An international research team has evaluated three air-based cooling methods for photovoltaic panels. They investigated, in particular, forced convection PV (forced-PV), free convection with finned ...

Researchers at SUPSI found that six Swiss PV systems installed in the late 1980s and early 1990s show exceptionally low degradation rates of just 0.16% to 0.24% per year after more than 30 years of ...

PV module defects are increasing as manufacturers struggle to achieve consistent quality through robust bill-of-materials and process controls.
