Why didn’t I think of that?
Ingenuity through simplicity. Discussing simple yet effective solutions to very common problems in the industry, with VelociWrapper®. Thousands of years ago, a caveman brought a round, flat rock to his council meeting. He showed how the rock could be rolled on its side, enabling it to be moved with relatively little effort. If the rock… Read more »
Moving in to top gear with EVs

Why Europe is ready for a shift to micro-inverter based rooftop installations in residential PV
All over Europe, string inverters have been the standard for decades, not only in large-scale industrial PV plants, but also in residential rooftop installations. Although there have been some alterations in the product standards to tackle performance, safety and other issues, there hasn’t been a major reformation in the residential market for a long time….

Looking to the sun to lower energy costs
Logistics hubs, the central facilities for distributing goods, are the core of logistics companies. Their vast, flat roofs are ideal for installing solar. As energy is one of the leading costs for operating a warehouse, solar can play a crucial role in lowering this outlay. Now, many logistics companies are planning for another huge challenge:… Read more »
Connecting energy for a stable supply
A stable power supply is the focus of current energy debates. The ultimate target is to become independent from fossil fuels. However, the change from a few centralised energy producers to many decentralised ones means a complete reorganisation of the power grid, which has existed in this form for over 100 years, something that isn’t… Read more »
Debunking string inverter misconceptions
There are common, and intertwined, misconceptions in the PV industry about string inverters today. The first is that they are subject to the ‘Christmas light effect’, meaning, if one module can’t produce power, the whole string will stop working. The second is that in the presence of shade, inverters will be forced to work at… Read more »
Value-added partnerships aiding the energy transition
The transformation from fossil fuels to solar and climate-neutral energy generation is a huge task. Integrating sustainability into our entire life cycle will involve the creation of products and services to help people and industry to solarize their energy needs. Thus, effectively reducing their emissions. This can only really be achieved through collaboration and the… Read more »
Causing an inline revolution
Schmid introduces inline single side wet processes along with Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition doped glass layers. IBC (interdigitated back contact) solar cells have metal on the non-illuminated side, to maximize the absorption of incident light on the front . Other advantages of the IBC architecture include lower series resistance due to higher metal fraction,… Read more »
