Swedish researchers developed two novel single-axis solar tracking strategies that dynamically adjust panel tilt based on crop light requirements, balancing photosynthesis and energy production. One ...

Unlike fixed solar panels that remain stationary, a solar panel tracker rotates to maintain optimal alignment with sunlight, increasing energy production by 25% to 45% depending on the tracker type ...

The enormous advantages of bifacial modules are setting a new standard in the photovoltaic industry, and many experts are convinced that they will soon become the dominant design. This technology ...

Soltec has launched its next-generation ‘SF8’ single-axis tracker system to meet the needs of utility-scale PV power plants adopting the new wave of large-area solar panels. The SF8’s 4 to 6 strings, ...

David Kuchta, Ph.D. has 10 years of experience in gardening and has read widely in environmental history and the energy transition. An environmental activist since the 1970s, he is also a historian, ...

In the past few years, the price-per-watt for solar panels has dropped dramatically. This has led to a number of downstream effects beyond simple cost savings. For example, many commercial solar farms ...

Solar power systems with double-sided (bifacial) solar panels--which collect sunlight from two sides instead of one--and single-axis tracking technology that tilts the panels so they can follow the ...
