Abstract:

In recent years, the advancement of photovoltaic power generation technology has led to a surge in the construction of photovoltaic power stations in desert gravel areas. However, traditional equal cross-section photovoltaic bracket pile foundations require improvements to adapt to the unique challenges of these environments. This paper introduces a new type of photovoltaic bracket pile foundation named the “serpentine pile foundation” based on the principle of biomimicry. Utilizing experimental data, numerical simulation technology was employed to comprehensively investigate the pullout resis

Abstract:

The mass deployment of solar energy technology has been inspired by sustainable energy objectives. However, end‐of‐life solar photovoltaic modules present the growing dilemma of solar waste management. A circular economy approach should therefore be applied to the solar industry due to the valuable materials contained within modules, and their upfront emissions and energy intensity. Solar module recycling has to date been delineated into three phases: disassembly, delamination, and extraction. Disassembly has been commercially established; delamination has experienced some progression with fur

Abstract:

This paper investigates the obstacles hindering the deployment of energy storage (ES) in distributed photovoltaic (DPV) systems by constructing a tripartite evolutionary game model involving energy storage investors (ESIs), distributed photovoltaic plants (DPPs), and energy consumers (ECs). Utilizing system dynamics (SD), this study systematically analyzes how parameter changes impact the deployment of DPV-ES systems. The findings reveal several critical impediments: (1) Lack of Incentives for DPPs. Under basic parameters, DPPs show no incentive to adopt positive deployment strategies due to h

Abstract:

AbstractIn the flexible photovoltaic (PV) industry, increment of the metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) deposition zone is crucial to reducing the cost of ownership and increasing the power conversion efficiency (PCE). This implies that the larger closed coupled showerhead (CCS) of MOCVD system should be used in the manufacture of flexible gallium arsenide (GaAs) PV thin‐film solar cells. Currently, Aixtron Crius II is the largest commercial CCS reactor for GaAs deposition with 55 × 2 inches circular wafers. As the size of the carrier and showerhead increases, the deposition unifo
