ISFH CalTec expands calibration services to large-area perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells

ISFH CalTec expands calibration services to large-area perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells

Presented last month during the tandemPV Workshop in Berlin, Germany, the expanded measurement addresses several critical aspects of tandem cell characteristics, said ISFH. These include: Subcell-specific spectral adjustment and accurate spectral mismatch correction Compensation for shading effects caused by contacting bars Correction for irradiance non-uniformity across large-area devices Homogeneous temperature control Measurement protocols designed to […]

Solar can outcompete grid power in rural India

Solar can outcompete grid power in rural India

A new study finds that solar-based distributed renewable energy (DRE) systems can supply electricity in rural India at lower cost than conventional grid power when projects are tailored to local demand, storage, and grid conditions. It recommends Village Energy Plans (VEPs) as the foundation for scaling reliable, cost-effective DRE deployment through integrated planning and stronger

Trump administration reportedly drafting ban on Chinese solar inverters

Trump administration reportedly drafting ban on Chinese solar inverters

The ban, which sources say is being drafted by the Federal Communications Commission, may take effect as early as this year, and follows actions in Europe to restrict funding for projects that use inverters from “high-risk” suppliers. Officials in the Trump administration are reportedly drafting a ban on solar inverters from Chinese companies, according to
