“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...

Colin Sillerud at CFV Labs suggests that changes in module design have led to a weakening of mechanical stability in modules. Falling solar module prices in recent years mean it can be beneficial to ...

Understanding design and performance characteristics can help machine and system designers select the best products to satisfy requirements of the machines they are building. Semiconductor ...
