One of the most critical steps to get exactly right when manufacturing solar modules is the solar cell to solar cell interconnection, where you're soldering electrical connections and mechanical wires between cells.
Read MoreMicrocracks can cause a large area of an individual cell to be isolated from the cell circuit, causing reverse bias. Once a cell gets too hot from reverse bias, it can cause fires, catastrophic failure, and permanent damage.
Read MoreMicrocracks can come from several different areas over the lifecycle of a photovoltaic module. The four main causes of solar microcracks come during manufacturing, during shipment, during installation, and after installation.
Read MoreAll solar cells that go into crystalline modules are made from very thin slices of crystalline silicon, and these slices start off as wafers. Solar microcracks are cracks in the silicon structure that is in the wafer.
Read MoreWith Levalized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) being the key driver, the solar industry expects high performance PV modules, produced with the right materials and processes, installed in a well-integrated system that will perform well even beyond its stated lifetime.
Read MoreThis K&L Gates panel webinar shares what they expect to see in the development and power markets worldwide and what trends they see as helping the industry emerge from the COVID-19 crisis stronger and more resilient than ever.
Read MoreIn this virtual presentation, Andy Klump discusses how COVID-19 and latest technology has disrupted the solar and energy storage industry, and how those disruptions are pushing companies to quality assurance.
