A pre-assembled conduit manufactured in Australian by Victoria-based balance-of-system supplier PV Connections has purportedly reduced installation time of rooftop solar systems by up to 20%.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s latest solar cost model shows that residential solar prices are up, commercial solar is getting cheaper and utility-scale pricing remains flat. The addition of batteries increases costs by $1.75/W for residential projects and $0.75/W for larger installations.
The OffGrid portable power station provides power for outdoor adventures as well as in hurricane-ravaged areas.
The Big FOUR released Q3 reports last week. JinkoSolar sees a steep drop in Q3 profit amid industry challenges. JA Solar experienced a revenue decline but recovered profit. LONGi narrows losses as revenue slips.
Indielux and EPP Solar have released the “world’s largest” plug-in PV system, a 6 kW unit with a power storage option that connects to existing electrical setups via a safety plug. It is available in Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and Spain.
pv magazine examines recommendations and precautions for flooding, as water exposure to electrical devices such as inverters or battery packs can have serious consequences.
By offering cheap energy storage, concentrating solar power has a huge potential. However, it requires international standards to become a competitive market proposition.
An international team of scientists have combined cyclic-olefin copolymers with a powder of aluminum oxide to create a filament that can be used by a 3D printer to create anti-reflective covers for PV modules. The proposed innovation can reportedly improve PV cell efficiency by over 25%.
A European research team has sought to combine for the first time perovskite solar cell technology with textile ceramic in a novel building-integrated photovoltaic device. The result is a solar brick with potential for future commercialiation, according to its creators.
An international research team has built an all-perovskite tandem solar cell based on a wide-bandgap top perovskite cell with a 20.5% efficiency. The 1-cm2 scale tandem device achieved the highest efficiency ever reported to date for all-perovskite solar cells of this size.
