Indian PV manufacturer Emmvee has partnered with Fraunhofer ISO – a leading solar research centre – to build a 1.5GW solar cell manufacturing facility near Bangalore, southern India.
The Indian government has decided to relax the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for two years, in a move to boost installed solar capacity.
US PV incentives should be entirely focused on solar cell manufacturing in the short term, with maximum incentive rates given to domestic solar cell production that ultimately has a risk-free supply chain of materials and equipment, writes Finlay Colville, head of research at PV Tech.
Public institutions and private companies bought a record number of renewable energy last year, according to BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) 1H 2023 Corporate Energy Market Outlook.
The inventors of PERC solar PV technology were awarded the 2023 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering this week, in recognition of the transformative role that the technology has played in raising the efficiency and lowering the cost of solar PV and making it a cornerstone of the renewable energy transition across the globe.
Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) have reportedly achieved a 30.3% efficiency rate for a test-size perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell.
