EneCoat Technologies has raised JPY5.5 billion (US$35 million) in Series C financing to support research into perovskite solar cells.

The world will add 3.8TWac of new solar capacity by 2033, alongside 1.6TW of new wind capacity, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has found that a “hybrid polymer material” in perovskite cells could minimise weather-based degradation.

Germany installed more than 5GW of new solar capacity in the first four months of this year, according to trade association BSW Solar.

A new report from Ember Climate has found that cumulative global solar manufacturing capacity will almost double solar deployment by 2030.

Fraunhofer ISE has developed a TOPCon solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 24%, which is comprised of M10 silicon wafers.

BayWa r.e. has commissioned its first agriPV project in Spain, and has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Velux Group.

Authors from Kiwa PVEL explore how and why they have seen that the test results on individual bill of materials combinations vary.

New research into mixed tin-lead perovskite solar cells has demonstrated the effectiveness of using carboranes to regulate cell temperature.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales have found that TOPCon modules endure “significant degradation” in damp heat testing.
