According to the conclusions of the Dutch researchers, damage to solar panels occurs primarily withhailstones with a maximum size of at least 3 cm."Larger hailstones(more than 4 cm) cause moredamage on average than smaller hailstones, but they also show greater variety in the amount ofdamage to solar panels" they explained in the paper"The vulnerability of solar panels to hail." Starting at 3 cm, ...
Solar panels and harnessing the power of solar energy is one of the fastest advancements we have done to get on the path towards sustainability & using renewable resources. But the only drawback in using this ever-present energy source is that we must consider the decline of the materials used to generate this energy. Read more to learn about some significant causes of the degradation of solar...
Energy storage systems capture surplus energy during times of high production/low demand and store it for use during times of low production/high demand. While not a new technology, energy storage is rapidly gaining traction as a way to provide a stable and consistent supply of renewable energy to the grid. The energy storage system of most interest to solar PV producers is the battery energy stor...
The largest photovoltaic project for civil airports in China has started! On November 21, the Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport photovoltaic construction project held a groundbreaking ceremony. The project has a planned installed capacity of 30MW, which is currently the largest distributed photovoltaic power generation project for civil airports in China. It is understood that the photovolt...
Recently, the weather in the south seems to be "crazy". Just after enjoying two days of "spring", the temperature dropped sharply and I had to put on my down jacket. Is this "late spring cold"? Not only in the south, but also in Mohe, the far north of China, which is the north by traditional standards, has also ushered in its "late spring cold" - minus 43℃. "People say that the north of the desert...
Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Newcastle have found that "hidden contaminants" in TOPCon and HJT modules can cause power losses of up to 16%. The presence of these "hidden contaminants" in HJT and TOPCon glass-backed modules in damp heat induced degradation resulted in relative power losses of 10% to 16% after 1,000 hours of damp heat testing...
Recently, a flash flood disaster occurred in Xinquangou, Xinquan Village, Yongxin Township, Jingyuan County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province. Five people have been missing. It has been confirmed that the missing people are all staff members of a local photovoltaic project. In recent years, flood disasters have occurred frequently around the world, not only causing a large amount of economic losses, bu...
Solar manufacturer T1 Energy has signed a 437MW module supply agreement with an undisclosed US utility. The company has now signed 2.6GW of solar panel supply deals, which is at the “low end” of its full-year module manufacturing capacity forecast. As of August, the company produced more than 1.2GW of solar modules at its Dallas module assembly plant in 2025. According to...
