According to a Norwegian team of scientists, the responsive power ability of three-phase voltage resource inverters can assist to lower issues brought on by the recurring nature of solar energy on circulation networks. The researchers declare they are more suitable to pricey grid framework such as under-load faucet altering transformers, action voltage regulatory authorities, as well as repaired and also switchable capacitors. The team has actually created a system version including a 7.63 kW PV variety module, a three-phase voltage resource inverter with 9.5 kVA of capability, an increase converter, a three-phase vibrant lots, and also a utility grid.

The three-meter model contains 9 panels based upon a light weight aluminum substance. The PV aspects of the exterior can be slanted to catch even more sunshine.

Italian manufacturer Sunerg has developed a solar module for BIPV applications which is said to offer a wide range of options to better match the architectural vision and the design of a building. The 275 kW monocrystalline PERC panel is available in mahogany brown, reddish brown, bottle green and black-grey.

TSCs are emerging devices which combine the advantages of visible transparency and light-to-electricity conversion. Among the valuable potential applications of these devices is their integration into vehicles, buildings, or mobile electronics. Therefore, color-perception and flexibility are important in addition to the efficiency.

A research group from China has developed a solar floor tile for pedestrians’ and cyclists’ paths. The innovation has been piloted on Hong Kong-based Green Deck. The walkable tile is claimed durable, heat-resistant, nonslip and conversion efficient.

3D printed solar energy trees are artificial trees for harvesting solar energy.

The advanced solar integrated window glass developed by ClearVue has been approved for the United States’ market, which provides the Australian manufacturer with vast global market prospects.

The Chhattisgarh State Renewable Energy Development Agency (CREDA) has issued two tenders for the supply and installation of 5,000 small solar irrigation pumps and 700 solar trees in the state.

The best of rigid and flexible solar panels combine in SunUp, a product for outdoor adventurers invented by Brunel University design graduate Bradley Brister.

Tesla will debut a new, third iteration of its solar roof tile this week — with an official debut tomorrow afternoon. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during the company’s earnings call on Wednesday that it’ll make an official announcement detailing the differences in generation three on Thursday afternoon.

An idea to build solar panels into manufactured homes has given a Portland-based company a big win in a year-long national competition.

London-based markus kayser, a masters candidate in design products at the royal college of art, converts the raw resources of sunlight and sand into glass products with his fully automated, solar-powered ‘solar sinter‘ 3D printer.

Two of Germany’s leading research institutes and a CIGS module maker have announced plans to work on the development of perovskite-CIGS tandem cells with a target of producing thin film modules with better than 30% efficiency.

The weight of a thin-film rooftop PV installation at Netherlands football club AZ Alkmaar has been highlighted in media reports as a possible cause of a stadium roof collapse. However, a full investigation is yet to be launched and one German specialist said studies have shown flush-mount PV panels do not increase static wind loads on rooftops.
