Perovskite solar cells – Promises and expectations for the third-generation PV technologyOctober 21, 2019Since their invention 10 years ago, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have shown a dramatic increase in conversion efficiency compared with other so-called third-generation solar cells. In 2018, some laboratory tests found that a single-junction PSC cell could reach up to 23% efficiency. Its technology has benefited from developments carried out for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and organic solar cells (OSC), also called organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells.

Exemption of bifacial cell technology from Section 201 measures to accelerate switch from mono to bifacial cell lines outside of China and drive demand in the United StatesJune 17, 2019On 13 June 2019, United States Federal trade authorities ruled that bifacial solar modules will be exempt from Section 201 tariffs, as outlined in a notice from the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The ruling will dramatically increase demand for bifacial solar modules in the United States due to the opportunity of avoiding tariff rates of 15% to 25% through February 2022, in addition to the benefits of higher efficiencies and energy yields associated with such products. IHS Markit expects that demand for bifacial modules in the United States will be primarily served by manufacturing lines across Southeast Asia, as products shipped from China will still face antidumping and Section 301 tariffs that will make them less competitive.Subscribers Only

PG&E’s bankruptcy will generate significant uncertainty for solar and energy storage in the United StatesJanuary 31, 2019On 29 January 2019, investor owned utility (IOU) Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) filed for bankruptcy as it contends with claims of fault related to recent wildfires in Northern California. As of 2017, PG&E was the second largest utility in California in terms of bundled retail electricity sales and within the top ten across the United States. At this time, investors and spectators appear confident that PG&E will re-emerge from bankruptcy, but in exactly what form is unclear. PG&E expects the bankruptcy process to last approximately two years.Subscribers Only
