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 ...

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.

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, ...

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

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 ...
