Shading Analysis: How To Do It And Get It Right
If you put ten different people up on the same roof with the same handheld shading analysis device or behind the controls of a do-it-yourself (DIY) software platform, you'll most likely end up with ten different results.
American Solar Repair Makes the Switch to the RT-MINI
American Solar Repair has a unique focus in the solar industry: rather than install new solar panels on customers' homes, they remove existing panels on roofs that have leaks or other problems and reinstall the panels using new mounting hardware.
Nextracker and BCI Steel Renovate Abandoned Pittsburgh Steel Factory to Serve Growing U.S. Utility-Scale Solar Market
This is Nextracker's third new factory, adding to the company's new Texas and Arizona factories announced in April and May, towards building 10 GW of annual domestic solar tracker capacity
Five Myths About DC Power Optimizers
While it is very common for solar installers in the U.S. to install so-called power optimizers in PV systems to meet the local electrical code requirements, these devices are subject to considerable controversy in the rest of the world.
A Deep Dive Into Improving The ROI For Commercial PV Solar Systems
As with any investment, the two main ways to improve the ROI of a commercial PV system is to increase energy production (and therefore annual revenue) and decrease lifetime costs. Let's take a deeper look at how this can be done in commercial PV installations.
New Additives to Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells Boost Efficiency, Stability
Scientists at NREL have demonstrated a tin-lead perovskite cell that overcomes problems with stability and improves efficiency. The new cell, a tandem design with two layers of perovskites, measured a 25.5% efficiency.
Monetize That Runway!
Public airports across the U.S. face a similar challenge: a fixed revenue model with limited opportunity for growth. Fortunately, many have an untapped resource that they can turn into a source of predictable, long-term income - the open space around their runways.
Is the Future of Residential Solar Shingle Roofing?
Solar shingles look nearly identical to traditional asphalt shingles. They have rectangular shapes that lay across a roofing structure, covering it with the same cornered edges that people can recognize from the street.
How Keeping It Simple Can Lower O&M Costs
To mitigate the increasing cost of running a utility-scale solar project, many owners and operators have switched their focus from CapEx to operations and maintenance (O&M).
Sustainable roads of the future--Canada is home to world's first sound absorptive solar highway noise barrier
Mitrex is the world's largest designer and manufacturer of integrated solar products that produce sustainable and renewable electricity to transform any exterior surface into an energy-generating power plant.
Experts Forecast the Wind Plant of the Future To Be Taller and More Economical
In the most-likely scenario, the experts predicted that hub height for newly installed onshore wind turbines will reach 130 meters in 2035, rather than the 115-meter forecast offered in a 2015 survey.
Solar Training Courses for 2022
SEI is scaling the organization on several fronts to give people more access to hands on, more classes online, and more services for employers to help bridge the gap between training and employment.
President Biden's Action Saves Solar Jobs, Invests in American Solar Manufacturing
Following is a statement by Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association:
Major infrared breakthrough could lead to solar power at night
Researchers within the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney have successfully tested a device capable of converting infrared heat into electrical power.
Agrivoltaics: The New Frontier
The pairing of photovoltaics and agriculture is something that must be further explored, including more supportive legislation and regulations allowing for this dual use of land.

S-5!® PVKIT™ 2.0 Solar Rooftop Solutions
The concept of combining PV arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing-for good reasons. Metal roofs have a life expectancy of more than 40 years. Shouldn't the mounting system last as long? With S-5! zero-penetration attachment technology and PVKIT 2.0, the solarized metal roof is the most sustainable system available -and without compromising roof warranties! PVKIT 2.0 is the also the best solution for attaching PV modules directly to any exposed fastener metal roof.
