It may come as a surprise that solar systems consist of many working parts -- including cells and modules, or panels, which form arrays. An individual photovoltaic device is known as a solar cell.

Using arrays of long, thin silicon wires embedded in a polymer substrate, a team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has created a new type of flexible solar cell ...

Even a new development like the Solar Junction solar cell technology, which recently set the record for most efficient solar cell, can't work alone. It works best with Semprius' solar cell module ...

The module mounting structure differs from conventional flat-terrain solar power plants. The plant feature high-efficiency mono-PERC modules and string inverters. This content is protected by ...

South Korean scientists have fabricated a busbar-free solar cell for shingled modules that uses 60% less silver than its busbar counterparts. A module with the new cells had almost the same ...

US space tech and innovation giant Rocket Lab has unveiled STARRAY, a family of customizable, next-generation solar arrays designed to meet the diverse power needs of satellites operating in any ...

MIT's new solar cells are lighter and thinner and can be laminated ... then clamped to an array of rails that are bolted ... or about 40 pounds for one average-sized residential solar panel. ...
