New Alberta recycling fee on solar panels adds extra burden, renewables sector says

Open this photo in gallery: Sheep run under solar panels at the Enbridge Alberta Solar One project near Burdett, Alberta. Guillaume Nolet/The Globe and Mail Alberta will begin charging a recycling fee on all new solar panels next month, in a move that industry players say adds another burden on top of a swath of […]

Japanese scientists improve performance for tin-halide perovskite solar cells

Japanese scientists improve performance for tin-halide perovskite solar cells

The molecule in question is 2-aminobenzothiazole (2-ABZ), a “heteroatom” molecule containing nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and hydrogen. The researchers found that adding 2-ABZ to “Ruddlesden–Popper” tin halide perovskite cells creates a “multifunctional passivation strategy that enhances both photovoltaic performance and device longevity.” The “optimised” devices containing 2-ABZ had conversion efficiencies of 9.07%, compared with 6.6% for

China’s solar capacity hits 1.28 TW, accounts for 31.5% of total power capacity

China’s solar capacity hits 1.28 TW, accounts for 31.5% of total power capacity

China’s cumulative solar capacity reached 1.286 TW at the end of July, overtaking coal for the first time and accounting for around 31.5% of total installed power capacity. The milestone comes as the PV sector faces slowing installations, grid-integration constraints and overcapacity, shifting the focus from rapid deployment to reliable electricity supply… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/09/03/chinas-solar-capacity-hits-1-28-tw-accounts-for-31-5-of-total-power-capacity/
