A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2158-2171, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11682-11696, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Optimizing Na and Rb Incorporation Along With Bandgap Grading for High Efficiency Ultra‐Thin CIGSe Solar Cells

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1238-1255, October 2026.
In this work, Na and Rb are incorporated into ultra‐thin Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (< 500 nm). By systematically varying the Rb content and combining predeposited Na with postdeposited Rb, we identify the optimal configuration, achieving solar cell efficiencies of 11.72% on Mo and 10.48% on ITO. Through electrical and compositional measurements, a mechanistic model

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4230-4247, September 2026.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.
