By adding the PVA-1500 Series I-V curve tracer to its portfolio, Fluke now offers tools for solar professionals servicing everything from distributed-generation arrays to utility-scale projects.

The 247Solar Plants are modular and most of the components are mass produced and can be assembled on site.

Molson Coors is brewing beer with a 300 MW solar project developed by Invenergy. The installation is the largest in the US state of Wisconsin and generates enough power for 90,000 homes.

Research teams have developed methods for perovskite passivation, but there hasn’t been a clear understanding of how the process works. A new Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study provides details on how to passivate the material’s surface so the perovskite no longer degrades so rapidly or loses efficiency.

A study commissioned by First Solar analyzed the company’s actual and forecast U.S. spending in 2023 and 2026 when the company expects to have 14 GW of annual nameplate capacity across Alabama, Louisiana, and Ohio.

The 18th edition of the EnergySage Marketplace Report indicates that the US residential solar segment faces persistent inflation, the California NEM 3.0, and rising loan fees, but prices have fallen and consumer interest in storage is strong.

GameChange Solar says it will expand US production of solar trackers to 35 GW, supplying systems with 70% domestic content, and potentially increasing to more than 85%.

Enphase reports that both the IQ8HC and IQ8X are designed to pair with a full range of solar modules up to 540 W.

S-5! has introduced a module-level power electronics (MLPE) mount for solar developers, installers, end users, and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors who are looking for an MLPE mounting device for solar module frames, without attaching to rails.

Canadian researchers have conducted a lifecycle analysis showing that it’s good for the environment to put solar on rooftops, but a mix of small-scale PV and agrivoltaics might be a better alternative.
