𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐𝟕 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 Solar panels degrade gradually over time due to factors like ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thermal cycling, and environmental stressors. On average, panels lose about 0.5% efficiency per year, though advancements in manufacturing can reduce this rate. After 25 years, most panels still produce 85-90% of their original output, making them a viable long-term energy investment. Degradation can occur as potential-induced degradation (PID), light-induced degradation (LID), or microcracks. PID results from high voltage stress, LID occurs upon initial sunlight exposure, and microcracks can disrupt electricity flow, reducing output. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for forecasting performance, optimizing maintenance, and maximizing returns on solar energy investments. It helps stakeholders make informed decisions about panel selection and maintenance strategies to ensure project success. Interested in exploring more about Solar Panel Degradation Over Time?

Your solar power plant will never be able to cross this efficiency mark! The majority of the PV market still relies on single-junction solar cells like Polycrystalline, Monocrystalline, Bifacial, and TOPCon. But here's the catch—these cells have one major limitation known as the 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘆-𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁, which states the maximum theoretical efficiency of a single junction solar cell can have is around 𝟯𝟮-𝟯𝟯%. Why is that? Imagine trying to fill a 500ml bottle with 20 liter of tank—most of it goes to waste! 💧 That's what's happening with single-junction cells: despite the flood of photons, they can only absorb a limited amount of energy. And the excess? Lost as heat. 🔥 To overcome this problem Multi-Junction Solar Cells enter into the picture 🌟 By stacking multiple layers with different band gaps, these cells can absorb more energy and push efficiency beyond 𝟰𝟬%!

Hexagonal solar panel that works at night: the mirror that will illuminate the Earth from the outside ◾ The academics at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, have been developing gigantic hexagonal mirrors that will be placed in orbit to reflect sunlight during the night onto solar farms. This mechanism would make it possible to illuminate, with great precision, an area of about 10km with direct solar radiation for 20 minutes. ◾ The hexagonal solar panel would rotate at equal intervals illuminating each solar farm to provide an extra 35Mw/h for each pass it makes. The mirrors would retract after each pass until the device is ready to illuminate the next farm, so that there is no risk of causing any imbalance in the Earth’s natural cycles. ◾ How the hexagonal solar panel works: new project to revolutionize the energy generation The team of Scottish academics have named their hexagonal solar panel Solarspace. Key to the invention’s ability to power the photovoltaic panels at night are the gyroscopes installed at the heart of the mechanism. This mechanism is surrounded by huge hexagonal-shaped reflectors. ◾ Thanks to the gyroscopes and the joints of the underlying structure, it is possible to rotate the mirrors in virtually any direction. By means of the well-known geopositioning technology and a series of electrical mechanisms, the panels can be programmed to illuminate the solar farms within the coverage area one by one. ◾ Redirecting sunlight during the night is a perfect strategy to increase the capacity of the solar panels, as it would not only make it possible to take advantage of all the hours, but also to send more light at times of peak demand. In this way, the farms could help balance grid loads instead of just being a backup power source. ◾ The best thing about this solution is that it would not involve any type of pollution or risk to our planet, making it the most effective and sustainable option so far. It is also worth mentioning that it is a technology that can be complemented with other innovations in this field, making it incredibly promising.
