Parking lots and garage rooftops offer expansive, un-shaded and unobstructed spaces ideal for housing commercial-scale solar energy systems. For years, solar photovoltaics (PV) have proven to be a ...

A group of scientists from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences designed a prototype of a solar photovoltaic tree that purportedly offers an optimal balance between energy ...

Researchers from Ukraine's Lviv Polytechnic National University have proposed a novel design for standalone solar PV water pumping systems (SPVWPSs) that reportedly achieve higher efficiencies. While ...

For obvious reasons, there has been a lot of interest in small-scale residential solar power systems lately. Even in my neck of the woods, where the sun doesn’t shine much from October to April, solar ...

Photovoltaics is the technology branch that directly converts sunlight into usable electrical energy. Known as PV for short, photovoltaics offer a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, ...

The 130MW Orange Grove solar project in Texas, constructed by Qcells EPC, prevented voltage drops and reduced costs through improved eBOS design. Image: Terrasmart. Utility-scale solar projects ...

Energy yield as a metric for PV performance is no longer sufficient on its own. Image: American Public Power Association, Unsplash. The size of PV projects and increasingly complex market conditions ...

What is the PV-Pushback-Effect? How can solar day lamps (SDLs) take advantage of this effect? Solar day lamps (SDLs) are made by simply connecting an LED array to a solar photovoltaic (PV) panel. SDLs ...

Installing floating photovoltaic solar panels on a water reservoir provides Kelseyville Wastewater Treatment Plant with low-cost, clean energy, reduces algae growth, minimizes bank erosion, and ...
