New research has uncovered a critical challenge in solar energy with the discovery that a considerable number of solar panels ...

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

Using an innovative device that can energize old solar cells with multiple times the intensity of sunlight, scientists from EtaVolt, a spin-off from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU ...

A research group led by Chinese manufacturer Trina Solar has outlined a new approach to predict potential induced degradation (PID) in dual-glass solar panels under multiple typical field conditions.

For a long time, engineers have contented themselves with setting strict degradation and unavailability numbers, often guided by an independent engineer’s recommendation, and handed those assumptions ...

The discovery that some solar panels may last for only half their anticipated lifetimes suggests manufacturing and quality ...
