  • Rundown of Trina Solar’s 210mm solar modules

    Starting with the standardization of 210mm module sizes, reducing manufacturing cost and LCOE with 210mm high-power modules has become a trend in the PV industry. Around 60 percent of the 600W+ modules exhibited at this year’s SNEC in Shanghai used 210mm wafers. Last month, nine companies agreed on standardizing the dimensions of rectangular silicon wafer……

  • TVA secures 279 MW in First Solar panels from for Alabama project

    The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has secured 279 MWdc of advanced thin film solar panels from First Solar for its Lawrence County Solar Project in Lawrence County, Alabama, which is expected to commence commercial operation in 2027. The project reflects TVA’s growing emphasis on solar in the region, which by 2025 is also expected to become the……

  • New pollution: The importance of producing PV with minimal VOCs

    Renewable energy isn’t inherently “green” or “clean.” Solar energy is generated from products that are mass produced in factories that have their own carbon footprints and environmental pros and cons that vary depending on the facility, company and/or country or state of origin. Ship & Shore Environmental (S&SE), a pioneer in clean air technologies, has……
