Researchers have successfully generated solar power from panels placed 10 metres below the sea surface, according to a Euronews report. The experiment suggests underwater photovoltaic systems could one day complement offshore wind and floating solar farms, though questions remain about efficiency losses, maintenance costs and marine impact. The findings have drawn interest as countries look for new ways to expand renewable energy capacity.

Researchers have tested underwater solar panels at a depth of ten metres in the South China Sea, according to an industry report. The trial explores whether photovoltaic technology can generate usable power beneath the surface, where light is weaker but conditions are more stable. Observers are watching to see if the approach could support offshore installations, marine research stations or subsea equipment in the future.

Berkshire Research Group, the global consulting and expert services firm known as BRG, has appointed Marc Metrick, formerly chief executive of Saks Global, as a managing director in its corporate finance practice. The move brings a veteran luxury retail executive into an advisory role, and it is drawing attention as Metrick's first major role since departing Saks Global, where he led the company through its combination of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
