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...

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...
Solar panels and harnessing the power of solar energy is one of the fastest advancements we have done to get on the path towards sustainability & using renewable resources. But the only drawback in using this ever-present energy source is that we must consider the decline of the materials used to generate this energy. Read more to learn about some significant causes of the degradation of solar...
Energy storage systems capture surplus energy during times of high production/low demand and store it for use during times of low production/high demand. While not a new technology, energy storage is rapidly gaining traction as a way to provide a stable and consistent supply of renewable energy to the grid. The energy storage system of most interest to solar PV producers is the battery energy stor...
