UNSW researchers identified a new damp-heat degradation mechanism in TOPCon modules with laser-fired contacts, driven primarily by rear-side recombination and open-circuit voltage loss rather than ...

Photovoltaic (PV) modules constitute a critical component in the global renewable energy landscape. However, their long‐term performance is often compromised by degradation phenomena that stem from ...

PV module defects are increasing as manufacturers struggle to achieve consistent quality through robust bill-of-materials and process controls.

In early 2026, India's PV market exhibited a unique "dual-track" pricing characteristic for modules, driven by policy barriers and local capacity ramp-up.
