Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

A new report published by the International Energy Agency offers a series of guidelines for the design of recyclable PV modules. The report aims to help manufacturers find the balance between ...

Colin Sillerud at CFV Labs suggests that changes in module design have led to a weakening of mechanical stability in modules. Falling solar module prices in recent years mean it can be beneficial to ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Let’s face it: Some lucky folks don’t have to worry too much about power conversion. Just plug the board into the ...

Nordic Semiconductor and RF Digital have teamed up on a range of ISM-band modules that have been pre-approved by regulatory agencies (FCC and IC). The modules are intended for ultra-low power ...

Scientists from South Korea’s Korea Institute of Industrial Technology have developed a deep-learning surrogate model for optimizing module aluminum (Al) frames used in glass-glass bifacial ...

Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By ...

Augmenta, a company automating building design for the construction industry, has announced the Electrical Design Module, the first generative design solution for its Augmenta Construction Platform ...
