Norwegian solar manufacturer REC Group has unveiled a new black solar module series for rooftop applications that is based on gapless technology, which raises the density of panels by eliminating the ...

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 ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

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 ...

These issues exist for any module supplier/panel-format, but some of these issues (especially at the BoM level) are all the more pertinent when radically new module sizes are being offered. The online ...

To ensure efficient operation and safety over time, the properties and materials of photovoltaic (PV) panels must undergo many electrical and mechanical tests. The document that dictates PV panel ...
