Despite global appetite for clean tech, cost and practicality limit uptake

Despite global appetite for clean tech, cost and practicality limit uptake

Public interest in clean technologies is widespread, but the path to large‑scale adoption remains rocky. According to a recent survey by Trellis data partner GlobeScan, in conjunction with Chatham House, interest in clean tech such as solar panels and electric vehicles is robust. In emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin […]

Modeling subcell degradation rates in perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules

Modeling subcell degradation rates in perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules

Researchers in the Netherlands developed a model to identify tolerable degradation rates of the top cell in perovskite-silicon tandem modules. Simulations showed that an increase in tandem module efficiency from 28.0% to 32.9% could raise the tolerable degradation rate by approximately 50%… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/02/06/modelling-subcell-degradation-rates-in-perovskite-silicon-tandem-modules/

Turkey, Saudi Arabia sign 5GW renewables development agreement, 2GW solar PV in phase one

Turkey, Saudi Arabia sign 5GW renewables development agreement, 2GW solar PV in phase one

This will start with a first phase of 2GW solar PV portfolio in the central province of Sivas and the southern province of Karaman. “We consider these investments, which are among the most important examples of direct foreign investment in our energy sector, to be entirely financed through external financing,” said Alparslan Bayraktar, Turkish Minister

New Nanomaterial Design Could Help Solar Tech Harness More Sunlight

New Nanomaterial Design Could Help Solar Tech Harness More Sunlight

By using gold nanospheres engineered to capture light across the solar spectrum, researchers at Korea University took a step toward lowering barriers to more efficient and cost-effective renewable energy harvesting. Hun Rho et al. introduce plasmonic colloidal supraballs — solution-processable assemblies of gold nanospheres — as a robust and versatile platform for broadband solar energy

Sunspot launches 27 solar flares in 24 hours, including strongest outburst in years

Sunspot launches 27 solar flares in 24 hours, including strongest outburst in years

Four X-class solar flares erupted from the sun on Feb. 1-2. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captures these images of the outbursts. (Image credit: NASA/SDO) A monster sunspot is taking aim at Earth after firing off dozens of powerful flares Sunday and Monday (Feb. 1-2) — including the most intense solar eruption in years. Elevated geomagnetic
