Fabricating perovskite solar cells with robotic boxes

Fabricating perovskite solar cells with robotic boxes

An international research team has developed an AI-driven robotic platform that autonomously designs, fabricates, and optimizes perovskite solar cells, completing the full experimental workflow in a closed-loop system. Using the platform, the researchers fabricated and tested more than 50,000 devices, achieving efficiencies of up to 27%… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/21/fabricating-perovskite-solar-cells-with-robotic-boxes/

Scientists develop dirt-powered fuel cell that could replace batteries

Scientists develop dirt-powered fuel cell that could replace batteries

Researchers led by Northwestern University have developed a fuel cell that generates electricity using microbes naturally found in soil. The device, roughly the size of a paperback book, produces small amounts of power by capturing energy released as these microorganisms break down organic material in dirt. This soil-powered system is designed to run underground sensors

US community solar capacity passes 10GW despite 2025 slowdown

US community solar capacity passes 10GW despite 2025 slowdown

According to the report, the dip in 2025 was due to a slowdown in mature markets such as New York and Maine. “Overall, we expect national installed community solar capacity will contract by an average of 5% annually through 2030 in existing state-level programmes,” said Caitlin Connelly, senior analyst and lead author of the report.

Solar procurement is changing as geopolitics ‘redefines risk’

Solar procurement is changing as geopolitics ‘redefines risk’

That includes growing global tensions that put strain on supply chains, increased regulations around environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) procurement, ethical traceability and transparency concerns for solar and energy storage products, and mounting cybersecurity risk, which Yaneva said can “turn your power plant into someone else’s weapon”. These factors could expose project owners or developers

European solar must ‘embrace volatility’ (and energy storage)

Axel Thiemann, CEO of IPP Sonnedix, said that his firm has learned to “embrace volatility on all different levels,” including macroeconomic change, fast regulatory shifts and “really, really volatile” power prices. This volatility is “not necessarily something we need to mitigate and try to avoid, but it has to be a source of value. Not
