Advances in perovskite technology continue to excite the solar world. Recent steps in efficiency and durability appear to herald the technology as not just a distinctive branch of solar research, but is actually shaping up to be a major direction or THE direction in the near future.

When mapping out a solar install, having enough space to put the panels is an ongoing problem. Some roofs are great, so there is no problem in getting what you want up there. But its more of an issue with residential solar than with commercial or solar farm projects. In many cases, on a tight roof, only the highest out put panels can really make the effort worthwhile. But there is a price to pay for that, so buyers need to be careful.

Panel giant Longi, have released a new panel to their Hi-MO 5 series. The latest model is rated at 415w and has impressive 21.25% efficiency level.

Despite the pandemic, worldwide PV inverter shipments actually increased by more than 35%. This is according to IHS Markit’s Market Tracker that follows the global movement of solar products.

Two US-based solar innovation firms have merged to form, what is hoped to be a new and exciting direction in solar cell production.
