Contributions support the Footprint Project, a nonprofit organization that is deploying solar trailers, palletized microgrids, solar generators and portable power stations to the tornado-ravaged area.

The record efficiency was achieved by engineering the cell with reduced copper(II) oxide (CuO) and copper (Cu) impurities in the thin-film deposition. It showed an open-circuit voltage of 1.13 V, a short-circuit current of 10.63 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 0.696.

Also on the rise: Enel project joins portfolio of energy + storage installations in Texas. ESS microgrid to provide critical backup to fire-prone region of California. AES acquires Community Energy Solar, bringing U.S. pipeline to more than 40 GW.

Job moves in solar, storage, cleantech, utilities, and energy transition finance.

The acquisition gives Enphase installers access to a labor pool that can perform service calls, beneficial at a time of severe labor shortages within the industry.

ESS announced the integration of its long-duration batteries for a microgrid project commissioned by San Diego Gas & Electric to mitigate and increase resilience to wildfires.

The acquisition adds 10 GW of solar projects to AES’ existing pipeline, as well as the addition of Community Energy’s development workforce.

The project joins a large portfolio of renewable energy + storage co-located projects in the state.

The top five articles of 2021 show that pv magazine readers really pay attention when innovative new technologies show great potential, are concerned about the lifetime of components in a solar installation, and are tracking the electric vehicle revolution.

Goal is to reduce cost of heliostats by 50% and accelerate U.S. manufacturing
