Rooftop solar may ‘unintentionally’ exacerbate urban heat

1 week ago | pv-magazine-india.com | Emiliano Bellini

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have investigated the impact of rooftop PV systems in urban microclimates and temperatures and have found that these installations, despite their potential to enhance energy sustainability, could “inadvertently” exacerbate urban heat. The research was conducted at the HKUST subtropical campus hosting several PV systems since 2020.

From pv magazine GlobalSolar and wind remain the most competitive sources of electricity on an unsubsidized basis in the United States, despite persistent low natural gas prices, according to a new report by U.S.-based financial firm Lazard. The report offers a comparative levelized cost of energy (LCOE) analysis for various generation technologies on a $/MWh basis, excluding US federal tax subsidies, fuel prices, carbon pricing, and cost of capital.
New study confirms sensitivity of heterojunction solar cells to soldering flux

1 week ago | pv-magazine.com | Emiliano Bellini

A group of researchers from the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) has investigated how commercially available solder fluxes can corrode indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in heterojunction (HJT) solar cells and have found that there is a significant risk of early degradation during the cell interconnection process. Soldering fluxes are used to remove the oxide from the tab ribbons or bus ribbons during the module assembly process.
