FTC Solar Advances New Clamp For First Solar Thin-film Modules
FTC Solar, a leading manufacturer of solar power equipment, has developed a new single-axis tracker clamp for First Solar thin-film modules. The single-axis tracker clamp is a tool that helps to fasten the solar modules to the roof. The new clamping system can be used with First Solar’s commercial line of flat-shade solar panels and features a maximum tracking range of 10 degrees in both directions.
The company said that its …
Longi Gains An Efficiency Of 26.81
LONGi Power is celebrating its 26.81% efficiency for HJT solar cells, which represents a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to develop low-cost and high-performance silicon solar cell technology.
A solar cell is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. The efficiency of a solar cell is the ratio of the amount of usable energy from the sun that it converts to electricity and the amount of electrical power converted.

America Joins The Silicon Solar Cells Bandwagon
The American solar industry has been in a constant state of growth since 2010, with the number of jobs in the sector rising every day. The United States will start manufacturing silicon solar cells for the first time in half a decade, after years of research and development.
Silicon is a key component of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. It is used to make semiconductors that are used to make solar panels. Currently, about 90 percent of all solar cells are made from crystalline silicon—a cheap, abundant material.
