Studies and Modelling
Photovoltaics researchers at DOE’s Sandia labs release five-year, early-life degradation study of 834 fielded photovoltaic modules
They found that as power degradation increases, the Levelized cost of electricity rises and system lifetime falls.
Studies and Modelling
New study quantifies, for the first time, the historical and future cost savings to the solar industry from globalized supply chains
The study builds on a 2019 paper published by Helveston in the journal Science.
Studies and Modelling
Researchers have determined that moving solar arrays farther apart from each other can have benefits both in economics and efficiency
The research could be relevant for agrivoltaics, in which crops are planted adjacent to or below solar panels.
Studies and Modelling
Battery researchers at NREL are mobilizing to increase collaboration and data sharing to accelerate breakthroughs
The primary roadblock to a battery-data-science renaissance is the requirement for large amounts of high-quality data.
Studies and Modelling
Professor reveals a new solar energy harvesting system that surpasses all existing technologies, and clears the way to use solar power 24/7
Discovery breaks solar harvesting efficiency record.
Research and Development
Pushing the conversion efficiency of tandem solar cells beyond the limits of today’s commercial photovoltaic (PV) modules
Four terminal perovskite-silicon PV tandem devices hit 30% efficiency
Studies and Modelling
Researchers have devised a method to determine the optimal mix of renewable energy sources and energy storage needs
New research can help electric utilities account for climate change.
Research and Development
Rice University engineers say they’ve solved a long-standing conundrum in making stable, efficient solar panels out of halide perovskites
Such a cell would turn more sunlight into electricity than either layer on its own, with better stability.
