The new edition of our quarterly journal PV Tech Power, volume 29, is now available to download, including our comprehensive cover story on solar’s critical next decade.

Supply chain shocks are causing short-term rises in the price of lithium-ion battery packs, but overall the price trend is downward and by 2024 average prices could dip below US$100/kWh.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) supplies most of the world’s cobalt, but exporting semi-finished or finished products rather than raw materials would better help the country capture the value of the metal used in high power lithium-ion batteries.

In this episode of the Solar Media Podcast, we hear the verdict directly from those who were there at COP26.

Long-duration energy storage has a crucial role to play in decarbonising the global energy system sufficiently to avoid catastrophic climate change as long as its value can be unlocked. 

The engineering team behind Leclanché’s LeBlock battery storage solution share valuable insights into safety topics to consider.

News in brief from around the world in energy storage.

The 2020s are “the energy storage decade,” and the world will surpass a terawatt-hour of installations by the time they are over, according to predictions made by analysts at BloombergNEF.
