Technology and R&D

Lennox developed the first prototype that achieved the DOE’s Cold Climate Heat Pump Technology Challenge’s standards about a year ahead of schedule.

The Module HC 108M is a 410W/400W residential solar module using 108 half-cut 182 mm mono PERC cells and is Solarever’s most powerful module to date.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory developed a tandem perovskite solar cell that tackles problems with stability and boosts efficiency.

Alsym’s batteries, made from readily available materials without lithium or cobalt, will be produced for electric vehicles, stationary storage, and marine applications.

Enovix also demonstrated its US-made silicon anode lithium-ion batteries can charge 0% to 80% in five minutes.

LONGi Solar outlines its high temperature mitigation logic in designing the lower current, higher wattage Hi-MO5 solar panel series.

Buildings-integrated photovoltaics maker Mitrex plans to deploy highway noise barriers with integrated solar that have 1.2 MW of capacity per kilometer. The technology is currently in the pilot phase at government entity locations in North America.

Nokia has headed the proposal, looking to use 4G and 5G networks to support offshore renewable energy projects.

According to the terms of the settlement, Canadian Solar agrees not to import shingled solar modules into the United States.

Renewable energy and circular economy investors include SolarCity founders, the former CEO/CTO of Sunpower, the Urban Innovation Fund, and Closed Loop Partners.
