N-Inkt, a spin-off from the Linköping University, has developed conductive inks that can be used in the cargo-sextraht layer of organic solar cells and in transport layers of perovskite solar cells. February 11, 2025 Valerie Thompson Swedish Startup N-Inkt has launched N-type conductive ink that can be used in the load-extracting layer of organic solar cells (OPT), as well as in transport layers of perovskite solar cells. The company offers three formulations of its ink, of which it notes, has a high electrical conductivity, from 0.01 s/cm to 3000 s/cm and thermal stability. It is said that it can be…
SolarPanelRecycling.com (SPR) announced it will work with national trade association Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) on a drop-off program for end-of-life residential solar panels in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The area, home to an SPR recycling facility, is the second-largest county in North Carolina and includes the Charlotte-metro-area. This pilot program will act as a blueprint for expanding the program nationally to make solar panel recycling accessible to all residential solar owners. After fielding a high volume of inbound calls from residents wanting to divert their solar panels from landfills, SEIA sought out SPR, one of its approved national PV recyclers,…
Two companies trying to set up Gigawatt scale Lithium battery factories have canceled their plans for American production. Kore Power confirmed to Local news that it left his 12-GWH factory plan in Buckeye, Arizona and Freyr unveiled It would sell his ESS production site in Georgia. Kore Power first announced his production plans in Arizona in 2021. The goal was to hire 3,000 people at the 1 million FT2 Site to make both NMC and LFP battery cells for the EV and ESS markets. The company has our intellectual property but makes its batteries through a Chinese contract manufacturer. After…
Developed by a research team, including experts from the Australian specialist Clearvue, the new PV windows could also reduce water consumption in a greenhouse by 29%. The group is of the opinion that a fully glazed solar greenhouse up to 100% of energy consumption at worldwide locations could compensate with the help of adaptable and efficient temperature control techniques. February 11, 2025 Lior Kahana Researchers from Murdoch University and Clearvue Technologies from Australia have developed new solar windows that are said to reduce energy consumption and water consumption in greenhouses. To test the proposed innovation, they designed and built a…
Faster than expected prize is falling and the global oversupply of batteries will compete this year against an increasing tide of global protectionism. So how will it all be for the energy storage industry? Storage industry Temining leader and UN advisor Marek Kubik regards the most important problems. February 11, 2025 Marek Kubil By ESS News We get used to record years for energy storage and 2024 was no exception. Manufacturer Tesla has used 31.4 GWH, an increase of 213% compared to 2023, and market information provider Bloomberg New Energy Finance increased his prediction twice, ending the year with the…
Hard to keep segments in the energy transition, such as the chemical industry and marine transport, require in large quantities of electricity-based e-methanol. The transport costs can be a key factor in determining the best locations for future green e-methanol projects. February 11, 2025 Lut University As the world reduces the efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, intensify and renew renewable energy, the industry and long -distance transport are examined. Green e-methanol appears as a promising alternative fuel and chemical, especially for long-distance shipping and the chemical industry. Although raw materials and production costs often dominate discussions, an important factor…
