German scientists are of the opinion that the power generation for future habitats on the moon can be achieved by producing the production of Halide PeraiKiet cells locally, using Regolith-based Moonglass. April 4, 2025 EV Foley German scientists have presented the power generation for future habitats on the moon, can be reached by producing halogenide perovskiet cells locally, using Regolith-based Moonglass. In the newspaper “Moon Photovoltaïschens using Lunar Regolith and Halide Perovskites’It was published on DeviceThey explained that the proposed production solution could save 99% of the material transport weight and therefore costs. The University of Potsdam Institute of Physics…

Utility scale Zonne-Zon was good for about half of the new solar energy in Hungary last year, but with no new connecting permits for large-scale projects in the past two years, it is predicted that this market segment will delay in the coming years. April 4, 2025 Patrick Jowett Hungary According to the figures of the Hungarian photovoltaic industrial association (Manap) in 2024 deployed in 2024. The result is somewhat lower than the 2023 record year for the implementation of solar energy in Hungary, when over 1.6 GW was added and absorbs the cumulative capacity of the country to more…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. April 4, 2025 Opis The Global Polysilicon Marker (GPM), the OPIS -Benchmark for Polysilicon produced outside China, was assessed this week at $ 20,260/kg, or $ 0.046/w. The global polysilicon market remains stable, without significant changes in buying and selling dynamics. The average operational percentage of global polysilicon production is around 60%, with a total monthly output of around 6000 MT, according to market sources. However, the turnover is mainly driven by three to…

By PV -Magazine 03/25 The hydrogen economy is complex. With photovoltaisies that are largely devoted to the direct on electricity networks, solar energy-driven hydrogen is generally planned in remote areas with excessive renewable energy. Further steps of the hype requires concept where hydrogen is essential for the energy transition. Government hydrogen strategies often identify green hydrogen as crucial for carbonated shipping, aviation, some long-term road transport, ammonia and steel production and other industrial processes. China also regards hydrogen as essential for long -term energy storage (LDES). Hydrogen hyperbole The last six years has brought what the European Hydrogen Association H2UB…
