Researchers from the EU-funded CitySolar project have developed a new technology that can turn ordinary windows into power-generating units without losing their transparency. It offers an efficiency of 12.3% and a transparency of 30%, the team claims to have set a world record for transparent solar cell modules. These solar cells work like the leaves […]
The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) has conducted one of the first experimental demonstrations of a 4T silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell, achieving over 26% efficiency. A team at the National Centre for Photovoltaic Research and Education (NCPRE) at IIT Bombay fabricated a semi-transparent perovskite solar cell (PSC), which, when combined with a silicon-based solar […]
Tripura Has Installed 12,800 Solar Plants: Power Minister Tripura has already completed the installation of about 12,800 solar plants, according to state power minister, Ratan Lal Nath. He added that the state will receive a subsidy of up to Rs 85,800 for 3-kilowatt solar plants. Under the scheme, Tripura offers residential electricity consumers will receive […]
Madhya Pradesh-based solar pump company, Shakti Pumps, has recently secured land for setting up a solar cell and PV module manufacturing facility using wafers as input material. The company announced this development in a regulatory filing, stating, “Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation Limited (MPIDC) has sanctioned 113 acres of land to our wholly owned subsidiary, […]
Scientists at the University of Oulu, Finland have hinted at new ways to boost the efficiencies of solar cells. The recent findings by the researchers were published in the Advanced Electronic Materials journal. Their latest study advances in understanding the photovoltaic effect in ferroelectric crystals. The research talks about improving the electric output of the […]
In a latest move, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) clarified that domestically manufactured solar cells which are produced using ‘blue wafers’ would not qualify under Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) norms. The ministry issued a formal notification today in this regard. Blue Wafers refer to diffused wafers, usually imported in India from other […]
India has recently witnessed a surge in solar capacity additions, which is estimated to double to 30 GW in FY25, according to an SBI Caps report. This increase in capacity additions is expected to continue improving in FY26 and FY27, further accelerating module demand. The rooftop solar sector is also anticipated to see significant growth, […]
