Researchers in Spain have developed a new method to estimated potential-induced degradation (PID) in solar modules used in PV-driven water pumping systems. The proposed approach can detect PID from ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have analyzed the techno-economic viability of improving photovoltaic (PV) plants with degraded modules by reconfiguring them. The team ...

The independent test lab introduced test to failure methodologies and expanded hail and mechanical stress sequences to better reflect risks from extreme weather and glass breakage.

Dr. Christoph Wenge, another research scientist at Fraunhofer IFF, said, “The widest array of faults can occur in the solar ...

For many years, the utility-scale solar PV market has been dominated by central and string inverters, with each claimed to have their own benefits for utility-scale solar applications. Lately, modular ...

Present systems do not monitor large PV plants on the module level. Yet that is exactly where faults occur, which affect the connection of several solar modules in series, that is, the complete string ...

Kiwa PVEL, the independent lab for quality and reliability testing of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, today announced a significant update to its photovoltaic (PV) module Product Qualification ...
