Scientists at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) claimed to have created a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a record energy conversion efficiency of 33.2%.
Solar developers will be exempted from paying any stamp duty for land acquired or leased for solar projects and solar parks in Uttar Pradesh.
A committee of the United States House of Representatives has voted to reinstate tariffs on solar panel imports from four Southeast Asian countries, overturning the Biden administration’s decision to allow more unfair solar imports from China into the U.S.
Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), a central government-owned company, has reported its highest-ever renewable power trading revenue of more than ₹100 billion (~$1.22 billion) in the financial year (FY) 2022-23.
A team of international researchers has developed a new technique that could significantly enhance the durability of perovskite solar cells, a promising emerging technology in photovoltaics. The technique, described in a recent study published in Science, could be an essential step towards commercializing perovskite solar cells and reducing their cost.
According to the Raptor Maps’ Global Solar Report, the amount of power loss due to equipment anomalies has nearly doubled from 1.61% in 2019 to 3.13% in 2022. This trend is expected to continue, with anomaly-driven power loss potentially growing to almost 6% by 2025.
India and Japan have initiated a partnership under the Asia Energy Transition Initiative (AETI) to support India’s clean energy transition. India has set an ambitious target of achieving net-zero by 2070, while Japan aims to achieve the same by 2050.
Solar power has come a long way in the past decade, moving from being an also-ran to one of the major players in the global energy race. According to the International Energy Agency, next year, solar photovoltaic capacity will surpass hydropower, followed by gas-fired generation in three years and coal in four years.
The European Investment Bank (EIB), the bank of the European Union, has joined forces with the India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) to increase support for the development of green hydrogen projects across India.
