Push on to accelerate next generation PV materials
There is no consensus on the future of PV technology but there is general agreement that existing silicon solar cells do not represent the pinnacle of solar energy generation. This has resulted in the exploration of alternative materials and device architectures, with tandem solar cells emerging as the front runner for the next generation of solar cells to be deployed at scale.
Robots to work with humans to demonstrate solar module installation
US electrical contractor Rosendin plans to demonstrate robotic-assisted solar module installation at a large-scale solar energy project under construction in Texas.
Mauritius hosts SolarX Accelerator Programme in collaboration with International Solar Alliance and Business Mauritius
The two-day SolarX Accelerator Programme in Mauritius brought together 35 startups from across Asia and APAC region to accelerate the development and deployment of innovative solar solutions.
“Indian solar manufacturers cannot merely catch up—we must lead”
Suhas Donthi, CEO of Emmvee, speaks with pv magazine about India’s evolving role in the global solar supply chain, the risks of oversupply, and what it will take for Indian manufacturers to lead on the world stage.
Honeywell unveils AI-assisted suite to optimize green hydrogen plants
Honeywell Protonium uses machine learning to optimize the design and operation of green hydrogen projects. Aternium, a US-based large-scale clean hydrogen producer, will deploy the technology at its planned Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub.
Perovskite tandem provider integrates with existing solar manufacturing lines
While many perovskite developers pursue a 2-terminal format, which poses design and production constraints, Caelux uses a 4-terminal approach that bypasses technical challenges.
AI-driven carbon management: The future of global corporate sustainability
The future of global sustainability hinges on clarity—where every tonne of carbon saved is measured, understood, and built upon. For corporations ready to lead, artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t a distant horizon; it’s the lens through which progress comes into focus.
Thin-film solar patents, manufacturing equipment listed for sale
A cancelled factory led to the sale. The solar cells produced by the equipment are “game-changing tech at liquidation values,” said the seller.
