An international research group has proposed a low-cost testing methodology for solar water pumping systems that can reportedly improve water access in developing countries. The novel approach enables ...

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.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan’s Upper Peninsula may not seem like the ideal place for a solar energy hub, but the U.S. Department of Energy has partnered with Michigan Technological University ...

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 ...

A leading laboratory in photonics and renewable energy at the University of Ottawa has developed a new method for measuring the solar energy produced by bifacial solar panels, the double-sided solar ...

Montreal-based researchers developed a plan to embed solar panels into sidewalks to power electric vehicles that deliver food. This "green city" innovation would free up traditionally solar-powered ...

For years, the arguments against renewable power focused on its high costs. But as the price of wind and solar plunged, the arguments shifted. Suddenly, concerns about the waste left behind when solar ...
