Fraunhofer’s research studied the relative power loss of various commercial module types after UV testing. Lines of the same colour represent tests on the same module types. The modules were ...

Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light ...

In this year’s ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID) testing, engineering advisory and test services provider Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC), has noticed that 40% of modules tested have ...

Studies undertaken for the 3,700-km Alliance Pipeline to quantify the effects of sunlight on fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating on stockpiled line pipe indicated that the coating ...

UV radiation comes primarily from the sun and is made up of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. UVC rays do not reach Earth, but both UVA and UVB rays pose health risks. Learn more here.

Ultraviolet (UV) light can severely damage the eyes, contributing to conditions such as cataracts, photokeratitis, and age-related macular degeneration. UVA and UVB rays are particularly harmful ...

This is because you can’t feel UV rays. The warmth you feel from the sun is a different type of ray, called infrared. The UV index can tell you how strong the sun’s UV rays are each day. If the UV ...

Levels of UV radiation vary throughout the day. The highest readings occur in the four-hour period around "solar noon", when the sun is at its highest - usually from late morning to early afternoon.

A new study finds that UV dryers for gel nail polish can damage DNA and mutate cells, confirming dermatologists' safety concerns. There are precautions you can take and alternatives to consider.
