Photovoltaics for atmospheric water harvesting

A scientist in Turkey has simulated eight PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting systems and compared their performances. They were all considered to operate with R1233zd(E), R1234yf, and R600a, as well as R32 refrigerants. The required PV system size was as low as 20 m2.

Risen Energy hits 740 W average for mass-produced HJT solar module

Risen Energy says it has achieved an average power output of 740 W for its mass-produced heterojunction (HJT) solar module, with certified cell efficiency of 26.61% and module efficiency of 24.81%, according to China’s Fujian Metrology Institute. Encapsulation losses were limited to 1.8%.

The impact of module pricing on solar project viability: Trends and predictions

India’s solar sector faces rising module costs due to recent developments, including the imposition of anti-dumping duties on solar glass and China’s reduction in export rebates on solar modules, impacting project viability. These shifts underline the delicate balance between promoting local manufacturing, pursuing geopolitical strategies, and navigating the economic realities of global trade.

Hindustan Zinc’s silver segment set to drive profit growth on robust PV-led demand: YES Securities

Hindustan Zinc Ltd’s silver segment has emerged as a key earnings pillar with global silver supply under pressure and rising industrial demand—particularly from photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturing.

VGF incentive cut may raise BESS tariffs by 10%, but impact likely temporary: SBICAPS

A new report by SBICAPS anticipates that the incentive cut under the second phase of the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme for standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) could lead to a tariff increase of around 10%. However, it adds, this increase is manageable and could be absorbed in the coming months as capex costs continue to decline.
