An Indian research team developed a transparent, nanocomposite coating that makes solar panels superhydrophobic, enabling self-cleaning and reducing dust-related performance losses. Six months of outdoor testing showed coated panels produced 16% more power than dusty panels and 7% more than manually cleaned panels, while also lowering temperature and improving stability… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/24/superhydrophobic-nanocomposite-coating-boosts-pv-power-output-by-16-outperforms-manual-cleaning/
Nigeria has emerged as one of Africa’s fastest growing solar markets, according to a new BloombergNEF report. Rising electricity costs and unreliable grid supply are pushing more homes and businesses to adopt solar power. Clean energy investment across Sub Saharan Africa reached a record 13.5 billion dollars in 2025. Analysts say economics, rather than climate
Brazil has introduced a compensation framework for wind and solar generators affected by curtailment, covering eligible grid-related and reliability-driven cuts from 2023 to 2025. The rules aim to reduce legal uncertainty, while excluding energy oversupply-related curtailment and highlighting the need for long-term grid expansion and storage solutions… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/23/brazil-sets-compensation-rules-for-wind-and-solar-curtailment/

A Swiss startup may have found a way to expand the country’s solar power capacity without converting additional farmland into solar panel farms. Instead of clearing land for new solar panel installations, Sun-Ways has been running a pilot that uses land already developed for another purpose: railway tracks. The company’s removable solar panels fit in the

190,000 Irish homes are powered by solar energy, but this is just “scratching the surface” according to an industry leader. Solar power is one of the fastest growing parts of Ireland’s energy landscape despite the sector is facing questions around infrastructure, investment, and capacity.
