Partnerships with steel equipment producers in Ohio and two locations in Texas will enable Origami to have its steel solar module frames shipped from fabricator to module manufacturer in one to two days, the company says.

University of Toledo researchers say the cell has a top perovskite cell with a transparent back contact made of indium zinc oxide and a commercially established cadmium telluride bottom device. They claim the champion tandem cell has the potential to reach a 30% efficiency.

The company says the technology’s better cycle times and potential lower costs would benefit grid storage and EV sectors.

Adena Power is developing an energy storage solution using sodium batteries and domestically-sourced raw materials.

One of the nation’s largest solar projects has been approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board.

The utility-scale solar project will supply power to the PJM regional transmission operator.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) released an overview of the top states for solar installation last year.

Developed by the University of Toledo, the cell achieved the highest efficiency ever reported for flexible cadmium telluride solar cells to date. The device reached an open-circuit voltage of 861 mV, a short-circuit density of 27.8 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 71.7%.

The first 194 MW of a 749 MW solar project was activated by EDF Renewables North America and Enbridge.

The product set includes battery storage system container integration, charging platforms for EVs, solar ballasts for landfills, and more.
