As solar plants age, the possibility of voltage collapse increases. Thomas Mart and Jeetu Jangle of Solarlytics examine the problem.

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP are developing segmented solar modules optimised for rooftops with partial shading.

PV Tech spoke with Joerg Althaus of CEA about the under-explored issues with solar racking, trackers and other technical concerns.

Traditional PV inspection methods using direct current polarisation have proved unreliable in detecting certain issues. Researchers from Enertis Applus+ detail a new approach to defect detection aimed at improving the efficiency of PV system maintenance and performance analysis.

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, collapsing module quality is forcing a rethink of how reliability and performance can be safeguarded, writes Eric Hafter.

The European PPA space could see more tailored PPAs and hybrid deals, according to experts at the Renewables Procurement & Revenue summit.

As our annual PV ModuleTech USA event kicks off in Napa, California next week, “uncertainty” is the watchword for the US solar industry.

SNEC 2025 takeaways: TOPCon modules set benchmark power at 650W, a wave of BC modules and perovskite tandem cells gains momentum.
