For harvesting heat from solar PV systems, phase change material (PCM) is regarded as the most effective material. The PV panel surface temperature and efficiency are the target parameters we investigated. As a result, this study discusses and describes the effect of using PCM and nanoPCM (NPCM) in cooling PV cells. Generally the transition will be from one of the first two fundamental states of matter - solid and liquid - to the other.

Reports now suggest June 2025 could see rate hikes of $3,000–$3,500 per container, depending on lane and urgency. The solar sector is particularly vulnerable during these seasonal surges, especially for projects racing to meet fiscal deadlines or summer construction windows. . Solar and storage prices are about to rise after a year and a half of record lows, according to new data from Wood Mackenzie. Equipment procurement costs for solar and energy storage will jump around 9% starting in Q4 2025, marking the end of the bargain pricing developers have enjoyed for the last. . Ocean freight rates are rising in Q2 2025, at an alarming rate—again. Shipping a container from Shanghai to Rotterdam now costs $6,000+, up from just $1,800. According to Freightos, this spike isn't just a seasonal fluctuation—it reflects deep, structural disruptions across the maritime logistics. . After years of cut‑price competition and unchecked capacity expansion, the market now faces higher costs, explains Gerard Scheper, CEO of European Solar. Launching this round of restructuring at this point represents a proactive government intervention to stabilize. . Beijing's decision to eliminate solar export VAT rebates tackles deep structural problems: massive oversupply, unsustainable pricing, and growing trade tensions. For example, China now faces a 34% U.
