A group of Iraqi scientists has investigated the usage of ground-source energy to cool PV panels and has found this solution could result in a significant reduction in the module operating temperature ...

Scientists have developed a floating PV digital twin system, trained on data from 155 physical experiments, using a two-tier artificial neural network (ANN) with a high-fidelity model and a ...

Photovoltaic technology is indispensable for our ability to mitigate climate change. Nonetheless, more than 70% of the energy made available to us by the sun is wasted in conventional photovoltaic ...

In a PVEL survey of 2018, light-induced degradation (LID, LeTID) was identified as the defect that causes the greatest concern among investors implying severe financial risks [1]. One reason is that ...
