How PV modules are treated at the end of their life is an increasingly important issue, but some recycling practices leave a lot to be desired. Scott Azevedo from Intertek CEA explores how asking the ...

Dust accumulation has long constrained the power generation efficiency and operational benefits of photovoltaic modules，especially in desert, dust heavy regions. Dirt points such as dust adhesion, ...

Photovoltaic module performance and spectral analysis constitute a rapidly evolving field that underpins the optimisation of solar energy conversion systems. Research in this arena focuses on ...

Photovoltaic (PV) modules constitute a critical component in the global renewable energy landscape. However, their long‐term performance is often compromised by degradation phenomena that stem from ...

Scientists in Hungary found that ground-mounted PV modules at an intermediate elevation of 1.1 m achieve the highest efficiency and power output due to improved airflow and reduced cell temperature.

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy have claimed two new record efficiencies in tandem PV modules.

The research team from Wuhan University of Science and Technology published a review in Renewable and Sustainable Energy. By retrieving relevant literature from 2005 to 2024, they analyzed the ...
