testing

GameChange Solar has completed testing of its Genius Tracker system, which yielded results of no 'meaningful power loss' in most tests.

Arthur Cao outlines how fresh approaches are needed to ensuretracker-based PV systems are designed adequately to avoid unnecessary failures.

Don Cowan and Mahyar Mohammadnezhad of Kiwa PI Berlin explain the importance of upstream diligence in ensuring long-term PV performance.

German research institute Fraunhofer ISE has launched a project to explore how medium-voltage technology can make material-intensive solar components more efficient and cost-effective.

VDE Americas' David Devir looks at the origins of the supersized PV glass problem and considers how the industry can return to reliability.

Fraunhofer ISE has completed testing work of grid-forming inverters currently available in the energy industry.

The CEC has awarded a US$4 million grant to perovskite developer Tandem PV to test its perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels.

Lab-tested solar module performance has improved over the last year, according to data from US-based technical advisory firm RETC.

Eternal Sun has acquired German solar simulator provider Wavelabs, which has resulted in the formation of a new subsidy, Wavelabs Eternal Sun.

Inverters are critical to PV systems but are often over-specified due to inadequate data on which materials and designs optimise performance.
