US scientists recently put different bifacial solar cells and modules through a series of tests at elevated temperature, humidity, voltage and mechanical stress levels. The tests revealed a range of ...

System-in-package (SiP) and other advanced packaging technologies are putting more components together in tighter spaces than previously seen. Often these packages are contained in a module, which is ...

Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

A U.S. research team has fabricated a mini perovskite solar module based on a special polymer hole transport layer material that reportedly improves the panel stability and efficiency. “The stability ...

While designing an internet of things (IoT) project that also required a long radio-frequency link, it occurred to me that there are pre-wired modules already built to do that. In fact, not only do ...

“We believe our updated guidance will be instrumental in advancing the solar industry,” said Terry Jester, managing director for North America at Kiwa PI Berlin. Image: Kiwa PVEL. The Kiwa Group has ...

“Four years ago, that was at 50% and it’s steadily increased since,” said Tristan Erion-Lorico. Image: Kiwa PVEL. A total of 83% of module manufacturers have had at least one test failure in the Kiwa ...
