PV Talk: '2024 was a transformational year in terms of energy policy,' says Monika Paplaczyk ahead of this year's Clean Power 2030 Summits.

Carlos Rodriguez, Oktoviano Gandhi and Sun Huixuan examine the energy yield performance of different FPV system configurations.

As solar plants age, the possibility of voltage collapse increases. Thomas Mart and Jeetu Jangle of Solarlytics examine the problem.

Panellists discuss some of the challenges in European solar's financial landscape at an event organised at Intersolar Europe 2025 by PV Tech.

Aesolar and Fraunhofer CSP are developing segmented solar modules optimised for rooftops with partial shading.

PV Tech spoke with Joerg Althaus of CEA about the under-explored issues with solar racking, trackers and other technical concerns.

Traditional PV inspection methods using direct current polarisation have proved unreliable in detecting certain issues. Researchers from Enertis Applus+ detail a new approach to defect detection aimed at improving the efficiency of PV system maintenance and performance analysis.

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, collapsing module quality is forcing a rethink of how reliability and performance can be safeguarded, writes Eric Hafter.

The European PPA space could see more tailored PPAs and hybrid deals, according to experts at the Renewables Procurement & Revenue summit.
