Solar PV can return Greater Cairo to become the city of the sun once more
Greater Cairo is Africa’s largest megacity and one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban regions in the world. One of the earliest names of the city, Heliopolis, means the “City of the Sun”. Today, as the city faces rapid population growth and rising energy demand, that ancient connection with the sun takes on a new meaning. Could solar PV revive this connection, but this time as a cornerstone of Greater Cairo’s energy transition?

India curtailed 2.1 TWh of renewable electricity in fiscal year 2025–26
Ember's analysis found that about 2.1 TWh of renewable electricity generation was curtailed in fiscal year 2025–26, equivalent to 1.3% of total renewable generation, to keep coal-fired power plants operating at their minimum technical load. The report estimates that around 10 GWh of energy storage, charged during peak midday solar generation hours, would have been sufficient to absorb this surplus renewable output, maintain coal plants above their minimum technical load, and avoid the curtailment altogether.

Scientists build PEDOT:PSS-free all-perovskite tandem solar cell with 29.1% efficiency
PEDOT:PSS is commonly used as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells because it combines high transparency, good conductivity, and suitable energy-level alignment, but its moisture sensitivity and acidity can damage perovskite layers and limit long-term stability. In contrast, replacing it with a phenothiazine-based self-assembled monolayer allows better interfacial control during crystallization, lowers defect densities, and enables highly efficient all-perovskite tandem devices with a reported efficiency of 29.1%.
