A look at the first artificial solar eclipses created by two European satellites

A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipses through precise and fancy formation flying. The result is hours of on-demand totality for scientists. The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures Monday. Launched late last year, the two spacecraft have produced 10 solar eclipses so far… https://www.chron.com/business/article/how-two-satellites-are-mimicking-total-solar-20379311.php

Bila Solar produces first US-made PERC solar modules with ES Foundry cells

Bila Solar produces first US-made PERC solar modules with ES Foundry cells

The modules will be based on ES Foundry’s passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) cell technology. The two firms signed a 300MW supply deal in February. ES Foundry told PV Tech Premium earlier this year that it chose PERC technology because of the storm of patent and intellectual property (IP) lawsuits surrounding tunnel oxide passivated contact
