Australian rooftop PV might face grid restraints
The capability to feed electrical energy from roof PV selections into Australia's circulation network may be seriously restricted in the future, as installments appear most likely to surpass assumptions. A Cornwall Insight projection sees some 24.45 GW of rooftop solar to be included with 2030-- a rate that increases the demand for a distribution-level market and may see connections cut in the future.

Foil method for PID examination misguiding so one side of bifacial module is stressed
Arise from PID cardiovascular test can be misguiding when bifacial PV modules are PID-stressed from simply one side making use of the aluminum foil technique in IEC TS 62804, according to a new study by Belgian researchers. An unintended electrical field arises between the non-stressed side of the cell and the based inside of the climate chamber, which might have the undesired result of creating added PID stress and anxiety.
