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...
Solar energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy available today. It is clean, efficient, and has the potential to meet a large percentage of our energy needs. Despite all of its benefits, solar energy still faces some challenges regarding public perception. In particular, some people find it difficult to believe that solar power can be a viable source of energy for the future. ...
Solar is the lowest-cost source of electricity and battery-based energy storage is the least expensive flexible peaking capacity resource across much of the world today. Embracing a 100% clean energy future is not only imperative, but also the most economic path forward. The remarkable growth of Solar + Storage deployments is the result of two colliding trends: the falling cost of energy storage a...
Efficient solar energy storage is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition: allowing flexible renewable energy production and guaranteeing its integration into the grid. Electricity can be easily generated, transported and transformed. However, up until now it has not been possible to store it in a practical, easy and cost-effective way. This means that electricity needs to be generated conti...
This is by far one of the most frequently asked questions by would-be owners of solar energy systems. It’s only natural for UK residents to wonder whether solar panels produce energy in the winter. How long will solar panels continue to generate energy when the temperatures drop and the skies darken? In a place like the United Kingdom, where the winter is only three months long but might fee...
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...

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...
