The demonstrator model, based on Madrid urban conditions, is able to calculate yields but can also be used to evaluate alternative maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms. The team combined ...

Research by 3E and Statkraft has used a new performance measure for solar trackers to uncover “alarming” evidence of a gap between claimed and actual performance.

Solar cells face significant challenges when deployed in outer space, where extremes in the environment decrease the efficiency and longevity they enjoy back on Earth. University of Toledo physicists ...

From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists ...

The CompSTLar project is using laser-induced graphene (LIG) to create smart skins, combining data with simulations to enable virtual stress tests for in situ monitoring and prediction.
