As solar modules become more sophisticated, the techniques used to simulate energy performance need to become more advanced. Image: Nextracker. Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as the ...

Researchers in Spain reviewed six models used to calculate incidence angle modifier (IAM) losses in photovoltaic systems. They identified the Martín-Ruiz model as the most comprehensive, as it ...

Maximising the performance of tracked bifacial PV requires optimisation of technical and financial factors. Image: Nextracker PV systems combining bifacial and tracker technologies deliver the ...

The RWTH Aachen University has simulated 27 scenarios of energy communities participating in the balancing market in Germany and has found that the business model behind an energy community is only ...

A new photovoltaic energy-conversion device developed at MIT can be powered solely by heat, generating electricity with no sunlight at all. While the principle involved is not new, a novel way of ...
