Led by German research institute Fraunhofer ISE, the consortium has built the solar cells with 100% crystalline silicon recycled from end-of-life photovoltaic panels. The silicon is recycled through a technique conceived by German specialist Reiling GmbH & Co. KG and the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) released the free, web-based platform for automatic residential solar permit approvals.
With a backlog of over 1,200 energy projects, the nation’s largest electrical grid operator is proposing a review process that it claims will better prioritize construction-ready projects, and streamline and speed up interconnection as a whole.
