Photovoltaic (PV) module costs have declined rapidly over forty years but the reasons
remain elusive. Here we advance a conceptual framework and quantitative method for …

Single-phase voltage source transformerless inverters have been developed for many years
and have been successful commercial applications in the distributed photovoltaic (PV) grid …

The selective reduction of CO2 with inexpensive solar-driven photoelectrochemical devices
is a contemporary challenge in the quest for renewable fuel production. Here, we report a …

Aggressive growth of land-based solar photovoltaic (PV) farms can create a land use conflict
with agricultural production. Fortunately, this issue can be resolved using the concept of …

Using a bottom-up cost model, we assess the impact of initial factory capital expenditure
(capex) on photovoltaic (PV) module minimum sustainable price (MSP) and industry-wide …

Land-use conflicts created by the growth of solar photovoltaics (PV) can be mitigated by
applying the concept of agrivoltaics, that is, the co-development of land for both PV and …

The utility-scale solar sector has led the overall US solar market in terms of installed capacity
since 2012. In 2016, the utility-scale sector installed more than 2.5 times as much new …
