Navigation for News Categories Photo: RNZ / Samuel Rillstone A proposed tax change will affect people who have solar power on their roofs, and sell power back into the grid. Revenue Minister Simon Watts said on Tuesday he had introduced a new tax bill aimed at boosting New Zealand’s economy, helping businesses grow, and making […]

Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) MAUI, HI – AUGUST 25, 2025 — The highest-resolution images of a solar flare captured at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm) ever captured may reshape how we understand the Sun’s magnetic architecture—and improve space weather forecasting. Using the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar

Inouye Solar Telescope Sees Unprecedented Fine Details in Coronal Flare Loops

Uncategorized / By

Astronomers using the Visible Broadband Imager at NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured dark coronal loop strands with unprecedented clarity during the decay phase of an X1.3-class flare on August 8, 2024. The loops averaged 48.2 km in width — perhaps as thin as 21 km — the smallest coronal loops ever imaged. This

Dominance of PV and the shift to bifacial back contact c-Si technology in the next solar decade

Dominance of PV and the shift to bifacial back contact c-Si technology in the next solar decade

Uncategorized / By

The evolution of PV technology has progressed through several distinct phases, from early aluminium back surface field (Al-BSF) cells to the current generation of high-efficiency architectures. Among these, bifacial modules have emerged as particularly significant due to their ability to capture sunlight on both sides of the panel, typically yielding 5-20% more energy than conventional
