While PV modules and inverters still represent the highest share of the initial capital expenditure of a large-scale PV system, there are other costs, including balance of system components and ...

A large portion of design for recycling concerns product assembly. Gluing parts together can mean that they cannot be separated cost efficiently, or ever again at all. Push-fit connections are the ...

The world of a photovoltaic system and its power inverter is harsh; isolation can help meet some of the unavoidable challenges. How you implement that isolation affects long-term reliability as well ...

Although I’m much more enamored with big motors, large drives, and prime movers, I’ve had my share of fun with smaller motors. One of the most memorable occasions was in a well-respected motor lab.

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Solar panels make electricity from sunlight. But your home can't use that electricity directly. That's where solar inverters come in. Inverters are found ...

Improving the modern electric drivetrain isn't easy, but it's certainly worthwhile. It's rewarding too, for any one entering the Google and IEEE 'Littlebox Challenge'--a competition to design a ...
