UVID, or ultraviolet-induced degradation, has been an important issue in modern solar cell and module manufacturing. Kiwa ...

Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE (Fraunhofer ISE) has found that current UV testing methods overestimate degradation in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules, as dark ...

This video explores a new pearlescent UV resin and tests how it performs in a real craft project compared to standard UV ...

Fraunhofer’s research studied the relative power loss of various commercial module types after UV testing. Lines of the same colour represent tests on the same module types. The modules were measured ...

While 19 manufacturers received recognition as high achievers in RETC’s 2026 testing sequences, problems with ...

Engineers from UNSW have created a worldwide UV radiation map for solar panels, highlighting major differences in exposure depending on climate and mounting systems. Their new global study has ...
