This will start with a first phase of 2GW solar PV portfolio in the central province of Sivas and the southern province of Karaman. “We consider these investments, which are among the most important examples of direct foreign investment in our energy sector, to be entirely financed through external financing,” said Alparslan Bayraktar, Turkish Minister […]
What’s the latest? In a newly published paper in the journal Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells , researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) explored the role of different encapsulants in TOPCon performance. They discovered that TOPCon modules exhibit power losses of 6-16% when exposed to 2,000 hours of humid, “damp heat”

The month delivered a combined solar generation of 5,698GWh, representing a 17.8% increase from January 2025’s 5,039GWh. Extended daylight hours, optimal irradiance conditions and continued capacity additions drove this substantial year-over-year growth, contributing to the broader renewable energy transformation that has seen clean energy conquer coal in Australia’s electricity mix. Utility-scale solar reached a new January record
The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) determined on 29 January that the Binningup Solar Facility would not constitute a controlled action under the EPBC Act, allowing the project to proceed without requiring a comprehensive environmental assessment. The decision enables Tonic Group to commence clearing activities across a 12.46-hectare disturbance footprint
