Only 5% of France's record in New Aquitaine, but this new floating plant already serves as a model for future power generation
Solveo Energies has commissioned a 15.4 MWc hybrid solar plant in Saint-Élix-le-Château that combines floating and ground-mounted panels on a former quarry site. This project demonstrates a viable model for deploying solar capacity on already artificialized land without encroaching on agricultural or natural areas.
askST: Should I install solar panels at home? How much can I save on electricity?
The article reports that the number of private homes in Singapore with solar panels increased from 5,817 to 8,086 between mid-2025 and mid-2026. This growth is significant for professionals as it highlights the rising adoption of distributed solar in a market with high electricity tariffs and limited domestic generation capacity.
Climate change could boost solar power production in Sweden by 5%
Swedish researchers have published a study projecting a 5% increase in photovoltaic production in Sweden by 2100 due to climate change factors. This analysis provides critical data for engineers to accurately estimate local solar output in high-latitude regions with significant snow cover.
Serrated Surfaces Could Push All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells Toward 31
A simulation study from Huazhong University of Science and Technology demonstrates that serrated microstructures can reduce reflection losses and increase the simulated efficiency of all-perovskite tandem cells to 31.13 percent. This research is significant for solar professionals as it identifies a specific optical design strategy that could help overcome current efficiency barriers in next-generation perovskite tandem technologies.
