The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...

Researchers investigated which solar module stockpiling conditions could help to ensure stable solar PV deployment at the lowest cost in Europe. The scientists demonstrated that stockpiling is ...

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

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP’s segmented shade-resistant module technology aims to drastically reduce energy loss caused by partial shading. Image: Fraunhofer CSP. Shading has traditionally encumbered ...

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, larger module sizes and greater energy output, the structural integrity and long-term performance of modules have become critically compromised.

The US solar manufacturing industry just hit a historic milestone: Domestic solar module production capacity has surpassed 50 gigawatts (GW). If all these factories ran at full capacity, they could ...
