China’s solar industry is losing money. The country is doubling down anyway.

China’s solar industry is losing money. The country is doubling down anyway.

Cheap, abundant Chinese solar panels have become essential to decarbonizing the global energy system. Without them, the world’s clean energy transition would have arguably been slower and more expensive. But China’s solar manufacturing industry now faces a bizarre problem: oversupply. Chinese solar manufacturers have built far more production capacity than the market can absorb. In

Despite historical failure, cylindrical solar tubes may still find a place in BIPV market, say Japanese scientists

Despite historical failure, cylindrical solar tubes may still find a place in BIPV market, say Japanese scientists

Solyndra’s cylindrical CIGS solar technology highlighted both the promise and challenges of unconventional PV designs, but a new study from Japan suggests that cylindrical modules may still offer advantages in building-integrated applications. Researchers in Japan found that their curved geometry improves cooling, reduces temperature-related losses, and enables more stable energy harvesting under optimized urban installation
