With the growing popularity of clean energy sources such as photovoltaic power generation, more and more businesses are installing photovoltaic power stations. While enjoying the benefits of photovoltaic power generation, power station owners should not neglect the maintenance and cleaning of their power stations at home. Correct maintenance and care will not only ensure the power generation capac...
One of the most frequently asked questions by people interested in solar panels is at what time of the year is it more profitable to install a photovoltaic module for self-consumption. In reality, these types of installations pay for themselves over time. Any time is a good time to invest in it. However, the summer season, with its long hours of sunshine, is an ideal time to get down to business. ...
A team of scientists from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed technology to convert old solar cell modules into energy-harvesting thermoelectric materials, which are capable of harvesting and converting heat for electrical energy. This technology aims to reduce the global waste generated by the silic...
In recent years, the market for solar modules significantly changed from more or less exclusively ribbon-based interconnection of full-square solar cells to a wide variety of cell formats and interconnection technologies which continuously increased power outputs. One of those technologies is shingled cell technology, which uses overlapping thin cell strips assembled either horizontally or vertic...
Germany-based Solmax has developed a reflective membrane made of polyethylene resins and coated with a thin white polyethylene layer that reflects ultraviolet (UV) rays. The company claims the membrane can increase the energy yield of a bifacial solar panel project by between 5% and 20%, depending on the plant configuration. Germany-based company Solmax Geosynthetics GmbH, which supplies “ge...

On April 4th, Sun announced that it plans to sign an "Investment Agreement for High Efficiency N-type Solar Cells and High Efficiency Photovoltaic Modules Project" with the People's Government of Shucheng County. According to the announcement, in order to meet the strategic development needs of the company, Sun plans to sign an "Investment Agreement for Eff...
On April 18th, the first 210 Supreme 670W series ultra-high power module of Trina Solar was successfully launched in the Nanchuan Industrial Park of Xining City, marking the official completion and production of the first phase of the 5GW photovoltaic module project of Trina Solar's Qinghai base. At the same time, it helped Xining City, Qinghai Province achieve a "zero breakthrough" ...
Photovoltaic rail transport: How does it work? Rail companies can install solar modules on the roof of trains to generate power for onboard services, such as air conditioning, lighting, and security. They can also install solar panels nearby or on train tracks to generate electricity to run trains and distribute power to the grid. This could provide a solution for rail networks that rely heavily o...
