Martin Schachinger, founder of pvXchange.com, says the 8% price drop in November for solar modules could mark the end of sustained declines, as market signals are pointing to a possible recovery.
The Global Solar Council is celebrating the historic achievement of reaching 2 TW of global installed PV capacity.
Using atomic layer deposition, a research team from the City University of Hong Kong has created an an oxygen-deficient tin oxide layer to replace the more common fullerene electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells. The result is a 25%-efficient device that is able to retain around 95% of its efficiency after 2,000 h.
The city of Cape Town, South Africa, has started building a 7 MW solar plant that it will own and operate. It has also launched a tender for a 5 MW/8 MWh battery energy storage system to be built at the same site.
A new report rom Fraunhofer ISE shows that the cost of PV systems in Germany is currently between €700/kW and €2,000/kW. The study also shows that the levelized cost of energy of solar-plus-storage spans from €0.06/kWh to €0.225/kWh.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has submitted a draft industry standard to help companies comply with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) traceability requirements for imports of solar components.
BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) latest quarterly report on solar PV projects forecasts that the world will add nearly 600GW of new capacity in 2024.
Conceived by Chinese scientists, the cell was built with new surface reconstruction strategy based on the use of 1,4-butanediamine (BDA) and ethylenediammonium diiodide (EDAI2) as surface modifiers. The device was able to retain 79.7% of its initial efficiency after 550 h.
Analyst firm BloombergNEF has cautioned that Australia requires around AU$2.4 trillion (US$1.6 trillion) investment to reach net zero.
The Danish authorities have reopened a subsidy pool to promote exports of Danish energy technologies.
