The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...

Rethinking module geometry beyond the traditional rectangle could increase rooftop PV capacity on irregular buildings by improving packing efficiency and expanding placement options.

Because TOPCon modules have a lower temperature coefficient, they lose less power when the roof tiles or metal sheets heat up ...

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP’s segmented shade-resistant module technology aims to drastically reduce energy loss caused by partial shading. Image: Fraunhofer CSP. Shading has traditionally encumbered ...

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.
