Next generation solar tracking
The requirements of solar parks are increasingly changing, with significant consequences for the tracker technologies used. There has recently been a discussion in the industry about raising the risk category from the current class I. This usually means an increase in the project-specific design wind speed for the structural calculation of the tracker. Instead of… Read more »
How to maximize the energy savings of your solar system in five steps
As solar power gains a stronger footing as a go-to choice for homeowners, more and more people are looking to utilize the sun’s energy to reduce their electricity bills. And with a greater focus on our environment, there is also a desire to cut down individual carbon footprints. To help you make the most out… Read more »
Solar irradiance beyond a shadow of a doubt
Capturing accurate solar irradiance data is essential for many fields of use, including architecture and construction planning, meteorology and climate research, and of course, solar energy applications such as designing and optimizing Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Traditionally, monofacial fixed-tilt PV modules facing the equator have been used in solar PV plants. In this application, it is… Read more »

Enhancing solar panel efficiency with the right cleaning agents and coatings
Airborne dust particles, sticky tree and plant sap, lichen, soot and bird droppings are just a few of the things that can contribute to a build-up of dirt on your solar panels. Accumulation creates shading on the panels and will prevent sunlight reaching the cells. This results in poor system performance, loss of efficiency and… Read more »
Leaving the cleaning to the robots
Keeping solar panels clean is crucial to maximizing their efficiency and ensuring optimal energy production. Dirty solar panels can reduce energy output by up to 30%, which can have a significant impact on a system’s overall performance and profitability. We thought it would be useful to learn more about some of the latest cleaning techniques… Read more »
The core of the matter
Without a doubt, storage systems are key to a successful energy transition. In the past months we have discussed production volumes, delivery times, supply chains and technical support comprehensively. But what about the ‘inner qualities’ of energy storage solutions? Are they interchangeable today, or what are the differences and features to watch out for? Although… Read more »
Overcoming subsurface challenges and risks
Subsurface challenges and risks are compounding as optimal land is less available for utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) solar sites. Without proper planning and consideration of a project’s specific subsurface challenges, costs can rapidly balloon, and developers and engineering, procurement and construction contractors (EPCs) can be left scrambling to remediate subsurface issues. In this article, FTC Solar… Read more »
