Risen releases 23.5%-efficient anti-glare HJT solar module
Risen Energy has unveiled a new anti-glare heterojunction solar module featuring a dual-layer optical design and a power output of up to 730 W. The bifacial panel achieves a maximum efficiency of 23.5% and has received Class AAA anti-glare certification from TÜV Rheinland.
Thermal energy storage delivers industrial heat but can solve grid issues too
A recent IEA report proposed a 35% global electrification target by 2035 was in “striking distance” thanks to existing commercial technologies such as electric vehicles and battery storage systems but the electrification of heat-dependent industry sits outside the target, yet commercial technologies can play a role in the broader grid system.
