Sekisui-led consortium testing film-type perovskite solar for agrivolatics

Sekisui-led consortium testing film-type perovskite solar for agrivolatics

A Japanese consortium is piloting agrivoltaics using film-type perovskite solar cells over rice paddies to study energy generation alongside crop production. The three-year project will assess impacts on rice yield, land use, and emissions while testing the technology’s performance and commercial viability… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/25/sekisui-led-consortium-testing-film-type-perovskite-solar-for-agrivolatics/

Enervest begins construction on Australia’s largest floating solar array

Enervest begins construction on Australia’s largest floating solar array

The installation is designed to offset the energy costs associated with pumping water from the basin to Wannon Water’s treatment plant, which serves customers across Warrnambool, Allansford, and Koroit. Brierly Basin stores raw water pumped from the Otways alongside water harvested through Wannon Water’s award-winning roofwater harvesting scheme, which collects runoff from residential properties in

Two Planets Forming Around a Young Star Could Resemble an Early Solar System

Two Planets Forming Around a Young Star Could Resemble an Early Solar System

Two giant planets are actively forming around a young star at the same time, something astronomers have only observed once before. Known as WISPIT 2, the system provides a direct look at how planetary systems come together, including our own billions of years ago. The discovery, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, builds on earlier

Scientists discover mirror of our solar system in 2 exoplanets forming around a star

Astronomers have observed two planets forming around a distant infant star, thus discovering a planetary system that offers us a look at the appearance of the solar system over 4 billion years ago. The infant star in question is named WISPIT 2, and it’s located around 437 light-years away with an estimated age of around
