Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by increasing the non- emitting share of electricity generation to 90% by 2030. As solar energy costs have …
Graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) nanocomposites (PMMA-GO) have demonstrated a wide range of outstanding mechanical, electrical, and …
As Alberta increases conventional solar power generation, land-use conflicts with agriculture increase. A solution that enables low-carbon electricity generation and continued …
In this paper, the impact of Photovoltaic (PV) micro cracks is assessed through the analysis of 4000 polycrystalline silicon solar cells. The inspection of the cracks has been carried out …
There is an intense need to optimize agrivoltaic systems. This article describes the invention of a new testing system: the parametric open source cold-frame agrivoltaic system …
