President Biden's Action Saves Solar Jobs, Invests in American Solar Manufacturing
Following is a statement by Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association:
Major infrared breakthrough could lead to solar power at night
Researchers within the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney have successfully tested a device capable of converting infrared heat into electrical power.
NREL Creates Highest Efficiency 1-Sun Solar Cell
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created a solar cell with a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination. This is the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured using standard 1-sun conditions.
PVEL Reveals Top Performing Manufacturers in 2022 PV Module Reliability Scorecard
PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), the leading independent test lab for the downstream solar and energy storage industry published its 2022 PV Module Reliability Scorecard, which names 122 model types of PV modules from 25 manufacturers as Top Performers in PVEL's testing.
The Future of Distributed Wind in the United States: Considerations for Unlocking Terawatt-Level Potential
NREL's Distributed Wind Energy Futures Study Finds the Most Promising Locations, Sectors for Distributed Wind To Play a Meaningful Role in the U.S. Energy Future
NREL Scientists Advance Renewable Hydrogen Production Method
Perovskite materials may hold the potential to play an important role in a process to produce hydrogen in a renewable manner, according to an analysis from scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
California ISO hits all-time peak of more than 97% renewables
The peak, which occurred briefly at 3:39 p.m., broke the previous record of 96.4 percent set on March 27, 2022. The new milestone comes as the ISO integrates growing amounts of renewable energy onto the grid in support of the state's clean energy goals.
Sinopec's First BIPV Carbon-Neutral Gas Station Powered By Solis
The project is seen as a breakthrough for Sinopec in the application of distributed solar power generation and also the first carbon-neutral gas station built and run by Sinopec in Guangxi.
Creating a Sustainable Marine Experience in Greyhope Bay
Conservationists wanted to renovate Aberdeen's Torry Battery to create an educational marine center for the community with a zero-footprint, sustainable design.
Wind Industry enjoyed its second-best year but scaling-up for Net Zero requires policy breakthrough
Record years for several regions and offshore wind reflect strong market growth, but installations must still quadruple by the end of the decade to meet a net zero pathway.
Scientists achieve record efficiency for ultra-thin solar panels
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar panels, just one micrometre thick (1μm), convert light into electricity more efficiently than others as thin.
Offshore Wind Farms Could Interfere With Radars
Environmentalists and marine professionals recognize a significant limitation with offshore wind farm expansions. Namely, ships are experiencing more frequent collisions. Wind farms are interfering with vessels' radar systems and creating safety challenges.
Hanwha pledges commitment to build a fully American solar supply chain
Hanwha Solutions to become the largest shareholder of Norway-based U.S. polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon after acquiring an additional 4.67% stake from Aker Horizons, increasing total investment to $204 million and ownership share to 21.34%.
How to clean solar panels without water
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin achieve record efficiency of 28.7% for 2-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell
The joint achievement from Q CELLS and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin sets a new world record for 2-terminal tandem solar cell efficiency based on perovskite top-cell technology and using a mass-production-ready silicon bottom cell based on Q.ANTUM technology.
