A stained glass solar window on the floor of a CES 2024 press event was more than meets the eye. I was looking not just at an art object, but a solar panel capable of turning sunlight energy into ...

A research group led by Chinese manufacturer Trina Solar has outlined a new approach to predict potential induced degradation (PID) in dual-glass solar panels under multiple typical field conditions.

Glass is a unique material used for its chemical stability and visual transparency. It is commonly used in solar panels as a protective outer layer. In its annual PV Module Index, the Renewable Energy ...

The use of femtosecond lasers to form glass-to-glass welds for solar modules would make the panels easier to recycle, according to a proof-of-concept study. The use of femtosecond lasers to form glass ...

In Texas, Solarcycle mines old solar panels for their materials. In Georgia, it’s building a factory to turn recycled solar glass into glass for new panels. Until recently, when a solar panel reached ...

Hyundai spin-off Solarstic showcases vehicle-integrated solar tech at CES 2026, promising EV range gains and lighter design.

In a world that relies on batteries and energy supplies, there's something quite attractive about the idea of a transparent surface that can harness the power of the sun. Think about it — the windows ...

In a major breakthrough for the solar industry, Heliene will make solar panels using SOLARCYCLE‘s ultra-low carbon solar glass made of recycled solar panel materials. The North American solar panel ...

According to a proof-of-concept study conducted by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the use of femtosecond lasers to form glass-to-glass ...
