PV Charts. Benchmarking solar cell achievements in industry and research Substantial R&D activities, novel cell concepts and new production technologies have led to steeply increasing solar cell efficiencies, especially for large-scale solar cells.

These innovations are of high industrial relevance. Although several compilations for record (laboratory) cells in different categories exist, it is rather difficult to keep track of the latest outstanding industrial efficiency achievements.

Renewable Energy Project Finance

This new banking regime was designed to create a more resilient and robust international banking system with a suite of capital adequacy, leverage, and liquidity requirements. Basel III will have impacts across the broader commercial lending market, though the renewable energy (RE) sector, with its heavy reliance on project finance, will be particularly vulnerable to the new liquidity standards. The general thrust of these standards is to ensure that banks withhold sufficient levels of high quality, stable, and unencumbered assets throughout all of their activities so that they may better weather both short-term and long-term periods of stress [1,2].
