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 »
Where luxury meets unique technology
Interdigitated Back Contact, or IBC, technology allows for a high efficiency of no less than 21.6%, which is a significant improvement over traditional solar panels. Belinus PV modules come with a 35-year all-inclusive warranty, which is one of the longest in the industry. The IBC technology used in Belinus’ solar panels is unique in several… Read more »
Editors Note
The growth of renewable energy sources is inescapable, and as the world grapples towards net zero it’s only likely to get bigger. Recent figures from the International Energy Agency (IEA), suggest that solar, wind and other renewable energy sources are expected to continue growing, even hinting that there will be as much capacity added in… Read more »
