Innovators Solx, Caelux, and Suniva are collaborating in Puerto Rico to manufacture tandem perovskite solar technology, a cost-effective alternative to traditional silicon cells. This partnership is crucial given Puerto Rico’s weak energy infrastructure and heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels. By focusing on a U.S.-based solar supply chain, the collaboration seeks to enhance domestic energy security and advance solar technology while addressing challenges posed by current federal energy policies.
In 2025, solar power accounted for around 75% of new global electricity demand, contributing to a significant reduction in fossil fuel generation in both China and India. The International Energy Agency reported an addition of 605 GW of new solar capacity, resulting in total solar electricity generation of approximately 2,800 TWh and surpassing 8% of global electricity generation. Meanwhile, the UK is planning to install 100,000 new public EV chargers, reflecting a broader trend of declining petrol stations as the country transitions towards sustainable energy solutions. This shift underscores the ongoing evolution of energy infrastructure and the importance of adapting to changing energy landscapes.
An international research team is revolutionizing renewable energy by developing an AI-driven robotic platform for solar cell fabrication, achieving efficiencies of up to 27% and enhancing accuracy in production.
