While 19 manufacturers received recognition as high achievers in RETC’s 2026 testing sequences, problems with ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Fraunhofer ISE) has found that current UV testing methods overestimate degradation in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules, as dark ...

Fraunhofer’s research studied the relative power loss of various commercial module types after UV testing. Lines of the same colour represent tests on the same module types. The modules were measured ...

Engineers from UNSW have created a worldwide UV radiation map for solar panels, highlighting major differences in exposure depending on climate and mounting systems. Their new global study has ...

This article explains UV-Vis PV testing needs, helping users to select appropriate standards and kits for compliance.

Testing UV light through side-emitting optical fibers (SEOFs): (a) Westerhoff and his team created an experimental setup for growing biofilm on an Inconel plate coupon with irradiation from SEOFs ...
