PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect

Understanding the PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effect: Extending the Use of Solar Panels

Solar panel installation is a long-term investment. A one-time purchase can provide consumers with a permanent source of electricity. The average lifespan of currently available crystalline silicon solar panels is 25-30 years. So, what factors affect the service life of solar panels? For…

Application and role of agricultural photovoltaics

Photovoltaic systems for agriculture are the new energy frontier, and they offer a variety of advantages and incentives. Given their relevance and sustainability, it is useful to know what is involved in agricultural shed PV. The choice of PV on agricultural sheds has…
The challenges BIPV poses to the PV industry

The challenges BIPV poses to the PV industry

Due to the low cost of PV (currently the lowest source of electricity), it is possible to try solutions that favor building vision, even if energy efficiency suffers. After all, BIPV is about buildings, not PV. The true meaning of BIPV is to…
