U.S. solar panel supply ‘sufficient’ but two bottlenecks hold industry back
Solar panel supply is no issue, but other installation bottlenecks have emerged, said a report from Clean Energy Associates.
Middle-mile logistics: Why commercial EVs are the missing link in sustainable supply chains
As dark stores move closer to consumers to reduce turnaround times, the demand for frequent, efficient restocking has surged. This shift has brought the middle mile into focus as a space ripe for innovation, particularly through the integration of commercial electric vehicles (EVs).
Huasun debuts 720 W solar modules for vertical PV projects
Huasun has launched its 720 W Kunlun G12 dual-glass bifacial solar panels for vertical PV projects at the World Future Economic Summit in Abu Dhabi. The panels feature a 23.2% power conversion efficiency and enhanced mechanical stress resistance with a steel alloy frame.
Ace Green to build India’s largest LFP battery recycling facility
Ace Green Recycling plans to establish 10,000 metric tons of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery recycling capacity per year in India by 2026.
Neuron Energy unveils 1.5 GWh lithium battery factory
The 5-acre manufacturing facility at Chakan, Pune, will produce lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems and other applications.
U.S.-made perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules could be produced at around $0.35/W
Techno-economic analysis conducted by NREL researchers has shown how perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules could currently hardly compete in cost with incumbent PV panels. Production costs for U.S.-made tandem products were found to range between $0.29/W and $0.42/W, with module efficiencies ranging from 25% to 30%.
Where will lithium-ion battery prices go in 2025?
After tumbling to record low in 2024 on the back of lower metal costs and increased scale, lithium-ion battery prices are expected to enter a period of stabilization.
Sodium-ion batteries present an opportunity for India to establish an indigenous energy storage ecosystem
Sodium-ion batteries, with the abundance of input materials, make a viable choice for India to reduce its reliance on imports to meet its energy storage needs, says a new report.
Field testing shows perovskite solar modules can retain 78% of their initial efficiency after one year
Researchers from Belgium and the University of Cyprus have completed outdoor stability tests of perovskite solar mini-modules providing two-years of data on stability performance. The tests showed that the modules’ performance loss rates during the burn-in period of perovskites ranged between 7% and 8% per month.
