India’s cumulative solar module capacity reaches 210GW, cell capacity hits 27GW: Mercom

India’s cumulative solar module capacity reaches 210GW, cell capacity hits 27GW: Mercom

Under the government’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) List-I, module capacity was 173.1GW, with cell capacity under ALMM List-II nearly 26.5GW. The top ten Indian manufacturers accounted for 44% of module and 99.5% of cell production capacity.  This surge was driven by the Government of India’s solar initiatives, including the PM Surya Ghar program and the ALMM List-II […]

Cuba Set A Solar Power Record, And China Is Partially To Thank

Cuba Set A Solar Power Record, And China Is Partially To Thank

iknowartworks/Shutterstock Cuba might not be the first country people think of when it comes to renewable energy and solar power. Instead, news about solar energy often focuses on countries like China, thanks to the sheer scale of its solar-focused megaprojects. In fact, the domination of large countries in matters relating to solar power often obscures

Solar-to-X could redefine Iran’s energy future

Solar-to-X could redefine Iran’s energy future

Iran is widely known for its oil and gas resources, but its strongest long-term energy asset may be the sun. New research shows how solar PV could drive a cost-competitive transition across power, heat, transport, industry, and desalination, while opening the door to a broader Solar-to-X Economy… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/18/solar-to-x-could-redefine-irans-energy-future/

Discovery of passivating pinholes in TOPCon solar cells paves the way for higher efficiencies

Discovery of passivating pinholes in TOPCon solar cells paves the way for higher efficiencies

DAS Solar and Hebei University have identified two types of pinholes in TOPCon solar cells: harmful recombinational pinholes, which lack oxygen and cause carrier recombination, and beneficial passivating pinholes, which retain oxygen to enable efficient tunneling while maintaining interface passivation. Their work shows that optimizing oxide layer formation… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/17/discovery-of-passivating-pinholes-in-topcon-solar-cells-paves-the-way-for-higher-efficiencies/
