The solar industry has fought for decades to earn its reputation as the fastest, cheapest way to decarbonize the grid. But in 2025, as deployment accelerates and policy support wanes, the industry ...

The Chinese manufacturer said it developed a new circuit-model–based method to accurately detect hot-spot risks in TOPCon back-contact modules, overcoming limitations of the IEC 61215 approach caused ...

The researchers found that the 50-50 recycled modules performed as well as the panels made with virgin glass. Image: Solarcycle US solar PV recycling firm, Solarcycle, has produced a pilot module ...

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, larger module sizes and greater energy output, the structural integrity and long-term performance of modules have become critically compromised.

Utility-scale solar farms are essential players in the energy transition. But with growth comes more exposure, and large solar arrays are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, especially ...

For two decades, the U.S. solar module supply chain has navigated more turbulence than nearly any other global market. Yet it ...

The US solar manufacturing industry just hit a historic milestone: Domestic solar module production capacity has surpassed 50 gigawatts (GW). If all these factories ran at full capacity, they could ...
