Solar Energy systems are designed and built with the intention of providing clean energy for 25+ years. However, the actual life span and performance of solar assets are highly dependent on numerous ...

Scientists at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST) have set ...

The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme ...

Researchers in Brazil have developed a weighted PV inverter efficiency methodology that accounts for country-specific solar irradiance and operating conditions. The approach is designed to address the ...

Researchers from Nanchang University and Trina Solar found that TOPCon solar modules exhibit metastable “degradation–recovery” under UV exposure, with light soaking fully restoring performance and no ...

When it comes to making sure a solar power system is operating at peak efficiency and performance levels, testing is obviously key. However, there’s definitely more to this task than meets the eye.

Beyond finding the location of a fault, machine learning can also help identify if ageing, weather, or something else caused the failure of a PV system. Image: Chris Gellentien. As solar deployment ...

Big hailstones are a significant concern for large solar farm operators. However, there hasn’t been clear data on how widespread the risk is – until now. The annual industry report features studies ...
