When it comes to making sure a solar power system is operating at peak efficiency and performance levels, testing is obviously key. However, there’s definitely more to this task than meets the eye.

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 ...

Interestingly, the ‘game-changer’ perovskite solar cells achieved a power conversion efficiency of 25.4% in the testing.

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

A new study reports the discovery of an entirely new stable, earth-abundant, high-performance material for solar absorbers -- the central part of a solar cell that turns light into electricity. While ...

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, larger module sizes and greater energy output, the structural integrity and long-term performance of modules have become critically compromised.

U.S. energy needs have changed dramatically over the last few decades, and questions are growing as to whether our grid can manage these new demands. Aside from rising temperatures—the National ...

High flux solar simulators serve as indispensable tools in replicating the intensity, spectral distribution and angular characteristics of natural sunlight within controlled laboratory settings. Their ...

Plug-in solar, also known as balcony solar, is a popular option in Europe, and it's now starting to be introduced in the ...

Bangladesh has inaugurated a testing laboratory to ensure quality and establish standards for both domestically produced and imported solar panels. The facility has been set up at the headquarters of ...
