According to University of Stirling researchers led by Dr Sabine Matallana-Surget, a chemical typically present in sunscreen ...

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 ...

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 ...

They described their findings in “UV-induced degradation of high-efficiency silicon PV modules with different cell architectures,” which was recently published in Progress in Photovoltaics.

UV printing isn’t a new technology. The process uses UV-curable inks to apply layers of color onto a surface that can dry almost instantly when subjected to specific wavelengths of light.

UV Index myths. The EPA debunked various myths about the UV Index in a 2012 informational guide.Here are some examples: You cannot get a sunburn on a cloudy day: You can still burn on cloudy days ...

Anker is making UV printing affordable for small businesses and makers with its E1 printer that can create faux 3D textures. Turn your family photos into painted masterpieces.

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 ...

Understanding PV Module Degradation. A typical PV module is expected to degrade by 2% to 3% in its first year of operation, and 0.5% to 0.7% from year two of operation onward.

Degradation relative to initial during combined UV/HF test sequence: P MPP (left) and V OC (right). Types 14 and 19 were only subjected to parts of the test sequence. Chart: Fraunhofer ISE.
