Water photovoltaic project is mainly the use of water to build photovoltaic power station, how to build it? There are currently two most common forms - floating and pile-fixed. Pile fixed simply means that in the water pile, and then erected photovoltaic power station, and centralized, roof photovoltaic is the same. However, this form can only be used on small water surfaces, and for wide water ar...
With the growing popularity of clean energy sources such as photovoltaic power generation, more and more businesses are installing photovoltaic power stations. While enjoying the benefits of photovoltaic power generation, power station owners should not neglect the maintenance and cleaning of their power stations at home. Correct maintenance and care will not only ensure the power generation capac...
In recent years, the market for solar modules significantly changed from more or less exclusively ribbon-based interconnection of full-square solar cells to a wide variety of cell formats and interconnection technologies which continuously increased power outputs. One of those technologies is shingled cell technology, which uses overlapping thin cell strips assembled either horizontally or vertic...
Germany-based Solmax has developed a reflective membrane made of polyethylene resins and coated with a thin white polyethylene layer that reflects ultraviolet (UV) rays. The company claims the membrane can increase the energy yield of a bifacial solar panel project by between 5% and 20%, depending on the plant configuration. Germany-based company Solmax Geosynthetics GmbH, which supplies “ge...

Solar power is the most opted source, with many homesteads, offices, and institutions moving towards solar energy. It is the cheapest of all renewable energy sources. What happens when your solar panel produces more power than you need? The solar power harnessed by the PV panels is in DC. With most appliances using alternating current, having a PV inverter to convert power from DC to AC is necessa...
Photovoltaic rail transport: How does it work? Rail companies can install solar modules on the roof of trains to generate power for onboard services, such as air conditioning, lighting, and security. They can also install solar panels nearby or on train tracks to generate electricity to run trains and distribute power to the grid. This could provide a solution for rail networks that rely heavily o...
The vertical tilt, or angle, at which the solar panels are installed in a photovoltaic system will have an impact on the amount of electricity they can generate. A panel will collect solar radiation most efficiently when the sun's rays are perpendicular to the panel's surface – however the angle of the sun varies throughout the year. The optimal tilt angle for a PV panel will differ througho...
Types of losses in utility-scale PV systems There are several different types of solar system losses with various causes, such as the environment, weather, and load. Most are issues that need to be addressed at the design stage, while maintenance can go some way to limit those losses. Shading losses Shading the surface of solar panels from direct sunlight can result in around 7% system loss. As so...
