Around a fifth of solar panels examined in a new study fail much faster than expected and some may last for only half their ...

While preventing the degradation of capacity over the first five years of use is a significant advancement in increasing the lifespan of batteries, the zero degradation of power is also important for ...

Updated findings reflect a higher degradation rate than Geotab’s 2024 study (1.8% per year), largely due to increased reliance on high-power DC fast charging.

Scientists from French research institute CEA-Liten have identified hydrogen migration in doped selective layers as the primary driver of UV-induced degradation in silicon heterojunction solar cells.

The study shows that the buildup on battery electrodes is a side effect, not the root cause, of performance loss. Researchers found that the solid electrolyte interphase layer is semi-conductive, ...
