La tecnología de Photreon plantea una vía alternativa para acelerar el despliegue del hidrógeno renovable, simplificando la cadena de valor y ampliando las posibilidades de producción en entornos descentralizados y off-grid.

A study from the University of Naples Federico II finds hydrogen production at Mediterranean ports could cost €5.7–8.6/kg using only renewables and €2.5–13/kg in hybrid systems, with solar emerging as the most reliable resource and wind outperforming it in select locations. Alongside these findings, major industry developments include new hydrogen and e-fuel projects, advanced electrolyser technologies, and EU-backed infrastructure expansion supporting large-scale decarbonization.

This week Women in Solar+ Europe gives voice to Carla Vico, CEO of France's Green Solver. She says building an inclusive culture means valuing people for their work, accountability, and commitment, rather than their gender or background. "I do not believe in positive discrimination; I believe in creating equal opportunities and making merit-based decisions," she states.

<p>The Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued final written decisions on a patent infringement claim involving TOPCon solar technology.

In a new monthly column for <b>pv magazine</b>, the Becquerel Institute explains why Europe’s solar manufacturing outlook is shifting from decline to cautious opportunity, driven by rising energy uncertainty and new regulations like the Net-Zero Industry Act that create fragmented, nationally defined markets with partial protection for domestic producers. While demand and policy support are strong, complexity, uneven implementation, and competition risks mean success will depend on how quickly and strategically industry players navigate this narrow window.

Norwegian developer Scatec ASA has commissioned the first phase of the 1.1 GW Obelisk solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Egypt, backed by $479.1 million in development finance institution (DFI) debt and a fully contracted storage revenue model.

Se trata de dos mapas interactivos con la capacidad disponible en las redes eléctricas de España, uno orientado a generación y otro a demanda. Los mapas permiten consultar la capacidad de acceso mediante distintos filtros y la información se actualizará mensualmente.

Una nueva métrica para evaluar los costes totales del sistema sitúa el coste mínimo de un sistema híbrido de eólica marina y solar en unos 46 €/MWh, menos de la mitad del coste equivalente de la energía nuclear en las mismas condiciones, según han dicho los investigadores a <b>pv magazine</b>.

The country's seventh green energy auction is set to procure rooftop, ground-mounted and floating solar projects across the Philippines, with increased allocation in Mindanao. The Department of Energy plans to release the auction's terms of reference during the second quarter of this year.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has invalidated all claims of two TOPCon solar cell patents previously asserted by Trina Solar against Canadian Solar subsidiaries.

The country reached a cumulative installed PV capacity of 44.9 GW at the end of March, according to recent figures from Italian PV association Italia Solar.

Supply chain attacks compromise PV systems by targeting trusted vendors, software, or hardware components, allowing attackers to infiltrate systems indirectly through legitimate channels. These attacks can disrupt operations, introduce hidden vulnerabilities, and impact multiple assets at once, making vendor security and system validation critical for resilience.

New figures from grid operator Enedis reveal that France added 1,418 MW of new PV capacity in Q1 2026, roughly matching Q1 2025, despite a broader sector slowdown linked to regulatory changes and delayed tenders.

Canadian utility Hydro-Quebec has revealed the long list of bidders in its 300 MW solar tender. A total 60 bids were submitted with a cumulative capacity of 481 MW.

Un funcionario presidencial surcoreano dijo la víspera que es muy probable que Lee pronuncie un discurso centrado en la seguridad de las cadenas de suministro energético.

A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell <b>pv magazine</b> that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.

Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) for recombination layers in fully textured perovskite–silicon tandem solar cells. ZTO delivers comparable device efficiencies of 27–28% under current-matching conditions, offering a scalable, indium-free pathway for high-performance tandem photovoltaics without efficiency loss.

Un estudio destaca que estos municipios concentran una parte fundamental del músculo industrial nacional.

El organismo ha detectado "diversos indicios de incumplimiento, algunos mantenidos durante periodos prolongados de tiempo, que habrían afectado al funcionamiento del sistema eléctrico y podrían ser constitutivos de infracciones administrativas".
