Carrier debuts residential heat pump for cold climates

2 days ago | pv-magazine.com | Emiliano Bellini

Carrier, a US-based heating solutions provider, has launched a new series of residential heat pumps for use in cold climates. The Infinity heat pump is currently the cold climate heat pump in the market with the highest rate by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), according to the manufacturer. The system features a variable-speed compressor that is reportedly able to adapt its output to the needs of the home.

Indian scientists build 29.14%-efficient tandem solar cell with inverted top perovskite device

3 days ago | pv-magazine.com | Emiliano Bellini

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have fabricated an inverted low-bandgap perovskite solar cell for applications in four-terminal (4T) perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. Inverted perovskite cells have a device structure known as “p-i-n”, in which hole-selective contact “p” is at the bottom of an intrinsic perovskite layer “i” with electron transport layer “n” at the top. Conventional halide perovskite cells have the same structure but reversed – an “n-i-p” layout.
Scientists discover new failure mode in LECO-treated TOPCon solar cells

A group of researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and China’s metallisation paste specialist Changzhou Fusion New Materials has identified a new failure mode in TOPCon solar modules manufactured via the so-called laser-enhanced contact optimisation (LECO) process. The process is carried out after the firing of the metallisation paste and involves scanning a laser across a crystalline silicon cell while it is under reverse bias.

Unpacking the rationale behind low bids in the EU green hydrogen tender

1 week ago | pv-magazine.com | Emiliano Bellini

The European Hydrogen Bank (EHB) concluded its second green hydrogen auction two weeks ago, selecting 15 renewable hydrogen production projects for public funding across the European Economic Area (EEA) and awarding €992 million in subsidies. The selected projects secured feed-in premium tariffs ranging from €0.20/kg to €1.88/kg – levels some observers judged as very low, raising doubts about the viability of the projects. The tariff will be paid per kilogram of hydrogen produced.
