A national auction process for awarding new renewable energy capacity in Brazil, including solar and wind projects. The auction received 20.593 gigawatts of solar proposals and 17 gigawatts of wind proposals.

Research project at Johannes Kepler University Linz to develop ultra-thin, flexible perovskite solar cells for autonomous energy applications. The project resulted in cells 20 times thinner than human hair with 20.1% efficiency and 44 W/g power density.

A research project at MIT that develops and demonstrates a recycling technology to extract lead from old lead-acid batteries for use in manufacturing perovskite solar cells.

Solar cells manufactured using lead extracted from recycled lead-acid batteries. These cells are cheaper than silicon alternatives, require simpler manufacturing at lower temperatures, and have achieved 19% efficiency.

Ultra-thin, flexible solar cells made from perovskite material that are 20 times thinner than a strand of human hair. The cells achieve 20.1% efficiency, weigh 44 watts per gram, are under 2.5 micrometers thick, and can be produced using cost-effective spin coating methods.

A type of solar cell technology. The report analyzes the industry related to these cells.
