Trina Solar announced today that its large-area perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem modules independently developed by the National Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology have made a major breakthrough in conversion efficiency. After independent testing and certification by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Research (Fraunhofer ISE) in Germany, the efficiency of the labora...
The addition of solar panels to existing wind and hydroelectric plants in Turkey could help sidestep growing grid capacity issues, and add 8GW of new capacity to the country’s energy mix. This is according to the latest report from Ember Climate, which found that there is significant potential for hybrid renewable energy projects to improve the country’s domestic electricity gen...
The French National Assembly recently rejected a proposal to suspend the development of large solar and wind power projects. According to the latest voting results on June 19, the amendment proposed by the right-wing party "National Rally" was finally not passed with 377 votes against and 142 votes in favor, ending the policy uncertainty that lasted for nearly a week. The proposal, called t...
In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's e-commerce industry, the logistics industry is not only facing huge carbon emission pressure, but also express delivery warehousing, transfer stations, etc. also occupy a considerable area of land. Relevant data show that my country's logistics and transportation energy consumption currently accounts for more than 20% of the total energ...
In 1771, Arkwright opened the first water-powered spinning mill in Manchester, marking the beginning of modern factories. At this time, it was more than 100 years before the world's first power station was built, and water power became the energy supply for the earliest factories. A hundred years later, in 1896, the world's first industrial park was launched in the UK. It might be difficult for cr...
Josh Cornes, market research analyst at Solar Media, tracked UK solar installations in the first half of 2025 and found that the growth in installed capacity over the past six months was almost the same as for the whole of 2024. In 2025, the UK's solar installed capacity has exceeded 2GWp, ushering in the best start in nearly a decade, and there are 3.GWp of large-scale ground-mounted photo...
Recently, the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) Yangbajing 50MW Solar-to-Storage Project in Dangxiong County, Tibet, and the SPIC Dangxiong 50MW Solar-to-Storage Project in Dangxiong County, Tibet (collectively, the "Dangxiong Phase I and II Projects"), for which the Guiyang Institute of Energy Engineering and Research (GIERE) was responsible for the EPC general contracting, were successfu...
A new study led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) suggests that a deeper understanding of the type of ultraviolet (UV) radiation used to test solar cells could accelerate their long-term performance evaluation and improve their efficiency. The study focuses on TOPCon solar cells, which have become mainstream in the industry over the past two years, but whose durability has been a major c...
