Pakistan Becomes Asia’s Largest Market for Chinese Solar Modules

Pakistan Becomes Asia’s Largest Market for Chinese Solar Modules

Pakistan has emerged as the largest market in Asia for Chinese solar modules, importing 10,450 MW in the first half of 2024. This increase is part of a larger trend, as China exported a record 120,427 MW of solar capacity worldwide during the same period, driven by significant price reductions. While the Netherlands remains the

Grid shortages fuel China’s small-scale solar boom

Grid shortages fuel China’s small-scale solar boom

From pv magazine 06/24 Distributed-generation (DG) solar arrays in China have evolved to rival utility-scale sites. National Energy Administration (NEA) data revealed around 96.3 GW of the 216.3 GW of solar generation capacity added in China in 2023 was commercial and industrial (C&I), residential, and other small- and medium-scale systems. The 23.8 GW of distributed

NASA Scientists on Why We Might Not Spot Solar Panel Technosignatures

One of NASA’s key priorities is understanding the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. NASA has not found any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life — but NASA is exploring the solar system and beyond to help us answer fundamental questions, including whether we are alone in the universe. For those who study the potential

Scientists Have Discovered the New Most Efficient Solar Energy System in the World – and It Wasn’t Created by Humans

Scientists Have Discovered the New Most Efficient Solar Energy System in the World – and It Wasn’t Created by Humans

Researchers from Yale have identified giant clams, with their unique photosynthetic structures and light-scattering capabilities, as a potential model for improving solar panel efficiency. These clams, which thrive in the intense sunlight of tropical coral reefs, have a quantum efficiency far surpassing current solar technologies. The study highlights the importance of biodiversity in inspiring sustainable
