“Four years ago, that was at 50% and it’s steadily increased since,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico. Image: Kiwa PVEL. A total of 83% of module manufacturers have had at least one test failure in the Kiwa ...
The Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) has released its 2025 PV Module Index, assessing solar module reliability, quality, and performance across industry benchmarks. The report highlights ...
Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...
An Algerian research team has developed a smart water-spray cooling system for PV panels that activates only when temperatures exceed a set threshold, boosting efficiency while minimizing water use in ...
As viticulture suffers from the effects of climate change, German researchers are experimenting with technology that fosters growth while also harvesting electricity.
