Different dust, different impact on PV module performance

Scientists in Germany have collected dust from Qatar, Morocco and Thailand to analyze the impact on the performance of uncoated solar glass and uncoated PV mini-modules. Their analysis has shown that dust coverage could range from 4% to 60%.

PV outperforms wind, piezoelectric energy in street lighting

Scientists in Thailand have assessed which technology between PV, wind, or piezoelectric energy is better for powering street lighting and have found solar is the winning tech, as it proved both economically and technologically feasible.

U.S. Commerce Department slaps unexpectedly high tariffs on solar imports

Coalition trade lawyer says the U.S. Department of Commerce’s final tariffs on solar cells and modules from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are among the highest rates he’s ever seen.

New passive solar module cooling tech based on lightweight hydrogel

Researchers at Thailand’s Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology demonstrated a novel hydrogel that has high cooling effect on silicon PV panels. The lightweight technology purportedly enables a temperature drop of 23 C, from 70 to 47 C, and a relative 12.3% power conversion efficiency increase.

Thailand kicks off tender for 205 MW hydro-floating solar hybrid project

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has launched a tender for a 205 MW hydro-floating solar hybrid project at the 779 MW Bhumibol Dam, the largest arch dam in Southeast Asia.

Cooling PV modules with lauric acid and nanoparticles

Thai researchers developed three organic phase-change material (PCM) mixtures with nanoparticles to cool PV modules and improve efficiency. They used lauric acid blended with aluminum oxide, copper oxide, and magnesium oxide in an optimal 94:6 weight ratio, boosting module efficiency by up to 14.11%.

US sets antidumping duties for Southeast Asian solar cells

US trade officials have announced preliminary affirmative determinations for antidumping duties on crystalline solar cell imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The tariffs range from 21.31% to 271.28% depending on the company and country.

TotalEnergies Eneos completes 1.8 MW floating solar array in Thailand

TotalEnergies Eneos has completed a 1.8 MW floating solar array in Thailand, featuring more than 3,000 modules to generate 2,650 MWh per year under a power purchase agreement with Thai manufacturer S. Kijchai Enterprise.

Sinovoltaics tracks 78.8 GW solar module capacity in Southeast Asia

The latest supply chain map from Sinovoltaics tracks growth across Southeast Asia, with module capacity reaching 78.8 GW, and 58 production projects tracked.

Preliminary decision announced on U.S. solar cell imports

The preliminary decision on countervailing duties on cells from companies in Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand are lower than some expected for several major Chinese producers.
