The rebound effect of solar energy.
Researchers from Australia and Vietnam have analysed the short- and long-term dynamics of the rebound effect of solar energy.
The rebound effect is a reduction in the expected gains from a more resource-efficient technology resulting from a behavioural or systemic change.

NREL confirms median panel loss of 0.75% p.a.
The US NREL examined the degradation of commercial and utility PV sites in the US between 2008 and 2022. It examined data from 25,000 inverters at nearly 2,500 commercial and utility PV sites, equivalent to 8 GW of solar power. The average age of the PV systems observed was five years.
The researchers highlighted

BayWa r.e. Solar Systems gives its opinion on the volume of panels in storage
Julien Chirol, President of BayWa r.e. Solar Systems, comments on the volume of panels in stock in French warehouses.
He says that very little of this equipment is suitable for the French market. What's more, availability is declining as transport becomes more difficult.
He acknowledges that it is very difficult to contradict

UL certification for a new vertical PV mounting system
A few months after discovering the benefits of vertical panel installation, the American company Sunstall has obtained UL certification for its new vertical PV mounting system called Sunzaun. It is the first vertical solar mounting system to obtain such a safety and reliability certification in the United States.
The vertical configuration
