Researchers had placed a cotton sheet on the back of a PV module, which was then made wet and cooled. On the front side, water was pumped water from a pipe in a way that kept the panel both cool and ...

Scientists in China have investigated how frame perforations can help reduce the operational temperatures of solar modules through air cooling. Their findings show that the number of perforations must ...

How PV modules are treated at the end of their life is an increasingly important issue, but some recycling practices leave a lot to be desired. Scott Azevedo from Intertek CEA explores how asking the ...

Photovoltaic modules are central to the transition towards sustainable energy systems, yet their long‐term efficiency is subject to both inherent material limitations and external environmental ...

Dust accumulation has long constrained the power generation efficiency and operational benefits of photovoltaic modules - especially in desert, dust-heavy regions. Dirt points such as dust adhesion, ...
