In a paper presented at the IEEE PVSC (Photovoltaic Specialists Conference) being held this week, an NREL-supervised test showed that US-based start-up, Alta Devices modules lost little efficiency at elevated temperatures, unlike conventional modules.
Having established the PV cell performance characterization laboratory at NREL in 1980 and devoted more than three decades to photovoltaic science, Dr. Keith Emery of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will receive the William R. Cherry Award at IEEE PVSC.
The previously announced merger of Neo Solar Power (NSP) and Delsolar was successfully completed on May 31, according to Delta Electronics, which owned DelSolar and was a shareholder in NSP.
Multi-junction solar cells with conversion efficiencies of almost 50% could become cost effective as a result of a collaboration between equipment supplier EV Group and Fraunhofer ISE.
Slovenia-based PV module manufacturer and project developer, Bisol has completed factory automation upgrades to improve productivity throughput as it continues to run operations at full-capacity.
Employing its liquid-based dye solar cell (DSC) substrate, Dyesol claimed it had surpassed the standard IEC 61646 design qualification for PV modules, without disclosing the approved testing house.
