Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By ...

A new report published by the International Energy Agency offers a series of guidelines for the design of recyclable PV modules. The report aims to help manufacturers find the balance between ...

At the end of 2021, 5G was on pace to exceed 540 million connections and 220 commercial networks worldwide, according to Omdia and TeleGeography. What do those numbers mean for engineers, systems ...

The future of solar module design will be heavier, not lighter. With hail and extreme weather events increasing, module manufacturers are expected to shift toward thicker glass to improve impact ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

Current simulation and verification methods for power modules are time-consuming. Each domain has specific solutions based on finite elements analysis, computational fluid dynamics and solvers for ...

Since moving into leadership roles, my time in the classroom has been limited and, as a result, has become more precious than ever. Those hours that are just me and the students, sans emails and ...
