From ESS News China Petroleum &#038; Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) and South Korea’s LG Chem have signed a joint development agreement to advance key materials for sodium-ion batteries, as the technology moves closer to mass commercialization. Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on developing cathode and anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, targeting applications in <a class="more-link" href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/11/07/lg-chem-sinopec-to-jointly-develop-sodium-ion-battery-materials/">[&#8230;]</a>

Italy’s 2026 budget law limits its "Iperammortamento2026" fiscal incentive to European-made heterojunction (HJT) and tandem perovskite solar panels. Experts say the move gives Italian manufacturer 3Sun a strategic advantage and warn that the exclusion of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and back-contact (BC) technologies could distort competition and create market inefficiencies.

A group of scientists in China conducted a comprehensive review of existing low-cost photovoltaic monitoring approaches. They found that only 11 out of 88 studies related to PV monitoring incorporate machine learning. The researchers urge the scientific community to place greater emphasis on lightweight machine learning solutions and smartphone-based integration.

Researchers in India have developed a novel layout design tool to identify the optimal locations for solar panel installation on undulating terrain. The tool consists of two components: a filtering module that excludes unsuitable land patches, and an algorithm that determines the optimal distribution of panels across the remaining usable area. The approach was demonstrated on a test site in India.

Fluence Energy says it will supply a 1 GW/4 GWh battery energy storage system for German power producer Leag, marking both Europe’s largest such project and the company’s biggest single installation to date using its Smartstack platform.

This week Women in Solar+ Europe gives voice to Rosilena Lindo, Global energy and climate advisor and former Secretary of Energy in Panama. She says that gender equality is not a women’s issue, but rather a global development imperative. "The gender and energy dialogue has evolved. Women are not victims, they are agents of change," she states.
