Exciting developments in solar technology! 🌞 Yesterday, we posted an interview about how perovskites are inching their way into commercial solar panel manufacturing, featuring Scott Graybeal, CEO of Caelux. They're working on integrating #perovskite coatings into traditional solar panels to boost efficiency by 20-30% while reducing energy costs by about 20%. Key takeaways: Caelux has a 50 MW demonstration line and is scaling up They're partnering with major module manufacturers Commercial products expected in early 2025 Perovskites could be in 80% of PV shipments by 2040 This technology could significantly advance solar adoption and help bring down the cost of clean energy. It's great to see innovation pushing the industry forward. Check out the full episode to learn more about the potential of perovskite solar technology! https://lnkd.in/gWQP54Sm #CleanEnergy #SolarPower #Perovskites #EnergyInnovation

It's always interesting to lead the Modules category of pv magazine Global's annual awards. Reviewing the 50+ entries in the category provides me with an unparalleled overview of the latest in cutting edge of solar cell and module technology. And then evaluating the finalists with our expert jury, I am fortunate enough to get insights into not only the technologies themselves, but also their cost competitiveness, and market impact. It seems fitting that this year's winner is a leader in back-contact, AIKO Energy. While the technology is mature and has been present in the market for two decades, the results that Aiko has achieved in terms of performance and cost competitiveness is remarkable. With a module efficiency of 25%, power output ranging between 655 to 680 Wp in rooftop formats, the third generation of Aiko's back-contact modules genuinely stands out. There are reasons to believe that the next few years will be dominated by back-contact technology, with Aiko at the vanguard. Thanks to jurors Amy Sih-Chun Fang, Molly Morgan and George Touloupas.

Do you know about the birth of solar energy? In 1883, Charles Fritts crafted the world's first solar panel by coating thin selenium wafers with a layer of gold. This pioneering invention, though not very efficient by today's standards, was a remarkable leap forward in the quest for harnessing solar energy. Fritts' solar panel was the size of a postage stamp and generated only a small amount of electricity, but it also laid the foundation for solar technology that we rely on today. This humble beginning ultimately ignited a journey of innovation and discovery, leading to the development of highly efficient solar panels that can power homes, businesses, and entire cities with clean and renewable energy from the sun. #Solarblocks #solar #solarenergy #solarpower #solarinstallers #solarpanel #solarpanelinstallation #solarhomes #nysolarhomes #cleanenergy #newyork #us
