Ambrion launches new all-in-one storage solutions
The Australian firm has introduced single-phase 5 kW and 6 kW AC output storage systems, as well as three-phase 10 kW and 12 kW models. Storage capacities of the new products range from 5 kWh to 40 kWh.
Aiko achieves 24.8% efficiency in commercial solar module production
The result relates to the company’s Comet 3N modules and has been confirmed by independent testing agency TÜV Nord in Germany.
GoodWe launches new hybrid inverters for C&I solar
The Chinese manufacturer has launched a new series of three-phase hybrid inverters ranging from 80 kW to 100 kW. The new products feature eight MPPTs with up to 42 A input current.
All solar cell efficiencies at a glance – delayed
The research group led by Professor Martin Green has not published yet Version 67 of the solar cell efficiency tables, due to production delays. Green, however, has agreed to comment on some of the results to be added in the upcoming edition.
Researchers unmask fast charge potential of hard carbon anodes
Japanese researchers have found sodium-ion batteries using hard carbon anodes can intrinsically charge faster than lithium-ion batteries, challenging long-held assumptions in battery research.
EnergyConnect transmission project records 10 million worker hours
Transgrid and Elecnor Australia, construction partners on the $4.1 billion, 700 kilometre EnergyConnect transmission project have clocked more than 10 million worker hours on the epic project involving the construction of over 1,000 transmission towers.
Back contact perovskite solar cell efficiency improved with breakthrough research
South Korean researchers have developed a novel bilayer tin oxide electron transport layer for improving efficiency and stability of back-contact solar cells.
The impact of transparent conductive electrodes on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell performance
An Oxford researcher has found that transparent conducting electrodes can reduce perovskite–silicon tandem solar cell efficiency by over 2%, with losses linked to electrical resistance, optical effects, and geometric trade-offs. Using a unified optical–electrical model, the scientist showed how careful optimisation of TCE stacks, coatings, and cell design is critical to closing the gap toward the 37%–38% efficiency frontier.
Research reveals impact of laser-assisted firing on TOPCon solar cell performance
A group of researchers from the University of New South Wales and Chinese module manufacturer Jolywood has conducted a comprehensive assessment of how laser-assisted firing processes influence the behaviour of TOPCon cells under the thermal conditions encountered during soldering, lamination, and high-temperature stress.
SEG Solar starts building 3 GW solar ingot, wafer factory in Indonesia
United States-headquartered SEG Solar is constructing a 3 GW ingot and wafer factory in Indonesia. The new production facility is located at its existing cell manufacturing plant, completing an end-to-end solar manufacturing chain for the company.
