Every solar panel company makes bold claims about its panel efficiency, maximum wattage availability, temperature coefficient and other specs in optimal conditions. Anyone who does product testing ...

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 new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

Agrisolar — a practice which essentially marries agriculture and solar photovoltaic energy — is beginning to catch on around the globe, and researchers recently set out to quantify its benefits in a ...

Plug-in solar has remained in the shadows because of a lack of safety standards and often costly requirements imposed by ...

Portable solar panels neatly ride the line between fallback options during a power outage and convenient sources of electricity on the go. Solar power is the fastest growing source of electricity in ...

Around a fifth of solar panels examined in a new study fail much faster than expected and some may last for only half their ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

A team of researchers at the University of Córdoba in Spain discovered a way for solar energy generation and crop production to coexist on the same land without competing for resources. In a recent ...

Swiss startup Sun-Ways is testing removable solar panels installed on an operational railway line through a pilot project with French railway operator SNCF in Switzerland.

SNCF, the national railway company of France, is exploring the use of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules on railway tracks. The latest container-based solar-plus-storage plant developed by AREP, an SNCF ...
