New global model reveals hidden UV risk for next-generation solar panels
Engineers from UNSW have created a worldwide UV radiation map for solar panels, highlighting major differences in exposure depending on climate and mounting systems. Their new global study has revealed that ultraviolet (UV) radiation may be quietly shortening the lifespan of next-generation solar panels by up to 10 years—and current industry testing standards may not fully reflect real-world conditions.
