An international research team has proposed a novel photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) module design that purportedly reduces the risks of cracking in the panel's PV unit. “A critical issue for PVT collectors ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...

When striving for long-term sustainability, designers have latitude as to how complex a system they wish to design. Build sustainability into every aspect of the control panel’s life—design, ...

We develop advanced module technologies for packaging, interconnection, and sustainability of thin-film CIGS and Perovskite PV. This research is part of the Solliance Shared Research Program for ...

South Korean scientists have fabricated a busbar-free solar cell for shingled modules that uses 60% less silver than its busbar counterparts. A module with the new cells had almost the same ...

In 2019, an interesting trend started to appear in the PV market, in which the increase in module peak power was not being driven by significantly improved cell efficiencies, but instead by simply ...

Homeowners have continued to show a growing interest in solar power over recent years. In fact, US residential solar system installations increased by 19% in 2021, according to the Solar Energy ...
