Two Dutch manufacturers have collaborated with TNO’s Perovskite Solar Cell experts to integrate spatial atomic layer deposit equipment to produce ultra-thin, high-quality nickel-oxide layers in a roll-to-roll process. The team focuses on the production integration in mid-2027, with full production by 2030. March 13, 2025 Valerie Thompson Two Dutch manufacturers work together with Perovskite Solar Cell experts from the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) to integrate spatial atomic layout (ALD) into a roll-to-roll process. They will use the deposition process to manufacture ultra-thin, high-quality nickel oxide (NIOX) hole drain layers (HTLs). “The project is intended to develop a…
Fuji Electric said that the new heat pump system is currently in the first phase of prototyping, whereby commercial launch is planned for 2026. It is conceived for recycling heat energy from waste water in industrial facilities. March 13, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Japanese electrical equipment company Fuji Electric is currently developing a new type of steam-generating heat pump that recycles heat energy from waste water generated in factories and industrial facilities. Steam generating heat pumps are often used as an alternative to low -pressure steam boilers in heating processes. Although boilers are usually far from these processes, heat pumps can…
The report shows that 37% of farmers believe that extra income from solar energy will protect their farm for future generations. Image: Pexels. A new report from Solar Energy UK has shown that British farmers successfully diversify their land use by installing solar PV on their country to increase their income. The ‘Sustainability Report’ of Farming collected 271 answers from farmers, landowners and tenants farmers from the United Kingdom to explore their opinion on solar energy. Due to geopolitical tensions, inflation and the increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions, 31% of the respondents said that their production was below average…
Electricity that is generated by water that moves over a surface can be 10 times more powerful than previously thought, according to Australian researchers who say that their finding could stimulate energy storage and loading percentages and improve safety in fuel ownership systems. March 12, 2025 David Carroll By PV Magazine Australia Researchers of RMIT University and the University of Melbourne have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times larger than previously understood when it moves over a surface. The academics noted that when a water drop got stuck on a small bump or rough place,…
Fraunhofer ISE researchers, in addition to partners of institutes in Stuttgart and Hameln, will follow the performance of a maximum of nine PVT systems in apartment buildings, companies, offices and industrial buildings for several years as part of a project that builds the case for a broader implementation of technology. March 12, 2025 Patrick Jowett Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer Isee) of Germany are working on a project that promotes the use of photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors and heat pumps in the construction sector. The Integrate-XL project is a collaboration between Fraunhofer Isee And its partners…
The DC Sustainable Energy Utility (Dcseu), In collaboration with the Department of Energy and Environment (Date) district, six local solar developers and contractors have selected to support 150 solar installations on single-family homes for income-qualified residents in 2025. This investment builds on the work of DCSEU on the solar energy of the district for all the program that 668 households with low to moderate income in DC offered in DC with the benefits of the roof of solar energy without costs since 2019. In combination with all programs for all programs in the Deete. Savings. Following a competitive request for…
The equipment with a processing speed of up to 10,800 PCs/h can be used to upgrade the existing Super Multi-Busbar (SMBB) and Multi-Busbar (MBB) equipment made by the China-based Wuxi Autowell Technology (ATW). It is suitable for tunneloxide-passivated contact (Topcon), Heterojunction (HJT) and Back-contact (BC) Celt technologies. March 12, 2025 Valerie Thompson The China-based manufacturer of solar PV equipment, Wuxi Autowell Technology (ATW), has launched a bus barless or zero-busbar (0BB), Stringer that is suitable for new and existing customers. It is designed to te Legacy ATW Super Multi-Busbar (SMBB) and Multi-Busbar (MBB) production lines afterwards afterwards. Indeed, the newest…
Dutch start-up develops sodium-ion battery technology for solar colocation March 12, 2025 Mariha Maisch By ESS News Moonwatt, based in Amsterdam, is set to a mission to develop sodium battery technology that is optimized for colocation with solar energy plants on utility scale, because the storage tries to make more scalable, more cost-competive and sustainable. “We believe it is time to build the first” energy “made by energy professionals for energy customers, starting with an empty sheet of paper instead of re-using the inheritance of the EV sector,” says Valentin Rota, co-founder and CCO in Moonwatt, says ESS News. Moonwatt…
A longitudinal research project of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee reveals that since 2017 the institute has measured less power on average in a solar module than promised by the manufacturer. March 12, 2025 Patrick Jowett Research by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems Isee (Fraunhofer Isee) has found a negative trend that between performance data of PV module manufacturers and the performance measurement of the Institute of the module since 2017. Since 2012, the team has tested more than 70,000 solar modules in the calibration laboratory and analyzes 1,034 of the collected performance measurements from…
Sec. Lee rarer. Credit: Gage Skidmore The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under SEC. Lee Zeldin has unveiled countless actions this week to reverse the climate-related efforts of the Biden administration. On March 11, the EPA announced that it is The termination of $ 20 billion in subsidy financing Under the National Clean Investment Fund and Clean Communities Investment Accelerator of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. The $ 7 billion solar energy for all subsidy program is also financed by the GGRF, but is not mentioned in this release. On March 12, the agency said that it will end the environmental…
