The Interstate Renewable Energy Council today released a report that provides guidance on the use of “group studies,” an emerging practice to streamline the interconnection of distributed energy resources (DERs) — such as solar PV, community solar, and energy storage — to the electric distribution grid. The report, Thinking Outside the Lines: Group Studies in the … Continue Reading
Solar Energy Materials and Solar CellsVolume 262, 15 October 2023, 112560 Field tests of a self-sintering, anti-soiling, self-cleaning, nanoporous metal oxide, transparent thin film coating for solar photovoltaic modules Nanoporous metal oxide ceramic coatings, deposited using sol-gel techniques, have the potential to impart self-sintering and self-cleaning coatings to silicon oxide glass. When used on solar photovoltaic modules, these coatings can impart … Continue Reading
