WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2022 – Large obstacles, like clouds and buildings, can block sunlight from reaching solar cells, but smaller sources, such as dust and leaves, can also create similar problems.

Scientists from South Korea have designed new photovoltaic modules with both rectangular and triangular shapes and solar cells connected in parallel, which they said have higher partial-shading ...

Two solar cells connected in parallel (left) and in series (right) with an obstacle creating shade (brown). Shady conditions caused more power loss in series systems. Journalists may use this image ...

Shanghai researchers are exploring different conditions that could impact solar cell performance. The results have been published by the American Institute of Physics Journal of Renewable and ...

Ultracapacitors have a relatively low operating voltage so multiple cells must be connected in series to allow higher operating voltages. Now, a flat ultracapacitor enables smaller size ...

Large, high-voltage rechargeable battery systems are now common sources of power in applications ranging from electric vehicles to power grid load leveling systems. These large battery stacks are ...

For those willing to put some elbow grease into it, there is an almost unlimited supply of 18650 lithium ion batteries around for cheap (or free) just waiting to be put into a battery pack of some ...
