More than just “fuel saving:” How rooftop PV slashed grid demand in middle of heatwave

More than just “fuel saving:” How rooftop PV slashed grid demand in middle of heatwave

In last week’s heatwave, wind and solar generation were excellent, as they typically are on extreme demand days – certainly doing more than just ‘fuel saving’.
Tiny cracks and hot weather can slash useful life of some solar panels to just 11 years, UNSW research finds

Tiny cracks and hot weather can slash useful life of some solar panels to just 11 years, UNSW research finds

Roughly a fifth of solar panels have been found to degrade much more quickly than expected, leading to calls for different testing standards to identify faults.
