ISA, GH2 launch Green Hydrogen Policy Accelerator Training Course in New Delhi
Building on the success of the Cairo Edition, International Solar Alliance (ISA) and Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2) have brought their Green Hydrogen Policy Accelerator Training Course to New Delhi.
Solving the UV problem of n-type solar
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-related damage and degradation. That could mean trouble down the line, if modules in the field begin to show UV-related performance loss. Manufacturers are implementing solutions at cell and module level.
JinkoSolar, Trina say TOPCon modules outperform p-type back-contact panels
JinkoSolar and Trina Solar have separately reported that on-field testing shows tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules outperform p-type back-contact PV modules in monthly power generation.
