A new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

Every solar panel company makes bold claims about its panel efficiency, maximum wattage availability, temperature coefficient and other specs in optimal conditions. Anyone who does product testing ...

Fan Bin, founder of GCL Optoelectronics, about how high-throughput experimentation and AI-driven optimization are ...

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 ...

“Four years ago, that was at 50% and it’s steadily increased since,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico. Image: Kiwa PVEL. A total of 83% of module manufacturers have had at least one test failure in the Kiwa ...

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.

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 ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...

Technicians dismantled the vintage 10-square-meter 1-kilowatt solar array last year, running the solar panels through rigorous lab testing per international standards and finding impressive results.
