LONGi has developed a crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 33.9%, the highest on record.

By the end of 2023, PV production capacity will exceed 450GW, putting TOPCon technology first in market share in the following years.

The SEIA and Wood Mackenzie have released their latest report into US solar, and expect the industry to add 32GW of new capacity this year.

UbiQD and First Solar have signed an agreement to develop the former’s fluorescent quantum dot technology for use in solar modules.

The SEIA has published research concluding that solar and storage companies have added over US$100 billion to the US economy.

Edison Energy has revealed that the average price of power purchase agreements across Europe and the US has fallen from Q1 to Q2 2023.

Fraunhofer ISE has led research on the world’s most efficient small organic solar cell, with a conversion efficiency of 15.8%

Europe has the potential to deploy 51TW of agriculture-paired solar PV, or agrivoltaics, according to research published in the Progress in Photovoltaics journal earlier this year.

An increase in strategic, self-generating renewable energy ‘prosumers’ in the energy market has the potential to lead to ‘death spirals’ for utilities, according to research from the Tokyo University of Science.

An overwhelming majority of Germans believed that an accelerated expansion of renewables was important, but not everyone from this category agreed to install power plants in their neighbourhoods, according to KfW Research.
