Federal promotions loomed this month great for the solar industry, for better or worse. Treasury Post Final rules for new technology-neutral tax credits for clean energyWashington, DC The Treasury department has released the final rules for the new 48th Clean Electricity Investment Credit. The previously solar and wind-specific credits now include hydropower, geothermal and other zero mission technologies. Treasury provides definitive rules for IRA bonus credit with low incomesWashington, DC Treasury published final rules for the IRA Bonus Credit program with low incomes that contain an extensive list of qualification technologies as defined by the legal transition to the 48th…

The Solex Energy from India says it has commissioned a production line of 800 MW solar module for N-type, rectangular cell tunneloxide-passivated contact (Topcon) modules ranging from 585 W to 625 W. February 4, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India India’s Solex Energy has announced the commissioning of a production line of 800 MW solar module. The new line is tailored to the mass production of N-type, rectangular cell tapi-r series modules ranging from 585 W to 625 W. Solex Energy, based in Gujarat, said the line works 30% faster than other production lines in India, which ensures greater…

Improving sustainability and efficiency in tin -based perovskiet solar cells Tin-based perovskiet solar cells are praised as a promising alternative to the next generation solutions for solar energy because of their high efficiency, flexibility and potential for cheap prints. The replacement of lead by Tin to prevent environmental problems that are linked to leading toxicity, however, forms its own challenges. Tin tend to oxidize quickly results in reduced performance and sustainability compared to leaders based on lead. Researchers have developed a method to improve the stability of tin -based perovskiet by including large organic cations in the perovskiet structure. This…

An international team of industry and researchers develops technology and methods to improve industry’s ability to recycle dismantled solar panels, avoid waste and focus on recovery of silicon, silver, glass and polymers with a purity that is sufficient for further Use in the PV industry or afterwards. February 3, 2025 Valerie Thompson A European Consortium, coordinated by the Norway -based research agency Sintef, is intended to reach a recycling speed of 70 to 90% for important materials for the end of life (EOL), including silicon, metals, glass and polymer recovery at high purity levels. The multi -year Horizon Europe Research…

It has been suggested that Solar PV to reach the net goals of the UK would take up 0.29% of the available land (and 0.51% of all available agricultural land). Image: Pexels. The British government has opened consultations on a framework for land use, which makes it less likely that “high -quality agricultural land” has been lost due to renewable energy projects. The Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) opened consultations on the framework on January 31, which states that the framework will not “tell people what to do with their fields or replace the planning system”, but…

Castillo Engineering was selected by Montante Solar To offer design and engineering services on two of Calibrant energy’s District of Community projects in Niagara, New York, a total of 13 MW. Currently under construction, the Ballast projects, fixed tilting technology use and it is expected that the completion will be achieved in the first quarter of 2025. Credit: Castillo Engineering “We are grateful that we have entered into a partnership with Castillo Engineering with this challenging Solar project of deposit in New York,” said Steve Erck, VP at Montante Solar. “Their width of expertise – from civil to electric to…

More than 100 companies from eight different countries exhibited on Insolution 2025, the largest grant for solar energy for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. February 3, 2025 Patrick Jowett The 13th edition of Insolution, held on Gent’s Flanders Expo, took place on January 29 and 30. A total of 110 companies from Austria, Belgium, China, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Switzerland showed their innovations in a series of sun -related applications, from solar panels, modules and inverters to batteries, heat pumps and loading pumps and supervision and monitoring systems. Were among them Belga SolarThe only manufacturer of the solar…

New research from Sweden has shown that building global super councils on different continents could not necessarily lead to increased investments in solar energy. The scientists outlined the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOOWOG) concept, which argues for the development of a worldwide super roster for 18 time zones. February 3, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have investigated how a worldwide Power Grid About America, Europe, the Mena region, South -Asia, Southeast -Asia and Oceania can Effective the integration of solar energy and shipping clean energy worldwide at all times. ‘The Green…
