DMEGC Solar says its new solar panels combine a double-glazed design with half-cut n-type cell technology. It says efficiency ratings range from 22.0% to 23.0%. June 19, 2024 Lior KahanaDMEGC, a Chinese industrial group that makes PV modules, has launched a new bifacial monocrystalline solar panel based on n-type rectangular wafers at the Intersolar fair in Munich, Germany.“The Infinity RT modules use highly efficient, large rectangular cells,” a company spokesperson said pv magazine. “Higher power can significantly reduce the system balance of system costs (BOS) such as brackets and cables, thereby reducing levelized energy costs (LCOE). The load-bearing capacity of…
GameChange Solar, a global provider of solar tracking solutions for ground-mounted PV installations, is providing its Genius Tracker single-axis tracker for a project in a high-wind area of Florida. This project will be designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 250 km/h. GameChange Solar worked with wind engineering firm CPP to address the challenges of aeroelastic stability and wind pressure. The system underwent rigorous wind tunnel testing to ensure the stability of the trackers in extreme wind speeds, aiming for a record speed of 260 km/h. A GameChange representative did not reveal the project developer or location, but said…

The electrical power of the module with M6 cells of 6 cm x 10 cm is 433 W. June 19, 2024 Patrick JowettGermany’s Sunmaxx PVT, a specialist in photovoltaic and solar thermal modules, and perovskite solar company Oxford PV have announced the launch of ‘Solar Hammer’, a photovoltaic solar thermal module.The companies say their partnership marks the first use of perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells in a photovoltaic thermal module. “Sunmaxx PVT modules…
The partnership will help customers unlock cheaper energy bills. Image: Tesla. Energy supplier Octopus Energy has partnered with battery giant Tesla to integrate its Powerwall technology into the Kraken platform, enabling the optimization of solar PV technology. According to Octopus Energy, Powerwall customers can maximize their revenue by drawing cheap, clean energy from the grid when it is most abundant and then charging it onto the grid at peak times. This is fully automated using Octopus’ own platform Kraken. Tesla’s Powerwall is a battery that stores energy, detects faults and automatically becomes your home’s energy source if the electricity grid…
The Chinese back-contact module manufacturer said its new products rely on the company’s all-back-contact (ABC) cell technology and have a temperature coefficient of -0.26% per C.

Chinese Prime Minister Li focuses on clean energy during his visit to Australia Prime Minister Li Qiang visited a Chinese-controlled lithium refinery in Perth on Tuesday, a sign of his country’s huge appetite for Australia’s “critical minerals” needed for clean energy technologies. Li concluded his four-day visit to Australia with a tour of resource-rich Western Australia’s low-carbon energy industry. His first stop was Tianqi Lithium Energy Australia, a 51 percent Chinese-owned venture consisting of a hard rock lithium ore mine and a lithium refinery. Along with at least a dozen other officials, China’s second most powerful man wore a white…
