Though it already hosts several of the world’s largest PV installations, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s solar industry is still young, with limited local infrastructure and expertise ...

With firsthand experience of the complexity of testing indoor PV devices, researchers at Simon Fraser University in Canada identified how certain testing setups and protocols can skew results, then ...

Up to one-fifth of solar PV modules degrade 1.5 times faster than average, according to new research from the University of ...

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.

High flux solar simulators serve as indispensable tools in replicating the intensity, spectral distribution and angular characteristics of natural sunlight within controlled laboratory settings. Their ...

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar farms become more common, so do the invisible defects that compromise ...

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

The simplicity of solar panels on rooftops appears to be deceiving. Once installed, they simply produce electricity while ...

The project tests solar viability over void spaces between multi-storey buildings. JTC has launched a tender to develop Singapore’s first overhang solar photovoltaic (PV) system at 15 Woodlands Loop. ...
