Silfab Solar pauses operations at module & cell factory after chemical spills

Silfab Solar pauses operations at module & cell factory after chemical spills

The incidents were chemical spills that reportedly involved roughly 300 gallons of potassium hydroxide and an unspecified amount of hydrofluoric acid. Both chemicals are key to the production of solar cells, particularly in texturing processes. According to local media, authorities have said the spills do not pose a risk to public safety, though a nearby […]

CEA-Ines, 3Sun build heterojunction solar modules based on UV downshifting

CEA-Ines, 3Sun build heterojunction solar modules based on UV downshifting

The new heterojunction solar module concept is based on co-extruded EVA/POE/EVA (EPE) encapsulant with UV downshifting (UV-DS) films, which convert harmful UV light into blue light, protecting cells and slightly boosting short-circuit current by 1.5–1.75%. March 4, 2026 Emiliano Bellini Researchers at France’s National Solar Energy Institute (INES) – a division of the French Alternative

Hybrid perovskite solar cell generates power from sun and rain

Hybrid perovskite solar cell generates power from sun and rain

Researchers at ICMS in Seville have developed a hybrid perovskite solar cell that generates electricity from both sunlight and raindrops, using the photovoltaic and triboelectric effects. A fluorinated CFₓ polymer layer enables water resistance, triboelectric energy harvesting, and high light transparency without reducing solar cell efficiency… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/04/hybrid-perovskite-solar-cell-generates-power-from-sun-and-rain/
