Researchers from Trina Solar and China’s Nanchang University claim to have verified that back-contact solar modules outperform TOPCon modules only when fewer than three cells in a substring are shaded ...

TNO, Verzuu Screen Development, and partners have developed and tested a shade cloth with rollable solar foil in a greenhouse. This innovative system combines energy generation with climate control.

Shade is the mortal enemy of solar panels; even a little shade can cause a disproportionate drop in power output. [Alex Beale] reviewed a “revolutionary” shade-tolerant panel by Renology in a video ...

Scientists in the Netherlands have looked at how TOPCon IBC solar cells could help to reduce the impact of shading on solar modules. “Our work had a double objective: on the one hand, to show how it ...

A solar panel installation in your home can bring all sorts of benefits: lower electric bills, a smaller carbon footprint and even raising the value of your home. But what if your house is surrounded ...
