Colin Sillerud at CFV Labs suggests that changes in module design have led to a weakening of mechanical stability in modules.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Origami Solar on how solar steel frames could help ease up the supply chain issues of module frames in the US and Europe.

Origami Solar was founded in 2020 and is commercialising a roll form steel module frame solution that it claims can deliver cost savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer installation and O&M advantages.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the winners of its American-Made Solar Prize Round 5, which is a multimillion dollar competition designed to advance hardware and software solar technologies.

A solar PV module frame made of recycled roll-formed steel has outperformed conventional aluminium frames in testing by an independent third party.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded Origami Solar US$50,000 and advanced it to the semi-final round of the DOE's American-Made Solar Prize competition after being impressed by the company’s folded solar frame
