All low-cost PV monitoring systems at a glance
A group of scientists in China conducted a comprehensive review of existing low-cost photovoltaic monitoring approaches. They found that only 11 out of 88 studies related to PV monitoring incorporate machine learning. The researchers urge the scientific community to place greater emphasis on lightweight machine learning solutions and smartphone-based integration.
Swiss researchers develop snow model to optimize PV system design in alpine regions
The researchers have used computational fluid dynamics-based modelling of snow patterns in an effort to establish best practices to mitigate snow accumulation in alpine PV plants.
How to reduce PV module temperature with frame perforations
Scientists in China have investigated how frame perforations can help reduce the operational temperatures of solar modules through air cooling. Their findings show that the number of perforations must be carefully calibrated, and that more is not necessarily better.
GSE Intégration debuts reversible, concrete-free solar mounting in France
GSE Intégration has introduced a new version of its ground-mounted photovoltaic structure, the GSE Ground System Evolution. It is designed for faster installation and compliance with France’s soil conservation laws.
Articulating trackers and software increase solar output on steep terrain
Nevados, a solar tracker manufacturer, says its articulating tracker systems and digital design software optimize energy production on slopes up to 37%, reducing grading costs and environmental impact.
