The PEARL Consortium has developed perovskite solar cells with carbon electrodes with a conversion efficiency of 21.6%.

The EBRD has launched a new programme to improve access to green financing and support energy investments such as renewable power projects.

The absence of negative pricing in Italy undermines the case for co-located solar storage, the co-founder of Italian IPP Terrawatt has said.

Solar power generation in Central Europe has grown at more than twice the EU average rate since 2019, according to new figures.

PV Talk: Italy’s new CfD policy offers clear support for solar developers in an otherwise uncertain legislative landscape, says Terrawatt's Patrizio Donati.

A project claimed to be Germany’s largest agriPV plant has been commissioned in the north-east of the country.

Iberdrola has signed a 77MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Italian grocery retail group Selex Gruppo Commerciale.

The average price of solar modules sold in Europe fell marginally between July and August, while buyers’ confidence remained steady.

France has awarded 971MW of ground-mount solar capacity, to 165 projects, in the eighth round of the PPE2 PV tender.

Scientists from Germany and Saudi Arabia have discovered that perovskite thin-film cells are compatible with current industry standard silicon solar cells, which they claim is a “crucial step toward the industrialisation of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells”.
