Introduction All conventional crystalline silicon-based solar panels consist of 5 layers. These layers are glass front encapsulant layer matrix-cell/solar cells rear encapsulant layer backsheet [1,2]. Silicon solar cells have been embedded in the middle of […]
Introduction: Floating photovoltaic is quite a niche market compared to the mainstream or ground-mounted PV module installation. While it is considered as the third wave for expanding the solar energy market. This segment of the […]
In the first part of the bipartite article, we mentioned that three encapsulation materials, EVA TPO and PVB, have grabbed the most share of the market. Although EVA has the bigger slice of it, it […]
We are pleased to announce that one of our members, Mr. Hesam-Edin Hayati Soloot, will be presenting his paper at the European PV Solar Energy Conference (EU PVSEC) 2021 soon. Solar Edition in line with […]
The PV module price has had a sharp decline since 2010 so that it has dropped more than 80% over the last decade [1]. This drastic decline is partly due to the constant pressure on […]
The falling cost of electricity generation from solar has made PV panels accessible to more people than ever before and has resulted in an exponential increase in solar adoption. With more than 750 gigawatts of […]
Overview: The Idea of a solar-powered vehicle or Vehicle Integrated PhotoVoltaic (VIPV) is nothing new. Dates back to the 31st of August in 1955 when William G. Cobb, a GM engineer revealed the world’s first […]
Ocean Sun, a Norwegian innovative FPV (Floating Photo-Voltaic) Tech organisation, and Fred Olsen Renewables have been awarded EC-funds, for a 0.25 MWp Floating PV project in “open seas”, off the coast of Gran Canaria. The […]
The World Bank estimated that there is a 400 GW global market capacity for floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects under conservative estimations, which is equivalent to the complete world cumulative solar capacity by 2017. This estimation […]
The list of Top 10 PV module Manufacturers of 2020 is based on their shipment dispatch statistics during the mentioned year. Among these manufacturers, LONGi Solar ranked as the leader of the list in 2020. […]
