Scientists in Russia have developed an active cooling technique that spreads water on both sides of the solar module and uses a cotton wick mesh to absorb and spread it.

The result is claimed by the company to be the highest efficiency yet reported for any large, polymer film-based perovskite PV module.

The three Chinese panel manufacturers found an agreement on module size and mounting hole spacing.

The frameless panel is based on 22% efficient solar cells and is designed for high, one-sided heat load.

The Tiger Neo panel has a power conversion efficiency of up to 22.1% and a temperature coefficient is -0.30% per Celsius degree.

The panel achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.5%.

The technology is being developed in Japan and should be able to inspect solar modules to provide data on traceability and components used.

Soltech Energy has installed a 646 kW solar facade on a parking garage in Sweden that hosts 300 EV-charging posts.

Vietnamese media claim the new factory is being built to diversify the company’s supply chain away from China and as an answer to new requirements from western countries and suppliers.

German scientists have applied a new combination of cathodes and electrolytes to improve the stability of lithium-metal batteries. They fabricated a device with an energy density of 560 watt-hours per kilogram and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.94%.
