A copper-bottomed answer to solar’s silver dependence

The solar industry has dragged its heels on the issue of silver-dependence for cell metallization, but China’s Jiangsu Xianghuan Technology (JXTC) is moving into commercial production with a copper plating process that overcomes many of the challenges that have limited interest from cell manufacturers.

Bolivia’s YLB signs lithium deals with Russian, Chinese companies

The agreements provide for the installation of carbonate industrial plants in the department of Potosí, which will receive royalties and investments of around $2 billion.

China’s CGN New Energy announces winning bidders in 10 GWh BESS tender

CGN New Energy has selected seven winners from 50 bidders in its 10 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) tender, with the lowest bid at CNY 0.458/Wh ($63/kWh).

US bans five Chinese PV firms under Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act

Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the US authorities have banned five Chinese companies from providing products and services in the United States.

Solis releases three-phase string C&I inverters with fuseless design

The Chinese inverter said its new inverters have an MPPT current of up to 54 A and support more than a 150% DC/AC ratio. The new products also feature a maximum efficiency of 98.8% and a European efficiency rate of 98.3%.

A turning point for Algerian solar

Algeria has long limited the use of solar to villages in the Sahara, but two large-scale tenders for 3 GW of generation capacity are expected to change that. By including a local content clause, the North African nation aims to build an industry around renewable energy.

The Hydrogen Stream: TE H2 to secure land for 1 GW Chbika project in Morocco

Morocco and TE H2 have agreed to reserve land for the Chbika hydrogen project in Morocco. They aim to build 1 GW of solar and wind capacity to annually produce 200,000 tons of green ammonia for the European market.

Multiple designs of photovoltaic-thermal collectors

Scientists have modeled eight different kinds of PVT systems, some with a glass covers and some without. They found the worst efficiency was achieved in uncovered systems with parallel round tubes.

Scientists investigate potential of diatomite as a raw material for solar cells

A German-Algerian research team has been investigating ways to produce silicon from diatomite, a fossil material containing amorphous silicon dioxide. The researchers said that, for potential solar cell applications, it will be crucial to extract silion with a low level of impurities.

Algeria’s PV capacity tops 436.8 MW

Solar power is the leading source of renewable electricity in Algeria, with a total capacity of 436.8 MW. About 388.95 MW (82.4%) is grid-connected, and 47.85 MW (10.1%) is off-grid. Recent large-scale tenders aim to push the country’s capacity beyond 4 GW soon.
