Morocco's Solar Potential Could Yield 12.28 Million Tons of Green
A new geospatial analysis estimates Morocco could produce 12.28 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually using concentrated solar power. This study provides a detailed roadmap for siting renewable energy infrastructure to align with national decarbonization targets.
A 2.2-inch lab ice ball hits solar panel glass at 76 mph, and the first crack appears 126 millionths of a second later
Researchers used 300,000 fps imaging to measure a 126-microsecond delay in glass fracture during hail impact tests on thin-film modules. This data helps engineers understand dynamic failure mechanisms that static strength metrics cannot predict for module durability.
Poland: Massive lawsuit over nearly 2.5 million PV panels: Are the modules underperforming?
Swift Current Energy has filed a lawsuit against First Solar alleging that over 2.4 million modules are degrading at rates exceeding warranty specifications. This dispute highlights the critical financial and legal risks associated with module performance degradation in large-scale utility solar projects.
