Figure 1: Infineon’s four-step qualification plan for CoolGaN™ devices
Introduction
Silicon semiconductor technology has evolved considerably over the past 50 years, during which time, multiple failure modes affecting device reliability have been discovered, researched, and addressed.
This has led to the development of models and equations for failure modes like time-de

Ben Frank with Solar Edge
Renewable energy is the future, and at some point, it’s just a matter of building it out, in all its forms, and realizing the long-term benefits. But that points to a major problem with renewable energy, particularly solar power – that it’s most inaccessible for low-income families. That’s where community so

Anthony Malascalza, CEO of Limitless Consulting and Marketing, a door-to-door sales company in the energy deregulation market
Energy prices went hogwild in 2022. Naturally, one of the biggest culprits was the war in Ukraine, since Europe leans on Russia for most of their oil and natural gas and America imports enough from Russia that its absence was noticeable. But some feel that over-regulation of energy has also contributed to su

The more planar molecular structure of A4T-3 enabled it with lower energetic disorder and reduced energy loss, thus higher photovoltaic performance of the PTVT-T:A4T-3-based device.
Non-fused-ring organic photoactive materials have attracted broad attention in recent years due to their low synthetic cost. Different from the rigid coplanar structure of fused-ring molecules, the easily rotated conformation of non-fused-ring molecules could lead to the different energetic disorder, which gr

Mark Kapczynski, CMO, with Energy Shares
While renewable energy recently surpassed coal in consumption, the first time in 130 years, over 60% of electricity production in the US is still generated via fossil fuels. That obviously clashes with our goal of going carbon neutral by this middle of this century, so something has to be done.

Those PRC rascals are at it again. Allegedly.
Back in December, the U.S. Department of Commerce released its preliminary findings on circumvention inquiries of solar cells and modules from the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
They determined that 4 of 8 companies under investigation had shipped cell
