China will replace its feed-in Tariff (FIT) system with a fully market-driven model for sustainable energy in June 2025, which means that wind and solar projects are moved to competitive bids and market transactions. The reform is intended to improve competition, but increases uncertainty about future returns for investors. February 12, 2025 Vincent Shaw China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) have issued a guideline to speed up market-based prices for renewable energy, including wind and solar energy. The reform will revise how energy from these sources is priced and traded, with important implications…
An international team has used an N-type polymer-additive to stabilize C60 molecules for use in reverse perovskiet PV cells. Thanks to this approach, the researchers built a solar cell with the highest efficiency value ever registered for perovskiet devices based on solutions processed C60 electron transmission layers. February 11, 2025 Emiliano Bellini An international research team has manufactured a reverse perovskiet solar cell that can achieve remarkable efficiency of power conversion thanks to an optimized Buckminsterfullere (C60) Electron transport layer (ETL). Reverse perovskiet cells have a device structure that is known as “pin”, where hole-selective contact P is at the…
An international research team has assessed the impact of soldering flux on heterojunction solar cells and has discovered that the composition of this component is the key to prevent large cracks and significant peeling. February 12, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Chinese Canadian PV modulemaker Canadian solar zon-Zon have investigated the effect of soldering flux on both top-cone and heterojunction (HJT) solar cells and have established that the choice of this component is the key to avoid possible module errors. “Our study immediately deals with a critical issue: the sensitivity of…

Credit: e-storage and UBS Asset Management “Increasing the safety and performance of Battery Energy Storage Systems (Bess) is a priority for us. The predictive analysis platform of Accure has not only streamlined our commissioning process, but also improved safety…
The future site of the 8.6 MW solar PV energy plant. Image: Shawton Energy. Renewable technology company Shawton Energy has adopted a Welsh Solar project of 8.6 MW of one planet. The nameless project, which is located in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, received a building permit last year and is now in the ready-made development phase. Shawton Energy heeft het project overgenomen van de ontwikkelaar van hernieuwbare energie One Planet, en zal de PV-energiecentrale van 14.000 panelen in de toekomst bouwen en exploiteren. “The acquisition of this ready-made assets from One Planet is an important milestone for Shawton Energy, because we…
Jinkosolar has brought a lawsuit in Texas against where Energies and his American subsidiary for the alleged infringement of one of his N-Tunneloxide-Passivated Contact (Topcon) Ooctroys, which marks a different movement in his aggressive patent defense strategy. February 12, 2025 Vincent Shaw Jinkosolar, through his subsidiaries Shanghai Jinko Green Energy Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., has the Indian Zonne company where Energies and its American subsidiary, where Solar Americas, charged in the American district court for the south of the South district of Texas, claiming infringement of his N -Type Topcon -Patent, US11.824,136B2. Where Energies,…
Origami Solar started making steel solar panel frames in the United States after the assignment of his first automated line in the facility of Priert Steel, Arkansas. This production system has been developed in collaboration with Prover Steel and Automation Partner DAC Robotics and is the only manufacturer of steel frame in the United States for solar panels. The steel frames of Origami Solar deal with the challenges with which American solar manufacturers are confronted by offering an aluminum frames produced in the interior for foreign aluminum frames, at a considerably lower cost versus domestic aluminum frames. The company says…
IEA-PVPS has conceived a new test method and analysis of the impact of curvature in vehicle-integrated photovoltaic surfaces (VIPV) surfaces. In the course of an 8-day summer study in Southeast France, the researchers discovered that the curvature caused non-uniformity to 261W/m² and 13 ° C respectively due to irradiation and temperature. February 12, 2025 Valerie Thompson A recent report from the Photovoltaic Power Systems Program (IEA-PVPPS) of the International Energy Agency has presented a new test setup for curved vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV) surfaces. The research work includes the results of an 8-day study in August 2023 in Le Bourget du…
The energy will provide current 100% of London hotels from Maybourne. Image: Low carbon. Worldwide renewable energy company Low Carbon has agreed a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a luxury hotel chain Maybourne, which drives the Maybourne hotels with 100% clean solar energy. The 15-year-old PPA that has been agreed between the two companies will see Maybourne with a low carbon supply with 32 GWH senon energy per year, which will supply 100% of London hotels of Maybourne with clean energy. The energy used to provide the hotels with power, including top luxury hotels, the Berkeley, the Connaught, the…
Two new complaints about infringing the violation of patents have been submitted in district court benches in Texas with regard to patents in the solar panels. Longi first challenged Jinkosolar on January 17 for semi -sliced cell infringement, and Jinko has submitted on 7 February against which one has submitted to Topcon. Longi has the American patent no. 9,515,214 related to “Solar Battery module and production method thereof”, which usually includes shared (half-cut) solar cells. The patent was initially assigned to Mitsubishi in 2012. Mitsubishi assigned the ‘214 patent to Longi in 2020. In the complaint of Longi’s patent fracture,…
