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".

En gas, la distancia también es notable, desde los 0,051 euros/kWh6 hasta los 0,091 euros/kWh.

Por su parte, el barril de crudo West Texas Intermediate (WTI), de referencia en EEUU, se abarataba un 1,3%, hasta los 93,4 dólares por barril.

Hoshine Silicon reported 2025 revenue of CNY 20.499 billion ($2.82 billion) and a CNY 2.991 billion net loss driven by PV disruption and impairments. Meanwhile, polysilicon and wafer prices continued to decline in mid-April amid high inventories and weak demand.

La herramienta calcula la compensación por cambiar calefacción de combustión fósil por aerotermia. El usuario puede recuperar hasta el 60% de la inversión gracias a los certificados, valorados entre 0,115 y 0,14 € por kWh, con plazos de cobro de dos a cuatro meses. Iberdrola y Baxi han lanzado iniciativas similares para impulsar la aerotermia en el mercado residencial.

Building BESS is complicated, with myriad considerations around supplier contracts, site acceptance tests, data analysis, interface between different contractors.

The Swiss federal government has launched a funding call for research projects on energy and resource-efficient industrial processes, including the circular economy related to solar modules, batteries, heat pumps and electrolyzers. The deadline to submit pre-proposals is June 30.

In a new weekly update for <b>pv magazine</b>, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that March in Australia was unusually wet and disrupted, with frequent tropical cyclones, polar air intrusions, and repeated low-pressure systems causing widespread cloud, storms, and record cold in the southeast. Solar irradiance was mixed: below average in the south due to persistent cloud and storms, but near or above average on some northern and coastal regions where breaks between systems allowed recovery.

On 16 April, battery storage solutions provider Sigenergy was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) under the stock code 06656.HK.

La oferta que lanzará Volkswagen en Alemania incluye vehículo eléctrico, aplicación, tarifa eléctrica dinámica, contador inteligente (smart meter), wallbox bidireccional en corriente continua (DC) y la instalación.

In a new weekly update for <b>pv magazine</b>, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

A research team in Germany developed a dynamic model of spray cooling for floating PV systems that couples thermal behavior, electrical performance, and active cooling, and validated it against a 750 kW installation. Simulations across four climates showed that spray cooling reduces module temperatures by up to 42% and improves energy yield by up to 3.8%, with benefits strongly dependent on local conditions.
