Victoria’s SEC connects 119MW solar-plus-storage site to the grid in Australia

Victoria’s SEC connects 119MW solar-plus-storage site to the grid in Australia

SEC executive general manager of assets Lane Crockett said the step marks one of the most important milestones on any renewable energy project. “Before this stage, a project must complete thousands of installation, construction, and safety activities, which must then pass inspections, testing, and safety checks to ensure they operate correctly and safely,” Crockett said.

Japanese scientists improve performance for tin-halide perovskite solar cells

Japanese scientists improve performance for tin-halide perovskite solar cells

The molecule in question is 2-aminobenzothiazole (2-ABZ), a “heteroatom” molecule containing nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and hydrogen. The researchers found that adding 2-ABZ to “Ruddlesden–Popper” tin halide perovskite cells creates a “multifunctional passivation strategy that enhances both photovoltaic performance and device longevity.” The “optimised” devices containing 2-ABZ had conversion efficiencies of 9.07%, compared with 6.6% for
