Welcome to the 38th edition of Photovoltaics International. There is every sign that 2018 is going to be a huge year for the industry as manufacturers continue investing in new tools and technologies. We will doubtless see many of the innovations whose evolution has been documented in these pages becoming increasingly mainstream.
\nSticking with bifacial solar, Fraunhofer ISE takes a wide-ranging look at a number of challenges surrounding the technology\u2019s leap to widespread deployment.
\nThe Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) and Meyer Burger Technology AG present a novel bifacial module architecture.
\nThe University of New South Wales, Trina Solar and BT Imaging give a suggestion for predicting the variation in multicrystalline cell performance by measuring the bulk lifetime of ingots.
\nWe also have a look at PV recycling and lifecycle management from First Solar, PI Berlin\u2019s assessment of PID issues in thin-film solar and TongWei presents a roadmap for PERC cells with 22% efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
