Thermomechanics of photovoltaic modules

open access: yes, 2011
In einem kristallinen Photovoltaikmodul sind Solarzellen aus bruchanfälligen Siliziumwafern elektrisch miteinander verbunden und in einem transparenten Polymer (EVA) zwischen Glas und einer Rückseitenfolie eingebettet. Während der Lebensdauer eines solchen Moduls treten Temperaturschwankungen auf, die auf Grund der unterschiedlichen thermischen ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Cost of photovoltaic energy systems as determined by balance-of-system costs [PDF]

open access: yes
The effect of the balance-of-system (BOS), i.e., the total system less the modules, on photo-voltaic energy system costs is discussed for multikilowatt, flat-plate systems.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.
