  2. Renewable energy sources, including solar power systems, are rapidly becoming essential elements of power grids throughout the world — especially in the U.S. and Europe. However, cybersecurity for these systems is often an afterthought, creating a growing risk to grid security, stability and availability. New research from network security solution provider Forescout found an insecure ecosystem…

  4. Trinasolar announced it has developed an “industrial-standard” solar panel that reaches 800 W. The 3.1 m2 module using 210×105-mm perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells reached 808 W and was certified by inspection body TÜV SÜD. The rectangular cell (essentially a half-cut G12 wafer) layers silicon and perovskites to exceed conventional efficiency ratings. “This is a monumental…

  5. Scanifly, a solar design and field operations software, has integrated services with Pegasus, a California-based rooftop solar mounting systems provider. The integration automatically transfers Scanifly design data and panel placement directly into the Pegasus Design Tool, eliminating platform switching and duplicate work. The direct API integration connects Scanifly’s design environment with Pegasus’ racking layout, bill…
