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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pine cones as a model: Researchers have developed a new, energy-autonomous facade system that adapts passively to the weather. Pine cones as a model: Researchers at the universities of Stuttgart and ...
