SolarJuice Technology manufactures its new 450W and 550W solar modules in a facility at a revamped Sunergy PV solar plant in Sacramento, California.
IndianOil, L&T and ReNew to form green hydrogen development JV
IndianOil, Larsen & Toubro, and ReNew will hold an equal stake in their proposed joint venture to develop, execute and own green hydrogen assets in India. Additionally, IndianOil and Larsen & Toubro will form a JV for the production and sale of electrolyzers.
India’s solar report card for 2021
India added 10.4GW of solar power generation capacity in the January-December period of 2021. Out of this, 42% was installed in Rajasthan alone.
Trina Solar achieves 25.5% efficiency in n-type TOPCon solar cell
The result was confirmed by the National Institute of Metrology of China. It was achieved with a cell size of 210x210mm.
French consortium develops self-cleaning solar module coating
French chemical company Axcentive and solar module manufacturer Photowatt have developed a PV panel coating based on photoactive nanotechnology. The coating relies on a super-hydrophilic surface that makes the water spread out on the module surface immediately, thus avoiding light scattering effects upon rain.
Fire incidents highlight ‘burning’ issues in India’s EV ecosystem
Although we may have just about commenced our run in the electric vehicle (EV) race, it is critical that we jump-start the pace of adoption by enhancing the overall perception of EVs from a safety and longevity standpoint.
Designs for solar+storage+hydrogen systems in buildings
German scientists have tried to determine whether a PV system linked to a small electrolyzer, a fuel cell, and lithium-ion batteries could fully power a grid-connected household. Their new proposal consists of a 6.8kW PV array, a 5kW electrolyzer, a 1.24kW fuel cell system, and battery storage.
IntriEnergy secures solar patent in India
The USA-headquartered clean technology company has been granted a patent for its PV cell technology platform that can increase the energy output of solar panels by up to 60% without increasing the panel size.
Hungarian start-up launches solar tile with output of 167W per m²
Developed by Hungarian manufacturer Terràn, the Generon solar tile is based on concrete support and weighs is in at 5.7kg.
Distributed solar developers want ongoing open-access and net metering projects excluded from ALMM mandate
Over 4GW of open access and rooftop solar projects under various stages of development can get stuck due to the ALMM requirement, according to Distributed Solar Power Association (DiSPA).
