Current approaches to silver recovery from end-of-life PV modules are dominated by acid leaching. While effective, the ...

Scientists have tested the performance of floating PV panels at a height of 800 mm and 250 mm above their floating structures. Their thermal and electrical performance was compared to that of a ...

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

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar farms become more common, so do the invisible defects that compromise ...

It could bring increased options for homeowners. Scientists make groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize solar panels: 'High efficiency' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Fields turned over to solar farms are becoming a more common sight as we look towards a zero-carbon future. But like wind turbines, massive PV installations may soon be heading offshore. China is ...
