plant from EDF’s first utility scale on solar energy in the UK began to generate electricity last year, which activated a £ 20,000 a year of community benefit fund. EDF Renewables UK, the subsidiary of Clean Energy of the French Nut, announced yesterday (April 10) that the 49.9 MW Sutton Bridge Solar Farm in Lincolnshire went into commercial operation. While the first electricity began to be generated by the factory,…
