Aenert news. Technological innovationsLast year, solar energy technologies continued their rapid development. Of course, this primarily applies to photovoltaic technologies. According to statistics from various sources, in 2024, approximately 2,000 TWh of electricity will be produced through photovoltaic generation, and the share of photovoltaics in the total generation volume will approach or even...

Solar energy. Production activity results in 2024Q3

20.12.2024

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe third quarter of each year is the time of greatest demand for electricity and the best time for solar energy. According to the analytical agency Ember, global electricity demand in 2024Q3 reached approximately 7940 TWh, which is 3.5% more year-on-year. This is an absolute quarterly record for electricity consumption in the world. During the same time, according...

Solar energy. Production activity results in 2024Q2

19.09.2024

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe second quarter of each year is a good time for solar power, when generation in the most populated northern hemisphere increases sharply after short, cloudy winter days. According to our calculations from the Ember analytical center database, global electricity demand in 2024Q2 was approximately 7,095 TWh, which is 4.5% more than in the same period last year. The...

Longi, First Solar, Jinko Solar, Canadian Solar. 2024Q1 Production activity results

07.07.2024

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesSolar energy is increasingly taking a leading position in new electricity generation. For example, it is expected that in the United States, 60% of newly built electricity production capacity in 2024 will be provided by solar installations. By the end of the last year, global PV solar capacity reached nearly 1.5 TW. Over the last decade, cumulative global capacity...

Irena Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024: solar and wind made almost 98% of renewable energy additions in 2023

15.05.2024

Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsAccording to the recently published Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 Report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a new world record for renewable energy in the electricity sector was set in 2023 – with the addition of 473 gigawatts (GW) of renewables (+13.9%) their total global capacity reached about 3,870 GW. For several years in a row, Asia has...

First Solar, Jinko Solar, Canadian Solar. 2023Q4 Production activity results

16.04.2024

Aenert news. Energy CompaniesThe end of 2023 was marked by an unpleasant surprise for the photovoltaics industry, although the prerequisites for this had existed before. After the relative prosperity of the previous few years, a financial storm struck in 2023Q4, sending many companies into crisis. Something similar has happened in the last two years in the wind energy industry, which we have...

Improved III-V Solar Cells

17.03.2024

Aenert. Research Laboratory newsIn the PV industry, innovative manufacturing processes, new materials, solar cells, and modules designs are constantly being developed to increase the device performance and lower the final energy cost. One such innovative technology claiming an ever growing share of the solar panel market is heterojunction solar cells. Heterojunction solar cells (HJT), variously...

Silicon-based Multijunction Solar Cell Reaches Record Efficiency of 36.1 Percent

22.02.2024

Aenert. Research Laboratory newsSolar cells and solar panels are commonly used to harness the energy of the sun and convert it to electricity in an environmentally-friendly manner. However, despite their widespread application their photovoltaic energy conversion efficiency is more or less limited to 29.4 percent. To somewhat improve this limitation, they can be coated with additional materials to...

Solar cell efficiency 2023

19.02.2024

Aenert news. Technological innovationsIncreasing the efficiency of solar cells is one of the most pressing problems in solar energy. Despite the rapid development of renewable energy, it can still provide only about half of new energy needs on a global scale. The low efficiency of wind turbines and solar panels does not allow achieving a power utilization factor comparable to that of fossil fuel energy...
