Big interview: PVcase’s David Trainavicius on tackling the solar sector’s “data risk”As the global solar sector grows, in both scale of deployments and volume of capital, there is an increasingly unwieldy volume of information in the industry. Data concerning optimal solar irradiance hours, plant performance and equipment maintenance and repair are all becoming increasingly commonplace in the solar sector, but this abundance of information could bring as many challenges as opportunities for a sector undergoing rapid change.28 Apr,2024

Innovating alongside strengthening: how to counter falling solar module mechanical strengthOver the past five years, solar panel design has evolved, with larger modules, thinner frames and different glass types becoming more commonplace. However, a representative from an independent third-party PV test and research lab suggests that this had led to a weakening of mechanical stability in modules.26 Apr,2024
