The solar industry has fought for decades to earn its reputation as the fastest, cheapest way to decarbonize the grid. But in 2025, as deployment accelerates and policy support wanes, the industry ...

Accelerated testing by French certification body Certisolis finds wide performance divergence and design vulnerabilities in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules that current ...

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, larger module sizes and greater energy output, the structural integrity and long-term performance of modules have become critically compromised.

The reliable performance of PV modules is heavily influenced by the climate conditions in deserts, which include factors such as irradiance, temperature, humidity and dust soiling. Image: DEWA R&D. A ...

Utility-scale solar farms are essential players in the energy transition. But with growth comes more exposure, and large solar arrays are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, especially ...
